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 care. 

 With the exception of Liliutn candidum and Lilium 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. Lilium 

 auratum cannot bear manure but thrives in 

 ordinary light soil. They all prefer a partial 

 shade, and the taller sorts must have protec- 

 tion 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 culture, a com- 

 post of loam and peat in equal parts, with 

 the addition of some sand, is recommended. 



Lilium Harrisii and Lilium candidum 

 ready in August; others not until No- 

 vember. 



Lilium Harrisii 



{Bermuda Easter Lily) 



BULBS NOW READY 



The Bermuda Easter Lily is perhaps the 

 finest and most popular of winter-blooming 

 plants. The large, handsome, pure white, 

 trumpet-shaped fiowers are very sweet- 

 scented and of great substance, lasting a 

 long time after cutting. Its stately and grace- 

 ful habit renders it a perfect pot-plant for 

 table or window decoration. It gets its pop- 

 ular 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. Lilium Harrisii
