HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
This list of dependable Lilies embraces stock of my own growing, and all will be 
freshly dug at time of delivery. This eliminates one common source of failure, because 
imported or stored bulbs lose part of their vitality from remaining out of the ground for 
a long period. 
Moreover, I list only those of rather easy 
culture, omitting finicky subjects, but re¬ 
taining an excellent variety. Having large 
stocks I offer inducements on quantity or¬ 
ders, and our grading and count will be lib¬ 
eral on all orders. 
Fall delivery only. Because of my posi¬ 
tion to make all deliveries early, most kinds 
in August and September, I recommend fall 
planting and keep no bulbs in storage over 
winter.

COLORADO HARDY CACTI 
A Desert Garden of Cactus, Yuccas and some of the flowering plants and bulbs, can 
be made a unique feature of the dry rockery and will yield a large return of satisfaction 
for the little care required. 
These plants are hardy to the lowest gar¬ 
den temperatures, enduring safely 20 de¬ 
grees below zero. The precaution to be ob¬ 
served by eastern gardeners is the avoid¬ 
ance of excessive moisture during winter. 
A raised rockery or elevation of the bed to 
insure free and quick drainage will best 
take care of this, and it will make it easy 
to dry-off the plants gradually in late sum¬ 
mer so that they will approach winter in a 
fully ripened and somewhat shrunken con¬ 
dition, thereby insuring a profusion of 
bloom the following season. This is quite 
imperative. If cacti are kept plump aad ac¬ 
tive too late in the season, it impairs their 
resistance to winter inclemency. 
Contrary to a prevailing belief, the soil 
for cacti should be fertile, and rather rich 
in humus, but may be overspread with sand 
or fine gravel. The sandy texture of the or¬ 
dinary rock garden mixture is suitable. It 
is permissible also to have the soil well 
moistened occasionally during the growing 
season. 
Our stock is in nursery beds under per¬ 
fect growing conditions. These freshly lift¬ 
ed specimens, carefully packed for delivery.
