BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1897. 
BARR'S HARDY LILIES— continued. 
covering, remove the pots to a cold frame, pit or greenhouse, and start giving water sparingly, a little 
clear weak liquid manure given twice a week, when the flower- buds are well advanced will greatly assist 
in the development of fine blooms. A north wall or hedge is a suitable situation for starting the bulbs. 
If very early flowers are required the Lily may be started in a gentle heat as soon as potted, but as soon 
as top growth shows itself the plant must be kept as near the glass as possible to prevent being drawn. 
Superbum and the varieties of Canadense and Pardalinum prefer for soil a moist sandy peat, but 
will also thrive in any good fairly moist soil.. 
To those desiring further information regarding Lilies, we recommend Dr. Wallace’s

AUBATtJM (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. 
I'Ve are expecting our first consignment of this beautiful 
I.ily to arrive in November, from Japan, and we are 
booking orders for delivery immediately on arrival, at the 
following extremely moderate prices. Those who have beds 
of Rhododendrons should plant this grand Li'y freely 
amongst them for a succession of flowers. Growing amongst 
Pmonies, and 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. As isolated subjects on large 
lawns, groups of Lillum auratum look very handsome and 
stately. A situation should be chosen where the plants are 
sheltered from cutting winds and screened from the mid- 
day sun. 
Splendid Large Bulbs, producing an abundance of flowers, 
12 for 10/6, 26 for 20/, 60 for 38/, 100 for TO/. 
Good Sized Bulbs, producing numerous flowers 
12 for 7/6, 26 for 14/, 60 for 26/, 100 for 60/.
