Hardy Garden Lilies 



The Lilies are the crowning glory of the garden. From time im- 

 memorial they have commanded the admiration of mankind. All of us 

 know them, yet, strange to say, few gardeners realize how many and 

 varied in form they are, or how easy it is to get a start with them. A 

 few bulbs planted in congenial soil will not only live from year to year 

 but will multiply indefinitely. 



Plant them, if possible, in a rather sandy spot, first enriching the soil 

 with plenty of manure which, however, should not touch the bulb itself. 

 And be sure to plant them deep enough — '6, 8, or even 10 inches is not 

 too deep. 



Lily bulbs mature late and sometimes the imported varieties do not 

 arrive until after the ground is frozen, in which event they will be de- 

 livered early in the spring. Bulbs we offer are all of the best quality. 



Lilium Candidum (The Madonna or Annunciation Lily) 



Native of France, this marvelous free-blooming pure white Lily 

 is a great favorite for border planting. Nothing is more effective than 

 its immaculate snowy white against the deep green of June shrubbery. 

 For best results they should be planted immediately upon arrival 

 from France, usually the first part of September, but will bloom 

 satisfactorily even if planted in November. True northern-grown 

 stock. Large bulbs, 35 cts. each, $3.50 per doz. Mammoth bulbs, 

 45 cts. each, $4.50 per doz.
