lilies for early lilies are ten inches away from each 

 group of "Gold Bound" Japanese Iris. In each tri- 

 angular space a firm large bulb of Lilium Aura- 

 turn is planted for superb mid-summer lilies; ten 

 inches away from the Auratum Lily groups of the 

 late flowering, pure white Japanese Iris Kigan- 

 no-misao. This spacing of ten inches from cen- 

 ter leaves a liberal triangle. In these triangle 

 groups (four or five bulbs) of lilium Speciosum 

 Album. These provided late lilies. Speciosum 

 Album are the most wonderful of all the Japanese 

 lilies. The petals are of great substance, the 

 raised dots have a luster as of pearls while the 

 entire flower appears illumined. I have found it 

 to be as hardy, as enduring, as the wild tiger lilies. 

 A few inches away in advance and between are 

 small masses of Heuchera White Empress, white 

 long spurred Columbine and the golden Colum- 

 bine Chrysantha, Maidenhair Ferns, Clumps of 

 Golden Day Lilies, near Speciosum Lilies Alba,
