LILIUM VARIETIES— BULBS 



Lilies are stately and most beautiful bulbous plants — producing large flowers of 

 exquisite outline and varied coloring. They are hardy even in cold locations with 

 protection, usually surviving for many years. Ideal locations are in the shrubbery or 

 herbaceous border where the roots are sheltered from the hot sun. Groups of 6 or 

 more lilies of a kind, here and there, in such situations are most effective. Large 

 isolated clumps or beds of the varieties Auratum, Henryi, Regale, Speciosum, Tigrinum, 

 etc., are also very beautiful.They should be planted just as soon as the ground can be 

 worked 6 to 8 inches below the surface in light soils, or 4 to 5 inches below in heavy 

 soils; in the latter case the bulbs should be surrounded by sand to facilitate drainage. 



Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily.) 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 and possess a most delicious 

 fragrance. Season of bloom from Julv to October. 3 to 5 feet. Extra size bulbs, 

 9 to 11 inch, 50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $37.50 per 100.
