MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
If Lily bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post, add 20c. per doz. for postage, to the first and second zones; for other 
zones, please see parcel post table on second cover page. 
Special Notice Regarding Delivery 
Most of the varieties listed below will arrive in time for Fall 
planting. It often happens, however, that some varieties reach us 
too late for Autumn planting. Orders for these will be held for 
early Spring delivery. When ordering, please specify if you desire 
for Fall or Spring delivery. 
It is advisable to prepare your lily bed in the early Autumn 
and cover with 3 or 4 inches of litter; this will prevent freezing and 
will permit safe planting of the late arrivals.

LILIUM PHILIPPINENSE FORMOSANUM 
We recommend this recent introduction as one of the finest 
acquisitions. It is a wonderful lily, producing large blooms of 
pure white, tinted with rose on the outside; the size and its form 
resemble the Easter lily, with a similar enhancing fragrance; 
It is a profuse bloomer and invaluable as a cut flower; perfectly 
hardy in cold climates, if given a mulch in the late Fall. 30c. each; 
doz., $2.50; $16.00 per 100.
