BARR’S BEAUTIFUL HARDY LILIES. 
FOR PLANTING IN BEDS, BORDERS, AND FOR GREENHOUSE DECORATION. 
THE LILY, for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form, is matchless amongst hardy plants. The 
flowering commences in May, and a continuous unbroken succession of bloom, from species of different 
countries, is maintained till the frosts of autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds. The height is given A 
each Lily in feet.

AUBATUM (The White Golden-rayed Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), this is, indeed, the 
Queen of Lilies, and should have a place in every garden and greenhouse. It is of simplest 
culture and perfectly hardy. 
MV are expecting our usual consignment of this beautijul Lily to arrive in November , December , and January 
from Japan, and we are booking orders for delivery immediately on arrival , at the following extremely moderate 
prices. Those who have beds of Rhododendrons may also have beds of this “ Queen of Lilies " for a succession of 
flowers by planting these bulbs freely amongst the Rhododendrons. Those who have beds of Pseonies should 
also plant in the same beds L. auratum. Along the margins of evergreens, clumps of L. auratum, 6 to 12 
bulbs in a clump planted 3 to 6 inches apart, produce a grand effect. North or north-east aspect, unless the 
ground is shaded, is the more preferable situation for this Lily.
