HENDERSON'S 

 GENERAL LIST OF LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering In May, and with the various species a continuous and 

 unbroken succession of bloom can be had until autumn. Most Lily Bulbs, being of 

 late maturity, are not ready before October and November (the best time to plant 

 them). Where the ground is liable to freeze up before the late lilies 

 arrive, it should be mulched with 6 or 8 Inches of leaves or manure so 

 the bulbs may be planted on arrival. L. Harrlsii, s ready in August.
