LILIUM (Lily) 



Among the stateliest of all hardy plants. Lilies, 

 during their respective flowering seasons, consti- 

 tute the chief attraction in the hardy border. Be- 

 cause they last for years, occupying the 

 same situation, it is well to carefully pre- 

 pare 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. 



For some reason, the impression seems to 

 prevail among many home gardeners that 

 Lilies are diflicult to grow. Far from it! 

 The varieties we offer not only endure our 

 winters perfectly, without protection (ex- 

 cept L. auratum), but they actually natural- 

 ize themselves and become part of the per- 

 petual garden scheme. By planting a few 

 of every variety we ofi^er, at least eight 

 weeks of Lily flowering season may be en- 

 joyed. 



LILIUM 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. 

 Very fragrant. Should be given some pro- 

 tection in northern latitudes.

SPECTOSUM LILIES

 door culture. Fragrant. All are hardy.

 pearance as the Speciosum Lilies, but with
