Beautiful L///e^— LILIUM — 



Lilies always have been a most fascinating class of plants to all kinds of gardens. Wherever one 

 sees them they universally elicit admiration for they are indeed glorious in every way. 



There is not a garden that cannot be improved by adding some Lilies. They are so easy to grow 

 and give a magnificent display during the summer. Most Lilies require deep planting because the 

 roots that nourish the plants form on the stem below the surface. The one e.xception in our list is 

 the Madonna Lily which should receive a covering of 2 inches of soil only over the bulbs. For your 

 guidance we have given the depth of planting for each species. 



Please note the delivery date on the different varieties which depends upon the time they 

 mature. Unless you are prepared to care for those received in December please defer ordering 

 until spring as the bulbs are so perishable that we cannot accept their return. It is an easy matter 

 however to plant in the fall if the gardener will prepare his bed thoroughly before frost sets in. A 

 cover of straw, hay, manure, etc., over the soil surface will keep the frost out until the bulbs arrive. 

 Plant upon arrival and replace the cover material.
