Lilies 



For stateliuess 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 Liliuni candiduni 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 tlirives 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 culture, a compost of loam and peat in equal parts, with the addition of 

 some sand, is recommended. 



Lilium Harris!! and Lilium candidum ready in August; others not until November. 



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 flowers are very sweet-scented and of great substance, 

 lasting 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 Avinter.
