HARDY LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various 

 species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession of 

 the shrubbery border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late ma- 

 turity, are not ready before October, November and Decem- 

 ber 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 to keep it' 

 from freezing, so the bulbs may be planted on arrival. 



Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) The flowers are pure white.
