.. ~ LILIES FOPv THE OPEN GROUND. 



If Lilies are wanted by mail, add S cents each. 



Special Notice. Many of the late flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our customers the annoyance and expense 

 of shipments as they mature, we have decided to send all the early varieties, approximately September 15—30. The late sorts, being subject to delays of steamers,- 

 etc., will be forwarded early in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation of the Lily-beds or borders early in Autumn, cover- 

 ing them with four to six inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the following: Auratum, 

 Batemanni, Henryi and Speciosum. Lilium Candidum will be shipped on arrival, as it is essential that they should make a Fall growth to insure perfect 

 blooms the next season.

 ing from 3 to 12 flowers, rich buff, delicately spotted

Lilium Regale. (The Regal Lily.) Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant col- 

 lector, collected for us the original bulbs, in North-Western China. He 

 considers this the finest of all Lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent 

 for forcing. It has been predicted that tiiis will become the Easter Lily 

 of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown at home. The flowers 

 are white, slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful shade of canary- 

 yellow at the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delight- 

 fully perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, and lacking the hea^T, op- 

 pressive odor of most Lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July. Awarded a 

 Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, and a first-class 

 certificate by the Royal International Exhibition, London, 1912. (Bulbs 

 ready in October. )
