JflPAH lilhlES. 



Our Complete Collection of Lilies includes nil the varieties that careful trials show as suited to 

 cultivation in all parts of America. The large, sound, picked bulbs we send out invariably give satisfaction 

 and prove successful wliere others fail. We annually supply Lilies to a larger number of people than any 

 other establishment in this countrv. Careful directions for culture are given below. 



DIRECTIONS POR.CULTURE.— Lily bulbs should be planted quite deep, say not less than six 

 to eight inches. Unlike most other flowers, they do not need strong ground or manure, but thrive best in 

 a partially shaded situation, sheltered by shrubbery and other plants. They are entirely hardy, and need 

 no protection in Winter, though in exposed situations it is advisable to give a slight covering of leaves or 

 coarse litter when convenient. Lilies increase in size and beauty with age, and should be left imdisturbed 

 from year to year. When the best effect is desired, we recommend planting one ,or two dozen of a kind, 

 rather than one or two each of several kinds; they are very desirable, and always give satisfaction. They 

 can be planted Spring or Fall, as preferred.
