N:rtr Growr.°: lilium candidum. 



(Ready in August.) 



This is the ever popular, fragrant, snow-white, hardy gar- 

 den Lily, which is also known as " Annunciation Lily," and 

 " Madonna Lily." It grows 3 to 4 feet high, and blooms in 

 the open ground in June. When grown in bold masses or in 

 rows these lilies are especially effective, the brilliancy of their 

 snow-white flowers against surrounding greenery of shrubs, 

 grass and trees is very telling. This lily dislikes being cod- 

 dled, thriving best when it can remain undisturbed for years 

 in good garden soil. Price, (Delivered free in the U. S.) 

 12c. each, $1.25 per doz., $9.00 per 100.
