LILIES 
Those listed here may be safely planted in the fall. They require early transplanting in order to make a strong root growth before 
cold weather comes. 
Planting—Outdoors. Lilies do better when partially protected and shaded, but allowing the flower stock to reach the sunlight. 
Plant the bulb in well-drained soil with the top of the bulb six to seven inches below the ground level. Fill in and firm with good 
garden soil. 
INDOOR CULTURE OF LILIES—In potting them be sure to provide enough drainage so that at no time will the plant get water 
logged. Any good garden soil may be used, and after the bulb is planted set away in a cool place. As soon as a number of roots show 
through, it may then be brought into the light. A cool place at first is best, after growth has started well the temperature may be increased.

band of golden yellow through petals, and the whole flower dot¬ 
ted with red and brown spots. Largest bulbs_Each 40c; Doz. $4.00
