LOBELIA 



Cardinalis (Cardinal Flower) — IV2 to 2 feet. 

 Startling in the brilliancy of its bloom. Car- 

 dinal red, borne in dense spikes in autumn. 

 Prefers moist situations. 



LILIUM (Lily) 

 Among the stateliest of all hardy plants. 

 Lilies, during their respective flowering sea- 

 sons, constitute the chief attraction in the 

 hardy border. They prefer a well-drained 

 soil. Equal parts of good soil, sand and leaf 

 mold furnish the right material for a good 

 Lily bed. 



The varieties we offer not only endure our 

 winters perfectly, without protection (except 

 L. auratum), but they actually naturalize 

 themselves and become part of the perpetual 

 garden scheme.
