HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR LILY RULBS 



Lilies are stately and most beautiful bulbous plants — producing large flowers of exquisite outline and varied coloring. They deserve to 

 be more extensively grown in our gardens — being hardy even in cold locations with protection, and usually surviving for many years. The 

 plants and roots ripen and die off every year, leaving the bulb in a dormant condition during the winter. 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
