CARTERS LILIUM AURATUM. 
The beautiful Golden-rayed Lily of Japan. 
This grand Lily has now been brought to such a popular price 
that it should be largely grown in every garden. In soils suitable to 
its taste it will thrive in increased vigour each season in borders, 
and should be extensively cultivated in such spots. It can be seen 
in its full beauty in association with ornamental shrubs and bold- 
loaved herbaceous plants. It flowers rather later in summer than 
some of its relations. 
We have again made arrangements for large consignments of this 
beautiful Lily to reach us direct from the growers, and are certain to 
handle the pick of the Japanese harvest. 
All bulbs are carefully sorted by band, and are examined person- 
ally before despatch.

CARTERS LILIUM SPECIOSUM 
Next to the Lilium Auratum we must place the Lancifolium or 
Speciosum so exquisite in form and so easily cultivated. Specimens 
frequently may bo seen flowering on balconies in the large cities late 
in summer, and coming at a time of year when flowers arc somewhat 
scarce makes it doubly welcome. It thrives well out in the border, 
and. with its pure chaste white, orange, crimson-spotted, and rose- 
spotted flowers, is very attractive.

LILY OF THE VALLEY 
A crown is the description given to a single rootlet. They are 
generally sold in bundles of 25, and arc the best for pots and forcing. 
When throwing up blossoms grown in this maimer, they are most 
serviceable in a number of ways for decorative purposes. A clump 
is a largo conglomerated mass of roots that will throw up a quantity 
of flowering spikes, either forced or when planted out of doors, t lumps 
arc preferred for a permanent bed in the garden. 
If by parcel post add postage at zone rates-, weight of crown 2 lb. per 
bundle of 25, 6 lb. per 100; weight of clumps 5 lb. each.

RETARDED LILY OF THE VALLEY 
By availing ourselves of the modern method of cold storage we are 
enabled to supply forcing roots of this pretty decorative plant through- 
out the year. One advantage these retarded roots have over those 
handled in the ordinary way is the quick time in wine :h the d°w er | 
are produced. We have seen dormant crowns put into heat and 
brought into beautiful bloom within three weeks, but we recom- 
mend from four to five weeks as tho average time for a perfect flower 
spike.
