HARDY LILIES 
Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various species 
maintain a continuous and unbroken succession in the shrubbery 
border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before 
October, November and December (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, 
thickly studded with crimson spots, while through the centre of each petal 
runs a clear golden band. Fully expanded, the flowers measure nearly a 
foot acr }ss and possess a most delicious fragrance. Season of bloom from 
"July to October. 3 to 5 feet. (<S'ce illustration.)
