EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN— Flower Bulbs 



Hardy Lilies (LiiiumVars) 



Majestic and Charming in the 

 Hardy Garden 



■ 



Lilies are stately and most beautiful bulbous plants — producing 

 large flowers of exquisite outline and varied coloring. They arc hardy 

 even in cold locations with protection, and usually surviving for many 

 \ cars. Ideal locations arc in the shrubbery or herbaceous border 

 where the roots are sheltered from the hot sun. Groups of (i or more 

 lilies of a kind, here and there, in such situations are most effective. 

 Large isolated clumps or beds of the varieties Auratum. Henryi. Spccio- 

 sum, Tigrinum, etc., are also vtry beautiful. They should be planted 

 just as soon as the ground can be worked 6 to 8 inches below the sur- 

 face in light soils, or -1 lo , r > inches below in heavy soils: in the latter 

 case the bulbs should be surrounded by sand to facilitate drainage. 



Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) The flowers are pure 

 white, thickly studded with crimson spots, while through the center 

 of each petal runs a clear golden band. Fully expanded, the flowers
