LI LIES, lifost Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before November (the 

 best time to plant them), excepting L. Harrisii and Candidum in August. 



Lilies are matchless among hardy garden plants tor beauty of form and variety of 

 color. They commence flowering in May, and with the various species maintain a con- 

 tinuous 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 choicer sorts. They are also excellent subjects for the shrubbery 

 border if planted in groups between hardy Azaleas, Ehododendrons, etc. 



Alexandrae. A beautiful and rare Lily from Japan. It is perfectly hardy and thrives 

 under garden culture, blooming in July, and is equally adapted for growing in pots

 feet high, bearing purest snow-white flowers, open and recurved, 7 to 8 inches across, 

 of magnificent proportions, with a funnel-like throat 5 to 6 inches long. The flowers
