A PEW LILIES FOR SPRING PLANTING. 
A more Detailed List will be found f age 33 Bulb Catalogue, 1885, 
The Lily is matchless amongst hardy plants for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It com- 
mences flowering in May, and maintains a continuous unbroken succession of bloom from species of different 
countries, till the frosts of autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds ; thus it is unequalled for its successional 
display, and is an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons, Paeonias, Double Pyrethrums, 
and Herbaceous plants.
