HARDY JAPAN LILIES 
No garden can be complete without a fair display of these stately 
flowers. Their graceful habits, their ability to adapt themselves to special 
locations, blooming almost the entire Summer, make them very valuable. 
Their culture is simple, yet a few rules must be strictly observed to grow 
them successfully. 
All Lilies should be planted from 6 to 8 inches deep, the Japanese 
varieties even 12 inches deep, the bulbs themselves should be completely 
enveloped in sand; no manure should come in contact with the bulb, 
but may be placed 4 to 6 inches underneath, all loose'petaled bulbs should 
be planted on their side instead of upright. 
Lilium Auratum (Golden'banded Lily from Japan). A variety planted 
most extensively; flowers of enormous size, measuring frequently 8 to 10 
inches across; pure white, spotted crimson; each petal is marked in the 
center with a band of yellow. Flowers in August, delightfully fragrant; 
a single stem produces on an average from eight to twelve flowers.
