HARDY LILIES

(Ready in November.) t*A : .-^4?F~-?W^m&i 



When grown in the border or open ground, they

 movals being injurious. In the Autumn give the 

 bulbs a heavy mulching of leaves; coarse manure 

 or boughs will prove highly beneficial. Plant all 

 Lilies at least six inches deep. 



Auratum (Golden-rayed Japanese Lily). Flowers 



6 to 8 inches in width, pure white, with a wide 



band of gold running through the center of each 



petal and numerous crimson spots.

PAEONIES 



(Ready in October.) 



The old-fashioned double Families are too well known to require description. 

 Their popularity is due to their great merits— their easy culture, the handsome appear- 

 ance of the plant, and the brilliant and striking effect of their massive, finely formed, 

 richly colored flowers. Among hardy herbaceous perennials, the Chinese P:eouies 

 rank about first for lawn or flower-border or shrubbery decoration.
