HENDERSON'S AUTUMN BULB CATALOGUE 



GENERAL LIST OF HARDY LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering in June 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 on arrival. If wanted by Parcel Post add -postage at Zone Rates on page 2 of cover. Packed weight per doz. is given.
