Madonna Lilies. 



Hardy Garden Lilies 



The Lilies are the crowning glory of the garden. From time 

 immemorial they have commanded the admiration of mankind. 

 All of us know them, yet, strange to say, few gardeners realize 

 how many and varied in form they are, or how easy it is to 

 get a start with them. A few bulbs planted in congenial soil 

 will not only live from year to year but will multiply in- 

 definitely. 



Plant them, if possible, in a rather sandy spot, first enrich- 

 ing the soil with plenty of manure which, however, should 

 not touch the bulb itself. Be sure to plant them deep enough — 

 6, 8, or even 10 inches is not too deep. 



Lily bulbs mature late and sometimes the imported varieties 

 do not arrive until after the ground is frozen, in which event 

 they will be delivered early in the Spring. Bulbs we offer 

 are all of the best quality.

 if planted in November. True northern-grouTi stock. Large bulbs, 35c each; S3. 50 per doz.;
