LILIES 



There are few gardens which do not support some of the 

 many varieties of Lilies. They are hardy and free-blooming; 

 with flowers of such chaste form and waxen beauty, they 

 dignify their environment. A judicious selection of varieties 

 will ensure a constant succession of bloom from May until 

 November. 



NOTICE. Owing to the difference in time of maturing 

 among the various Liliums, and their separate importations, 

 we divide the sorts in this list according to the general time 

 when we can fill orders. Please observe these dates carefully, 

 in ordering, to avoid disappointment and misunderstanding.

It would be an advantage to lay out the proposed 

 Lily-beds or borders to contain tbe following varieties, 

 early in the autumn; covering ground with a litter of 

 leaves or other substance to about 6 inches. This will 

 insure a proper soil condition to receive the bulbs when 

 they arrive, even in December.

 the finest of all hardy Lilies. Flowers very large, made up 

 of broad white petals, thickly studded crimson maroon with
