LILIES 
Lilies unlike Tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one locality 
under one and the same conditions, but are gathered to¬ 
gether from many foreign countries. All ripen off at different 
times of the year, therefore, orders for Lilies cannot always 
be filled at one time. The requirements of Lilies vary with 
each variety. We have a booklet on their culture, which will 
be sent to you upon receipt of 25c. 
Because of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of 
many planters, we do not guarantee Lilies to grow. We do, 
however, guarantee to supply you bulbs in good condition and 
will replace without charge, any damaged bulbs, immediately 
upon hearing from you.
