SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
57 
JAPANESE LILIES 
Hardy lilies may be grown in any good garden soil but do best 
when planted in soil that has been well mixed with a liberal quantity 
of sand and leaf mold. When planting, a liberal quantity of sand 
should be put under each bulb to insure perfect drainage. During 
the winter months a top dressing of leaves will be found beneficial.

DOUBLE HERBACEOUS PAEONlES 
Double Paeonie-i ute too well known to require description. Their 
popularity is due to the great improvement in them in recent years, 
their easy culture, the handsome appearance of the plant, and the 
brilliant and striking effect of their massive, finely formed and richly 
colored flowers. The attention given to them, in Ekirope and in 
America, has resulted in the production of many notably fine new 
varieties. Among hardy, herbaceous perennials, the Chinese Pennies 
rank about first for lawn or flower border, or shrubbery decoration.
