BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLAIMTIIVG -^ 



Lilies are matchless among hardy garden plants for stately habit, beauty 

 of form and variety of color. They commence flowering in May, and 

 with the various species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession 

 of bloom until autumn. They are also excellent subjects for the shrubbery 

 border. 



Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before October and 

 November (the best time to plant them). L. Harrisii and Candidum are ready 

 in August. All lily bulbs are delivered free in the U. S. 



Auratum. (The Golden Rayed Lily of Japan.) One of the finest and most 

 popular of the hardy garden lilies. The flowers are pure white, thickly 

 studded with crimson spots, while through the centre of each petal iuns 

 a clear golden band. Fully expanded, the flowers measure nearly a foot 

 across, are produced abundantly from June to October and possess a 

 most delicious fragrance. 3 to 5 feet. {See cut.) Prices: 

 First size bulbs, 15c. each, S1.50 per doz., S10.00 per 100.

 Mammoth bulbs, 30c. each, S3.00 per doz., §20,00 per 100. 



Auratum Platyphyllum. This is without a question one of the most won- 

 derful Lilies in cultivation. The leaves are very long and broad, and 

 the stems attain a height varying from 7 to 10 feet. The flowers 

 are similar in color to Auratum, heavily spotted, but are much larger, 

 the petals more overlapping, and of greater substance. Immense bulbs.

 color purest white with a wide yellow stripe through the centre of each 



- petal, often grows 6 feet high, very free- blooming, frequently bearing 

 from 30 to 40 flowers on a stem. 75c. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Auratum Vittatum Rubrum. Probably the grandest Lily in cultivation.

 nished crimson stripe, half an inch wide through the centre of each 

 petal, and the rest of the flower beautiful spotted crimson. Highly per- 

 fumed. 75c. each; $7.50 per doz.

 each petal, one half of which is red and the other half yellow-, entire

Bermuda Easter Lilies. (See page 31.)
