PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 



Lilies are matchless amongst hardy plants for beauty of form and Tariety of color. They commence flowering in May, and with the various 

 species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession of bloom until autumn. No class of plants capable of being cultivated out-of-doors possesses 

 so many charms; their stately habit, rich and varied colored flowers, often deliciously fragrant, and easy culture, render them so distinct from all 

 other hardy plants that no collection, however select, should be without a few of the choicest sorts. They are also excellent subjects for the 

 shrubbery border, if planted in groups between hardy Azaleas, Rhododendrons, etc., the soil suitable for these plants being particularly adapted for 

 the growth of many kinds of Lilies, more especially our native and California species. The best time to transplant the bulk of the Lilies is in 

 October and November. 



All Lily Bnllis are delivered free in the United States at tlie sing-le and dozen price, Tant at the 100 rate 



purchaser pays transit.
