Beautiful Hardy Lilies and Other Bulbs 
Lilies are easy to grow in any average garden soil. 
They require good drainage and will live for many 
years as they are hardy and permanent. The varie¬ 
ties which we list are particularly showy and vig¬ 
orous. It is important, however, that you follow the 
suggestions given as to the depth of planting to 
insure a fine display of flowers for many years to 
come. We offer sound, well graded bulbs of large 
blooming size, though some of the varieties have 
smaller bulbs than others. All are guaranteed to 
give satisfaction. 
72B26 Golden Banded Lily of 
Japan 
(.4 uratiim plalyphyllum) This is a great favorite of all 
gardeners. It is a wonderul variety, first found on 
sacred Mt. Fuji in Japan. It has large white flowers 
attractively splashed with bright crimson. The 
beauty of the flowers is enhanced by a broad golden 
band running through the midrib of each flower 
petal. It blooms from July until September and will 
grow from 3 to 6 ft. tall. Cover the bulb with 12 in. 
of fine soil. Does well in sun or in semi-shade. Needs 
perfect drainage and cannot stand manure or lime. 
Place the bulb upon a handful of sand and mix a 
little leaf mold with the soil used in covering the 
bulb. Delightfully fragrant. 40c each; 3 for $1.10; 
6 for $2.00.
