(Read Carefully before Ordering) ^ 



SPECIAL NOTICE. -iay bulbs will be forwarded as they 

 mature. Please note time of delivery for each variety. Unless pre- 

 pared to care for those received in December, please defer ordering 

 until you receive our Garden Book for 1931 in which these will be 

 offered for Spring delivery. These bulbs are so perishable that we 

 cannot accept their return. It is advisable to prepare your Lily bed 

 early in the autumn and cover with 3 or 4 inches of litter. This will 

 keep the ground from freezing and permit the planting of the late- 

 maturing kitids, which frequently do not arrive unt,il after hard frost. 



Ill planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their own depth, 

 no animal manure should be used as fertilizer unless thoroughly 

 rotted and worked into the soil beneath the bulbs, setting the latter 

 in pockets of clean soil or sand. When hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 

 inches of leaves or litter should be placed over them; this should be 

 removed in the spring when danger from hard frost is past. When 

 grown in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in 

 which the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the 

 plant progresses. Our book, "Dreer's Hints on the Growing of 

 Bulbs," contains very full directions on the Growing of Hardy 

 Lilies. Price, 25 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when 

 ordering.
