THE LENTEN ROSE (HELLEBORUS VIRIDIS).

THE LILHJM (LILIES). 
Bulbs supplied up to end of March. 
THE LILY is matchless amongst hardy p'ants, for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It 
commences flowering in May, and maintains a continuous unbroken succession of bloom, from species of different 
countries, till the frosts ot autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds ; thus it is unequalled for its 
successional display, and is an important plant to associate m beds or borders with Rhododendrons, I’seonias, 
Double Pyretlirums, and Herbaceous plants generally.
