LILIES 



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). 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. Harrisii. Candidum and For- 

 mosum are ready in August.

The weight per doz. is 



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

 most popular of the hardy garden lilies. It thrives best in locations 

 where the lower portion of the plant will be partially sheltered from 

 the hot sun, as among peonies or herbaceous plants in the hardy 

 border, where groups of 6 to 12 of these lilies produce a stately 

 and magnificent effect. The flowers are pure white, thickly studded 

 with crimson spots, while through the centre of each petal runs 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.)

 flowers, 10 inches in length; interior pure white with chocolate- 

 colored anthers; exterior brownish purple. (Weight: 2\ lbs. per doz.)_ 



Candidum, Henderson's Superior Northern Grown. (Ready in August.) 

 This is the ever popular, fragrant, snow-white, hardy garden Lily ; 

 which is also known as "Annunciation Lily," and "Madonna Lily." 

 It grows 3 to 4 feet high, and blooms in the open ground in June. 

 When grown in bold masses or in rows these lilies are especially 

 effective, the purity of their snow white flowers against surrounding 

 greenery of shrubs, grass and trees is very telling. This lily 

 dislikes being coddled, thriving best when it can remain undis- 

 turbed for years in good garden soil. Price, extra large bulbs,
