AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1910.

HE increased production of many varieties of these in Japan 
has greatly reduced their cost, and in consequence their 
use has become very general. 
It is our opinion that we ‘should plant the bulbs much deeper 
than we have done heretofore. While traveling in Japan, we 
found that the bulbs of the wild Lilies were usually twelve to 
eigtheen inches below the surface, and we gathered the finest 
flowers from specimens growing on mountains of decaying lava 
where they had abundant rainfall and ample drainage. We be- 
lieve that varieties like Auratum and Speciosum would be favored 
by being set ten or twelve inches deep and would be less affected 
by frost and drought. ‘The beds should be thoroughly covered 
with leaves or litter during the winter. 
If Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each. 
| SPECIAL NOTICE. ‘ the late flowering Lilies 
cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our

mature, we have decided to send all the early varteties, approxt- 
mately September 15-30. The late sorts, being subject to 
| delays of steamers, etc., will be forwarded early in November, 
or as svon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation 
| of the Lily-beds or borders early in autumn, covering them with 
| four to six inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground 
Jreezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the 
following: Auratum, Batemanni, Krameri, Henryt, and 
Speciosum. Lilium Candidum will be shipped on arrival, as 
zt zs essential that they should make a fall growth to ensure 
perfect blooms the next season. 
OUR NATIVE LILIES, 
as shown in the accompanying illustration, are best for pro- 
ducing natural effects. They thrive in moist soil or where 
there is partial shade, and for such situations no flowers are 
more satisfactory. Once planted, they care for themselves. 
The shrubbery is an ideal place for Lilies, their flowers 
coming when most of the shrubs are out of bloom. Lilium 
Superbum, Canadense and Philadelphicum are suitable for 
shrubbery planting as well as the Elegans varieties and 
the Tiger Lilies. These should be planted in clumps 6to 8 
inches deep and the bulbs 6 inches apart.
