L-ILIES. 



Lilies are matchless among hardy garden plants for stately habit, beauty 

 of form and variety of color. They commence flowering in May, and 

 with the various species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession 

 of bloom until autumn. They are also excellent subjects for the shrubbery 

 border. 



Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before October and 

 November (the best time to plant them). L. Harrisii and Candidum are ready 

 in August. All lily bulbs are delivered free in ilie U. S.

 popular of the hardy garden lilies. The flowers are pure white thickly,

 across, are produced abundantly from June to October and possess a 

 most delicious fragrance. 3 to 5 feet. (See cut.) Prices:

 derful Lilies in cultivation. The leaves are very long and broad, and

 petals more overlapping, and of greater substance. Immense bulbs.

 nished crimson stripe, half an inch wide through the centre of each 

 petal, and the rest of the flower beautiful spotted crimson. Highly per-
