LILIES. 



For royal beauty and perfection of form, purity of color and exquisite delicacy of perfume the stately Lily, 

 " The Lady of the Flowering Field," is unsurpassed. Lilies form one of the most beautiful of all the many rich 

 and magnificent families of plants. They have ever been favorites and are only second in popularity to the Rose 

 itself. All are of easy culture and should be freely planted in every garden. Lilies should be planted deeply, not 

 less than six inches, and although all are hardy, alight covering will be found beneficial. For pot culture the 

 best varieties are Candidum, Longiflorumy the Speciosiim sorts, and Auratum. Autumn is the best season for 

 planting Lilies.
