LILIUM SPECIOSUM RUBRUM, ONE OF THE SHOWIEST 

 OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY 



LIATRIS. Blazing Star 



Pycnostachya. KANSAS GAY FEATHER. 

 4 to 5 ft. — Handsome and very showy; pale pur- 

 ple flowers on tall, round, dense spikes. Prefers a 

 dry soil. 



LILIUM. Lily 



Among the stateliest of all hardy plants, Lilies, 

 during their respective flowering seasons, constitute 

 the chief attraction in the hardy border. Because 

 they last for years, occupying the same situation, it 

 is well to carefully prepare the bed where they are 

 to be planted. They prefer a well- 

 drained soil. Equal parts of good 

 soil, sand, and leaf mold furnish the 

 right material for a good lily bed. 



Auratum. GOLDEN- 

 BANDED LILY— Immense bell- 

 shaped flowers, ivory white, thickly 

 marked with chocolate dots, and 

 with a stripe of bright yellow 

 through the center of each petal.

 35c. ; dozen, $3.50. Giant bulbs, 

 each, 50c; dozen, $5.00, 



SPECIOSUM LILIES
