LILIUMS 



SPECIAL NOTICE — Lily bulbs willbe forwardea 

 as they mature, visually late in September and during 

 October. TTe omit from our list this season the Japa- 

 nese sorts, Auratum and Speciosum, their importation 

 being prohibited on account of lack of steamer space. 



In the event of our being able to secure a supply during 

 the winter months they will be offered in our Garden 

 Book for 1919. 



The genus embraces a vast number of species; we, how- 

 ever, confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give 

 the best results with the least care. It is in the hardy border 

 or among shrubbery that Lilies do best, as they get the bene- 

 fit of the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so neces- 

 sary for their welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least 

 three times their own depth, and when hard frost sets in, 4 

 to 6Jnches of leaves or litter should be placedover them; this 

 should be removed in the spring, when danger from hard 

 frost is past. When grown in pots it is advisable to begin 

 with the smallest pot in which the bulbs can be placed, and 

 to shift into larger pots as the plant progresses. Our new 

 book, "Dreer's Hints on the Growing of Bulbs," contains 

 very full directions on the growing of Hardy Lilies. Price, 25 

 cts. Copies free to customers who ask for it when ordering.
