BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLAMTIIXG-^ 



I— LILIES^! 



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 main- 

 tain a continuous and unbroken succession of bloom until autumn. They are also ex- 

 cellent 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. L. Harrisii. Candidum and Formosum are ready in August. 



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

 popular of the hardy garden lilies. It thrives best in locations where 

 the lower portion of the plant will be partially sheltered from the hot 

 sun, as among peonies or herbaceous plants in the hardy border, where 

 groups of 6 to 12 of these lilies produce a stately and magnificent 

 effect. 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 abun- 

 dantly from June to October and possess a most delicious fragrance. 3 

 to 5 feet. (See cut.)
