Beautiful Lilies to Plant This Fall 



Most Lily bulbs being of late ma- 

 turity are not ready for delivery un- 

 til October and November. This is 

 the best time to plant them. If, how- 

 ever, the ground is liable to freeze 

 before you receive them, the best 

 thing is to prepare your bed, cover 

 with leaves, manure or straw to pre- 

 vent freezing until the bulbs arrive 

 and then plant as soon as received. 



LILLIUM CANDIDUM (Annunciation or 

 Madonna Lily). Northern France grown. 

 (Ready for delivery in September.) Many 

 people do not know how easily they may 

 grow these wonderful flowers in their own 

 gardens. From twenty to thirty large snow- 

 white belis are borne each season on their 

 long stems giving forth a delightful frag- 

 rance during May and June. Plant as early 

 as possible in the fall, covering with not 

 more than 2 inches of dirt. Dust bu'.bs 

 lightly with sulphur before planting to in- 

 sure best results. Prices, extra fine large 

 bulbs, 20 cts. each; $2.00 doz. Powdered 

 sulphur, 10 cts. per lb.
