HENDERSON'S 

 GENERAL LIST OF LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering in May, and with the various species a continuous 

 and unbroken succession of bloom can be had until autumn. Most Lily Bulbs, 

 being of late maturity, are not ready before October and November (the best 

 time to plant them) . Where the ground is liable to freeze up before the late lilies 

 arrive, it should be mulched with 6 or 8 inches of leaves or manure so the bulbs 

 may be planted on arrival. L. Harrisii, is ready in August.

 quire less room making less foliage. Extra large bulbs, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz.

 erly treated, the same plant will grow and bloom without ceasing. ' The plant is of 

 dwarf, compact, strong growth, about 18 inches high, with an abundance of dark 

 green leaves. Dormant bulbs, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz.
