LI LIES 



continued. 



LILIUM AURATUM. 



Of all the Lily tribe, this is undoubtedly one of 

 the finest, whether we regard its size, its sweet- 

 ness, or its exquisite arrangement of color. Its 

 large and graceful flowers are composed of six 

 petals, of a delicate ivory-white color, thickly 

 studded with chocolate crimson spots, and striped 

 through the centre a golden yellow. From six 

 to twenty flowers are produced on a stem, and, as 

 the bulbs acquire age and strength, the flowers 

 increase in size and number. It is perfectly hardy, 

 and thrives best in a moderately dry, rich loam, 

 where the water does not lie in winter. Good 

 drainage is necessary to the successful growing 

 of this Lily. Plant six inches deep, and cover 

 lightly during Winter. 



Lilium Auratum — First Size, 9 to ii inches in 

 circumference, 15c. each, $1.50 per dozen; 

 mailed free. 



Lilium Auratum — Second Size, 7 to 9 inches in 

 circumference. loc. each, $1.00 per dozen; 

 mailed free. 



CULTURE IN POTS.— When grown in pots, 

 the best soil is sandy peat, but they will flower 

 finely in a light, rich mixture. It is advisable to 

 begin with the smallest size pot in which the 

 bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger and 

 larger pots as the plant progresses, and until the 

 flower buds appear, when, of course, no further 

 shifting should be done. A cool temperature 

 suits it best, and the plants should be liberally 

 watered during the period of growth and flower- 

 ing. 



LILIUM CANDIDUM. 



THE. BRIDAL LILY OF BERMUDA. 



The old-fashioned pure white Garden Lily. As 

 it starts into growth very early in the Fall, it 

 should be ordered early, and for this reason it is 

 best planted in August and September. It is also 

 considerably used in some localities for forcing. 

 It grows about four feet high, bearing large clus- 

 ters of snowy white, medium-sized flowers. Se- 

 lected bulbs, extra fine, loc. each, 75c. per dozen; 

 by mail, $1.00 per dozen; $3.50 per 100.

 of our best window plants. To aid profuse bloom- 

 ing, keep them dormant from the middle of June

 heat in abundance, and the result will be most 

 satisfactory.
