Our back cover this year, which please see, we have devoted to Lilies. Too many people do not know how 
easily grown Lilies are. If our native sorts will flourish on dry hillsides and still throw wonderful spikes of flow- 
ers, how much better will they do with a little attention. 
Two Lilies should be planted early, Candidum or St. Joseph Lily, which is probably the hardiest white out-of- 
door sort, and the Harisii, or Easter Lily, for indoors. This latter should be planted in September or October 
and are ready now. 
Auratum Lilies have a fragrance which is almost overpowering in a small room, and besides this they are 
general favorites on account of the large and handsome flowers. Other varieties are less fragrant but not less 
popular. 
Lilium Henryi we are importing from China in large numbers this year, and we want you to plant at least 
one of this magnificent Lily. Heretofore the price has been so high that it has kept this magnificent Lily from 
many gardens, "but this year it is cheap, being only one-third of the former price. It is a grand Lily. 
Choose a spot for Lilies which is shaded and drained, but still moist, and you will be successful in raising 
them in your garden. Set the bulbs out in November (or as late as February 1st) in a good deep soil, planting 
them 5 inches below the top of the .around into which some leaf mould has been worked. Water only lightly 
until they are well rooted, but liberally when of good size and about to blossom. Watch carefully for plant lice 
(ap'liiS) and sprinkle with tobacco dust to keep them off. 
Auratum (Cold-banded Lily) : one of the finest and most popular' 
of the hardy garden lilies. The blossoms are composed of six 
large petals of delicate ivory white, studded with spots, with 
a bright golden band running through the center of each petal. 
The flowers when fully expanded are nearly a foot in diameter, 
are very fragrant and bloom from June to October. 15c and 20c 
each and .$1.25 and $2.00 per dozen, $8.00 and $12.00 per 100, ac- 
cording to size.

crimson at the ends of the yellow rays. 25c each, $2.50 per doz.

llarrisii (The Bermuda Easter Lily) : the flowers are trumpet- 
shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delightfully fragrant.

doz., $10.00 per 100.
