LILIUMS. 



Single Bulbs of Lilies mailed free at prices given; rates 

 on larger quantities do not include postage. 



The genus embraces a vast number of species; we, however, 

 confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best 

 results with the least care. It is in the hardy border, or among 

 shrubbery, that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the 

 shade of the surrounding plants which is so necessary for their 

 welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their 

 own depth, and when hard frost sets in 4 to (> inches of leaves 

 or litter should be placed over them; this should lie removed in 

 the spring, when danger from hard fiost is past. When grown 

 in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in which 

 the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the 

 plant progresses. A cool temperature suits them best, and the 

 plants should be liberally watered during the period of growth 

 and flowering.
