LILIES 
Lilies are easily grown and require little care. 
They do best in a light, well-drained soil. Some 
peat or leaf-mold may be used to advantage. 
They also prefer partial shade, and the taller 
sorts must have protection from high winds. 
We prepay all lilies at prices given below: 
37400. Auratum (Gold-banded Lily). The grandest of all 
hardy Lilies. 3 to 6 feet high. Flowers white, spotted 
maroon, having a bright yellow band through the center

CANNAS 
Dwarf, Large-Flowering French 
Cannas at the following prices are delivered 
free. All Cannas 20c. each for single roots. 6 
at dozen rates. 50 at 100 rates. 
Cannas do well in almost any kind of soil,' but 
they well repay liberal treatment. For the best 
results they should be planted in good loam that 
has been well mixed with an abundant supply of 
well-rotted stable or other manure. The beds 
should be spaded 2 feet deep or more, and the 
soil well pulverized. Water should be applied 
abundantly at all times, but good drainage is 
essential. 
Cannas are most effective when planted in 
masses, either alone or in combination with salvia 
(scarlet sage) and bordered with coleus or other 
dwarf-growing bedding plants. They are also 
frequently used with some of the tall-growing 
ornamental grasses, with which striking combina- 
tions can often be secured. They do best in sunny 
situations, and should be set out about 2 feet 
apart each way.
