LIUUMS 



SPECIAL NOTICE. — Lily bulbs will be forwarded as 

 they mature. As a rule we can furnish Candidum, Har- 

 risii, Canadense, Loncjiflorum, Superbum and Tenui- 

 fiorum in September. The entire balance, from late 

 October to December. 



The genus embraces a vast number of species; we, however, 

 confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best 

 results with the least care. It is in the hardy border or among 

 shrubbery that Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the 

 shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their 

 welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their 

 own depth, and when hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves 

 or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in 

 the spring, when danger from hard frost is past. When grown 

 in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in which the 

 bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the plant 

 progres.ses. Our new book, " Dreer's Hints on the Growing of 

 Bulbs," contains very full directions on the growing of Hardy 

 Lilies. Price, 25 cts. Copies free to customers who ask forit 

 when ordering.
