LILIES 



Candidum, Henderson's Superior Northern Grown. (Ready in 

 August). This is the ever popular, fragrant, snow-white, hardy 

 garden Lily, which is also known as " Annunciation Lily." and 

 " Madonna Lily." It grows 3 to 4 feet high, and blooms in the 

 open ground in June. When grown in bold masses or in rows 

 these lilies are especially effective, the purity of their snow white 

 flowers against surrounding greenery of shrubs, grass and trees 

 is very telling. This lily dislikes being coddled, thriving best 

 when it can remain undisturbed for years in good garden soil.

Lilies are matchless among hardy garden plants for stately habit, beautv 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). 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 en arrival. L. Harrisii and Candidum are ready in August. 



Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) One of the finest and most popular 

 of the hardy garden lilies. 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 across, are produced abund- 

 antly from June to October and possess a most delicious fragrance. 3 to 5 feet.
