Beautiful Lilies to Plant This Fall 



Most Lily bulbs being of late ma- 

 turity are not ready for delivery un- 

 til October and November. This is 

 the best time to plant them. If, how- 

 ever, the ground is liable to freeze 

 before you receive them, the best 

 thing is to prepare your bed cover 

 with leaves, manure or straw to pre- 

 vent freezing until the bulbs arrive 

 and then plant as soon as received. 



LILLIUM CANDIDUM (Annunciation or 

 Madonna Lily). (Ready for delivery in Sep- 

 tember.) Many people do not know how eas- 

 ily they may grow these wonderful flowers 

 in their own gardens. From twenty to thirty 

 large snow-white bells are borne each season 

 on their long stems giving forth a delightful 

 fragrance during May and June. Plant as 

 early as possible in the fall, covering with 

 not more than 2 inches of dirt. Dust bulbs 

 lightly with sulphur before planting to in- 

 sure best results. Prices, extra fine large 

 bnlbs, 20 cts. each; $2.00 doz. Powdered 

 sulphur, 10 cts. per lb. 



Lillium Candidum 



LILLIUM AURATUM (Gold Banded Lily 

 of Japan). Large, graceful, fragrant ivory- 

 white flowers. They are studded with Choco- 

 late crimson spots and striped through the 

 center with golden yellow. Blooms from July 

 to September, and does well in semi-shade. 

 Plant 6 inches deep. (October or November 

 delivery.) Mammoth bulbs, 35 cts. each; 12 

 for $3.50. 



HENRYII (Yellow Show Lily). Rich apricot 

 yellow flowers with golden brown spots. A 

 sensation everywhere. Vigorous grower and a 

 single plant will carry as many as 20 big 

 blooms. Grows 5 to 6 feet with fine foliage. 

 Does well in both light and heavy loam. Best 

 adapted to partial shade. Plant about 8 inches 

 deep. Blooms July and August. (October or 

 November delivery.) Extra fine bulbs, 30 cts. 

 each; $3.00 doz. 



REGALE LILY (A Royal Beauty). (Octo- 

 ber or November delivery.) The flowers are 

 white, slightly suffused with pink, with a 

 beautiful shade of canary yellow at the center, 

 blending out part way up the trumpet. The 

 fragrance is fascinating. A splendid hardy 

 Lily for the garden, flowering in July. Well- 

 grown bulbs often produce five to eight blooms.
