Majestic Hardy Lilies 
Lilium auratum platyphyllum 
(Golden Banded 
Lily of Japan) 
Lilies, from time immemorial, have been looked upon as the 
noblest of garden plants. The majestic habit of the plants, 
the exquisite form of the flowers, and the striking colors will al¬ 
ways make them favorites. Easy to grow in good, well-drained 
but slightly moist garden loam and, once established, will in¬ 
crease in beauty each year. Most all Lilies delight in a sunny 
location, but mulch so the hot sun does not reach the soil around 
the base of the plant. All varieties offered are highly decorative 
in the border, while the dwarfer ones also give a charming touch 
of beauty to the rock garden. As cut flowers, Lilies will keep 
for many days. Lily bulbs differ greatly in size, some 1 inch 
across, others 3 or more; we supply the sizes which will give 
the best results.
