LILIUMS 
SPECIAL NOTICE, —Lily bulbs will be forwarded as they 
mature. As a rule we can furnish Candidum, Harristi, Canadense 
and Superbum in September. The entire balance from late 
October to December. It is advisable to prepare your Lily bed 
early in the autumn and cover with 3 or 4 inches of litter. This will 
keep the ground from freezing and permit the planting of the late- 
maturing kinds, which frequently do not arrive until after hard frost. 
The genus embrac2s a vast number of species; we, however, 
confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best 
results with the least care. It is in the hardy border or among 
shrubbery that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the 
shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their 
welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their 
own depth, and when hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves 
or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in the spring 
when danger from hard frost is past. When grown in pots it is advisable 
to begin with the smallest pot in which the bulbs can be placed, and to shift 
into larger pots as the plant progresses. Our new book, ‘‘Dreer’s Hints on 
the Growing of bulbs,” contains very full directions on the Growing of 
Hardy Lilies. Price, 25 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when 
ordering.

spots, and striped through the centre a golden-yellow; 3 to 5 feet.

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

bulbs blooming freely.
