Garden Lil ies 
Since the beginning of gardens, Lilies have been prized among the choicest plants. The family is so large, so diversified in shape and 
color of the flowers, so varied in their habit of growth, that truly Lilies may be chosen for any situation, and to accommodate any 
mood of the gardener. 
More than any other flower, perhaps, the Lilies are traditional. They have changed little or not at all in all the centuries they 
have dwelt within our gardens. Unlike the rose which has been the jolly, adaptable companion of men and children since the 
playtime of the world, the Lilies have kept aloof in austere reserve, wrapped in an immutable conservatism that is in itself a 
fascinating thing. 
In these days of hectic color, irregular and broken forms, it is a comfort and a stabilizing influence to turn again to the cool and 
classical beauty of the ancient, unchangeable Lilies, renewing the feeling of faith in the security of things that is so necessary to full 
and perfect living. 
LILIUM AURATUM (Golden-banded Lily of Japan). It grows 4 to 8 feet high, bearing clusters of enormous white, waxen, widespread 
flowers 8 to 10 inches across. Each petal is peppered with numerous dark red dots and has a band of golden yellow down the center. Fra¬ 
grance is strong and very pleasant, pervading the garden in the evening. The top of the stem must be in the sunlight all day, but the base 
should be buried in a deep mulch, or shaded by other plants. It is stem-rooting and should be planted 8 to 12 inches deep, depending upon 
the size of the bulb. It blooms in July and early August. 
Mammoth bulbs, 11 to 13 in. circum. 75 cts. each; $8 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
Extra-large bulbs, 9 to 1 1 in. circum. 60 cts. each; $6 per doz.; $45 per 100.
