Lilium Auratum. 
The Beauty 
The Flower 
"PROM the earliest beginning of gar' 
■*- den literature, the Lily has been 
highly esteemed. It is the most priced 
of all flowers today. True, there are 
easier flowers to cultivate; but perhaps 
we appreciate it the more for that. Urn 
like the tulip or the narcissus, which any' 
one can grow, a perfect lily is rarely pro' 
duced by accident. It is a result of care 
and skill. It represents a triumph over 
conditions that most of our neighbors 
will not take the trouble to understand. 
Japanese Lilies 
Because of transportation difficulties, Japa' 
nese Lilies frequently do not arrive in time 
for fall planting, in which event we carefully 
pack them in sand and store them until 
spring, when they are distributed.
