Dreer's ^Iutumn Bulb Lost. 



Lilium Auratum. "The Queen of the Lilies." 



The flowers of the Golden Banded Lily of Japan are very fragrant and are composed of six petals of 

 a delicate ivory-white color, thickly studded with rich chocolate crimson spots ; through the centre of 

 each petal is a golden yellow band, from which it derives its name. As the bulbs acquire age and 

 strength, the flowers obtain their maximum size and number. Upwards of twenty flowers have been 

 produced on a single stem. It is perfectly hardy, and thrives best in a moderately dry, rich loam, and 

 should be planted six; inches deep. A slight covering during severe winters will be found beneficial. 



Extra strong flowering bulbs, 50 cents each, $5.00 per dozen. 



Second size, flowering bulbs, 30 cents each, $3.00 per dozen. 



*LILIGS.* 



The varieties of this favorite flower, which we offer, are truly magnificent in color, form and 

 size. They are all hardy, and the bulbs can be planted either in the autumn or spring, although 

 autumn is preferable ; Candidum and Lo7igiflorum Japonicum must be planted in the autumn, as 

 the} - commence then to grow ; a covering of manure will be found beneficial, but must be removed 

 very early in spring to prevent too rapid growth. The ground should be thoroughly drained. 



For pot culture we recommend Candidum, Harrisi, Longiflorum and the various types of 

 Lancifolium.
