LILIUM. Lily 



Because they last for years, occupying the same 

 situation, it is well to carefully prepare the bed 

 where they are to be planted. 



The varieties we offer not only endure our Win- 

 ters perfectly, without protection (except L. 

 auratum), but they actually naturalize themselves 

 and become part of the perpetual garden scheme. 

 Auratum. Goldband Lily. Immense, bell-shaped 

 flowers, ivory white, thickly marked with choco- 

 late dots and with a stripe of bright yellow 

 through the center of each petal. Very fragrant.
