LILIES 



For stateliness of habit, beauty of form and variety of coloring, 

 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 require little 

 rare. With the exception of L. candidum and L. tigrinum, which 

 prefer a deep, rich loam; they all do best in a light, well-drained 

 soil. Some peat or leaf-mold may be used to advantage. L auraium 

 I annot 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 conserva- 

 tory plants. For pot culture, a compost of loam and peat in equal 

 parts, with the addition of some sand is recommended. 



Lllium Harrlsil and Lilium candidum ready in August; 

 others not until November 



LILIUM HARRISII (Bermuda easter lily) 



BULBS NOW READY 



JONQUILS 



The Bermuda Easter Lily is perhaps the finest and most popular 

 of winter-blooming plants. The large, handsome, pure white trumpet-shaped flowers are very sweet-scented and 

 of great substance, and last a long time after cutting. Its stately and graceful habit renders it a perfect pot- 

 plant for table or window decoration. It gets its popular name from the fact that it is so largely used for church 

 decoration at Easter. It is easily grown and can be forced into flower in a remarkably short time. It requires 

 rich soil but without manure. It is also well adapted to garden culture, but in this latitude the bulbs should 

 have a good covering of ashes or litter to protect them over winter. 



If ordered by mail, add from 10 to 20 cents per dozen for postage, according to size
