LILIUM. Lily 



Because they last for years, occupying the 

 same situation, it well to carefully prepare the 

 l)ed where Lilies are to be planted. They prefer 

 a well-drained soil. 



For some reason, the impression seems to 

 prevail among many home gardeners that Lilies 

 are difficult to grow. Far from it 1 The varie- 

 ties we offer not only endure our winters per- 

 fectly, without protection (except L. • aura- 

 tum), but they actually naturalize themselves.
