We annually supply Lilies to a larger number of people than any other 

 establishment in this country. 



Lilies are a great specialty with us, and we offer what we consider the best varieties adapted for growing in this country. 

 That the bulbs we send out give satisfaction we know, as our sales have steadily increased from a small beginning until we 

 are safe in saying we now annually supply Lilies to a larger number of people than any other establishment in this country. 

 As will be seen by the above illustration, Lily bulbs vary very much in size and appearance ; some of the rarest and most 

 expensive varieties producing the smallest and oddest-shaped bulbs. We take great care to send out strong, fully matured 

 bulbs that cannot fail to give satisfaction. 



DIRECTIONS FOR. CULTURE.- Lily bulbs should be planted quite deep, say not less than 6 or 8 

 inches. Unlike most other flowers, they do not need rich ground nor manure, but thrive best in light soil and a partially 

 shaded or sheltered situation. All the varieties we offer are entirely hardy and need no protection in Winter, though in ex- 

 posed situations it is advisable to give a slight protection of leaves or similar litter. Lilies increase in size and beauty with 

 age and should be left undisturbed from year to year. Where the best effect is desired, we recommend planting one or two 

 dozen of a kind, rather than one or two of several kinds. They are very desirable, and no garden should be without a col- 

 lection of Lilies. 



Lilies can be planted in the Fall or Spring, as preferred.
