Lilium (ily) 
All herbaceous borders should have a few Lilies scattered 
through them. The sorts offered below can be planted with 
excellent results during the early spring months. It is in the 
hardy border that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of 
the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary 
for their welfare; other varieties should be planted in the 
autumn, and are offered in our autumn catalogue. 
Auratum (Golden-banded Japan Lily). Undoubtedly one of the 
finest. Its large, graceful, fragrant flowers are composed of six 
petals of a delicate ivory-white color, thickly studded with

yellow; 3 to 5 feet. July, September. Extra large-flowering bulbs, 
50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
