BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1911. 
LI LI ES — continued. 
N.B. — For the interest of buyers we have added, after the name, the plant’s native country. 
05 Auratum (The White Golden-rayed Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), ht. 4 to 6 ft. This 
is indeed the Queen of Lilies, and should have a place in every garden and greenhouse. It com* 
mences to bloom in Augu.st and continues on into September. It is of simplest culture and perfectly 
hardy. Those who have beds or borders of Rhododendrons should plant this grand Lily freely 
amongst them for a succession of bloom. Growing amongst Pceonies, and along the margins of ever- 
greens, groups of L. auratum (6 to 12 bulbs in a clump, planted 9 inches apart), produce a grand 
effect. As isolated subjects on large lawns, groups of Lilium auratum look very handsome and 
stately. A situation should be chosen where the plants are sheltered from cutting winds and screened 
from the midday sun ; on slopes, in a free soil, moist but not wet, this Lily does well, and makes a 
fine effect. 
We are expecting our first consig^iment of this beautiful Lily to amve early in December fro m 
Japau^ and we are bookiitg orders for delivery immediately on an-ival^ at the followwg prices . 
The larger^sized bulbs produce the most Jlowc7‘s.
