Hardy Garden Lilies 



The six Hardy Lilies listed make roots not only at the base of the bulbs, but also along 

 the stem, and for this reason they should be planted among other plants or mulched with 

 about 3 inches of lawn clippings or Peat Moss during the Summer to protect the roots 

 from the rays of the sun. Cover the bulbs about three times their greatest diameter, plac- 

 ing a quantity of sand at the base of the bulb to insure good drainage.

Tuberous Rooted Begonia 



These splendid flowers are always a feature in 

 English gardens, and it is only because they are 

 so little known that they are not used more in 

 America. Plants are of vigorous, bushy growth, 

 12 to 15 inches high, and bear huge flowers 

 (sometimes 3 and 4 inches across) of the same 

 waxy texture as the small Begonias. Colors 

 range through yellow and pink to red. They may 

 be used either as pot plants or for half-shaded 

 beds, and should be planted in rich soil that can 

 be kept well watered. Start indoors in March or 

 April and transplant outdoors in May. 



Giant Double Copper, Crimson, Pink or Yellow. 



Large size bulbs, 1% to 2 inches in diameter. 

 35c each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100.
