LILIUM (Lilies) 



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, and 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, Speciosum, Tigrinum, etc., are also very beautiful. They 

 should be planted 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. 



Lilium Auratum (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) The flowers are pure white, thickly studded with 

 crimson spots, while through the center 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 June to
