 of the most brilliant, rich and varied hues. We offer them in mixture,

Futtkia (Plantain Lily) 



The Plantain Lilies are among the easiest plants to manage; their 

 broad massive foliage makes them attractive subjects for the border 

 even when not in flower. They succeed equally well in sun or shade; 

 ready in October. 

 Lanceolata. Valuable by reason of its late flowering, lilac flowers in 



September; 2 feet. 



Subcordata Grandiflora. Very large, pure white, lily-shaped, 

 fragrant flowers in August and September; 2\ to 3 feet. 35 cts. 

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



Undulata media picta. Green and white variegated foliage; 



purple flowers. Makes a fine edging; July; 2 feet. 

 Price, except where noted, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. ; $20.00 per 100. 



LILIUMS (Lilies) 



The two varieties offered below are expected to be ready for deliv- 

 ery late in August or early in September. Other sorts will be offered 

 in our Autumn Catalogue. 



Candidum (Annunciation or Madonna Lily). This is one of the most popu- 

 lar of garden Lilies. The flowers pure snow-white and very fragrant, borne 

 on long stems. To succeed with it, it should be planted early in the autumn; 

 give the bulbs a light dusting with powdered sulphur, and do not cover with 

 more than 2 inches of soil; 3 to 4 feet; May and June. The bulbs we offer 

 are heavy, solid stock grown for us in Northern France.

Harrisii (Bermuda Easter Lily). This magnificent Lily is undoubtedly the 

 best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are 

 trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant. 

 The freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly remarkable, even 

 the smallest bulbs blooming freely.
