LILIES 



For stateliness of habit, beauty of form and variety of color- 

 ing, the Lily is without a rival among bulbous plants. Many of 

 the species are delightfully fragrant. Though they may nearly all 

 be called hardy, it is well to protect them against frost in winter 

 by a covering of ashes or litter. They are easily grown and re- 

 quire little care. With the exception of L. candidiim and L. /ii^ri- 

 nmn, which prefer a deep, rich loam, the\' all do best in a light, 

 well-drained soil. Some peat or leaf-mold may be used to advan- 

 tage. L. atirattim cannot bear manure, but thrives in ordinary 

 light soil. They all prefer a partial shade, and the taller sorts 

 must have protection from high winds Many of the stronger- 

 growing kinds are well adapted for planting among shrubs. 

 Most of them make splendid conservatory plants. For pot cul- 

 ture, a compost of loam and peat in equal parts, with the addi- 

 tion of some sand, is recommended. 

 L.lllum Harris!! and L!lium candidum ready !n August; 

 others not until November 



LILIUM HARRISII (Bermuda e aster lily) 



BULBS NOW READY 



The Bermuda Easter Lily is perhaps the finest and most pop 

 ular of winter-blooming plants. The large, handsome, pure white 

 trumpet-shaped flowers are very sweet-scented and of great sub 

 stance, and last a long time after cutting. Its stately and grace 

 ful habit renders it a perfect pot-plant for table or window deco-
