GRAND MERE NURSERIES, 
LILIES 
, N< £x£^ den colle ction can be complete without the Lily prominently establish- 
ed. With no extraordinary care lilies will thrive co-equal with the. hardiest 
garden plants, and by arranging a judicious assortment of varieties a continu- 
ous succession of flowers may be had from May until November. 
AURATTJM (Gold-banded Japan Idly.) — Considered by many the finest of all 
hardy Lilies. Flowers very large, made up of broad white petals, thickly 
studded crimson, maroon and a bright golden band through the center of each 
petal. As the bulbs acquire age and strength the flowers attain their maximum 
size and number. Stalks from good sized bulbs frequently have from 12 to 15 
flowers. Extra large bulbs, 35c. each, 4 for $1.00. 
LONGIFLORUltt. — A beautiful well known variety, with snow-white, trum- 
pet-shaped flowers that are very fragrant. Blooms in June and July. Extra 
size, 25c. each, $2.00 per dozen. 
TIGRINUM SPLENDENS (Improved Tiger Lily.) — A magnificent form of 
the Tigers, bearing large pyramids of orange red flowers with black spots, on 
polished black stems of great length. 15c. each. 
PEONIES 
That Herbaceous Peonies are as fine and effective in their way as Rhodod- 
dendrons or Roses is now being: generally recognized. Thev are hardier and 
more easily cultivated than either of their rivals, and are being used in the 
same way for bold display of color. Their flowers are very lasting; some of 
them are finely finished and splendidly colored. Plant in deep rich, well-pre- 
pared soil, covering the buds but an inch or two. Do not expect too much of 
them the first year, as they are a little slow in establishing themselves. 
AO-ISA. — Deep crimson-maroon; full, double flower. 
DORCHESTDB. (Pink.), — One of the latest to bloom. Decidedly dwarf, com- 
pact grower; flower very full and double, in color about the shade of Da Prance 
Rose. 50 cents. 
DUKE OP WELLINGTON. — Creamy-white bleaching to pure white. Very 
large and double. 
PRSTTVIA MAXIMA. — About the largest and undoubtedly the most popular 
Peony of them all. Flowers borne on long stiff stems; the purest white, 
inner petals slightly tipped carmine. Early. 60c. 
OEFICTNALIS RUBRA, (PL. PL.) — Rich deep crimson; very early, and one 
of the best of the dark colored varieties.
