NOVELTIES AND RARE LILIES. 



Lilium Rubellum. The New Sea Shell »Lily of Japan. 



I am importing this new Lily direct from Japan, I cannot conceive o£ 

 anything more beautiful than a six-inch pot with the plants of this lovely lily in 

 dower in early spring. It is one of the earliest lilies. It grows about one foot 

 high, compact and elegant, with flowers of a charming pink color. In pots, 

 this lily should be grown in poor, stony, sandy loam with two inches of drainage 

 and very judiciously watered from the time of potting. The soil must be kept 

 moist, but never wet, and success will be sure tc follow. Out of doors, I 

 would recommend a northern or eastern aspect, and failing this, plant under 

 deciduous bushes, where the roots in winter will keep the bulbs comparatively 

 dry, and shade the plants from the sun in the early spring. When these bulbs 

 are received place them in some semi-damp moss or earth, in a cool, damp 

 place; cover the box you put the Lilies in with a newspaper, to keep them from 

 dying out, until ready to pot or plant outside. 



Prices for this beautiful new Lily, 15c. each; 2 for 25c.; S for 60c. 

 1 Bulb each of Rubellum, Tenuifolium, and Auratum for 40c.
