HARDY LILIES 



No border of hardy perennials is complete with- 

 out at least a few lilies dotted through it. They 

 succeed better in the hardy border than other 

 situations and the flowers are beautiful, either 

 upon the plant or in vases. 



AURATUM. Golden-Banded Lily.— Immense 

 bell-shaped flowers, (leiicate ivory-white, thickly 

 marked with reddish dioeolate dots, with a stripe 

 of bright yellow through the center of each petal

 very hardy and produces large showy flow^ers in 

 great numbers. Unlike most Lilies, the flowers

 the manner of Tulips. They range in color from 

 orange to dark red; some being apricot, others 

 flame red and variations of these colors in end- 

 less variety ; all being more or less dotted with 

 dark brown. All colors mixed. Each, 12c. ; dozen, 

 $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



HENRYI.— Perhaps the most valuable Lily, all 

 things considered, ever oflered for outdoor culture.

 but the plant is much more rugged and the flowers 

 are a deep orange-yellow banded with green. A 

 very free bloomer. Each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50.

 pomene, frosted white, spotted, clouded and bor-
