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

 drv 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 fur- 

 nish the right material for a good lily bed. 



Auratum. GOLDEN-BANDED LILY — Im- 

 mense bell-shaped flowers, ivory white, thickly 

 marked with chocolate dots, and with a stripe of 

 bright yellow through the center of each petal. 

 Very fragrant. (See illustration on this page.)

 bulbs, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



Try These Pot grown Lilies 



LILIUM CANDIDUM ~- The chaste Ma- 

 donna or Annunciation Lily is known either as 

 a florist's flower (at Easter time) or a garden 

 flower during early June. For the first time 

 this year we offer Madonna Lilies in pots. 

 These will bloom during May — certainly a 

 month before the outdoor planting. We believe 

 that lovers of this beautiful white fragrant 

 Lily will appreciate this new phase of Lovett's 

 Service in Flowering Plants. 



Potted Lilies: $1.00 each; $10.00 per 

 dozen.
