BARR’S BEAUTIFUL LILIES, 
For Naturalising in Flower and Shrubbery Borders, and for 
Greenhouse Decoration. 
For chasteness and beauty of colour and form, the Lily stands pre-eminent amongst hardy plants, 
and by a judicious selection of species a continuous display of bloom can be maintained in the flower garden 
or greenhouse from May to October. In the flower or shrubbery border they are most effective when 
planted in bold groups, while isolated clumps on lawns of the taller-growing Lilies produce a fine effect. 
General Hints on Culture. 
Lilies planted out-doors. — The conditions essential to success in growing Lilies may be generally 
summarised thus A cool rooting medium; Perfect drainage; and Shade from hot sun. 
These conditions can be readily fulfilled in the borders of Rhododendron and Azalea beds, or amongst the 
various subjects grown in the herbaceous and shrubbery border. In such positions the young Spring growths 
are protected from cold winds, and the ground is kept shaded and cool by the shade of the surrounding 
plants. This is especially needful in the case of those Lilies which make stem roots, as these are only 
developed freely in shade. On these roots, which are produced at the base of the stem, the flower-head 
largely depends for its successful development, and the bulb for its preservation. As soon as they appear 
a light covering of good rich soil should be given, into which they can root freely. The chief stem-rooting 
Lilies in the following list are marked thus r . There are others which are less dependent on these 
stem roots, which they only produce when the bulbs are planted on rich soil and in shade.
