HARDY LILIES 



"O'er lawns the lily sheds perfume ." —Montgomery 



It IS impossible to paint a word picture of any flower, much less the lily, 

 for lilies have been a garden favorite throughout the centuries. They are so 

 incomparably beautiful that all who see them wish to grow them. Many 

 varieties of hardy lilies are natives of this country, while others have been 

 imported from Europe and Asia. They should be planted in the fall, as soon 

 as the bulbs are available, as the growth will be stronger than the same bulbs 

 planted in the spring. Most varieties are ready for planting in September and 

 October, while the Japanese Speciosum and Auratum forms do not reach this 

 country until late November or December, at which time the ground, some- 

 times frozen, makes it impossible to plant them. To regain, for the Japanese 

 bulbs, the lost growing time, we pot all late arrivals so they may be planted 

 with perfect success in the spring. Winter lilies, however, should be planted 

 from 3 to 10 inches deep, depending on the species. 



The specimens on the following pages are selected for their hardiness, beauty 

 and adaptability to general conditions. All extra large flowering bulbs.
