HARDY LILIES 
Most Lilies will succeed in any light, sandy or loamy 
soil if sufficiently enriched and properly drained. Decayed 
peat and leaf mold are often successfully mixed with the 
other soil. Well-rotted cow manure is best, thoroughly 
mixed in, followed in after years by top dressing. Fresh 
manure must be avoided. 
In garden planting the bulbs should be set no less than 
three times their own depth and mulched heavily after the 
first frosts come, for winter protection. In locating these 
plantings remember that Lilies object to frequent removal; 
they should be left undisturbed several years. We call 
attention to our Hardy Water Lilies.

WATER LILIES 
For the past few years we have supplied hardy Water 
Lilies for numerous pool owners in this section of the 
country. Orders should be placed a week or 10 days 
prior to the time that you desire to receive Lilies. All 
orders will be made after danger of frost is past. We 
generally have a few booklets on hand giving instructions 
on the proper methods of filling outdoor pools and tub 
gardens and we will be glad to send one upon request. 
The following Lilies have proven to be well adapted to our 
Montana climate: 
AURORA —Aurora well deserves its name, for its flowers 
run the gamut of sunset shades. Opening rosy yellow on 
the first day, they change to orange and finally on the 
third day to deep red. You will hardly believe the flowers 
belong to the same plant as they are cup-shaped at first, 
later the petals become spreading. The leaves are charm¬ 
ingly spotted with red and have a small spread. A splen¬ 
did tub garden plant. $1.25. 
SUNRISE —Easily the largest of all hardy Lilies with 
blossoms 11 inches across. Even as a young plant it sur¬ 
passes all others in size. The glorious yellow blossoms are 
raised on slender stems, the petals having a crepe-like 
texture and charming gracefulness quite unlike most gi¬ 
gantic flowers. Best of all is its long blooming season, 
lasting till late fall. $2.00 each. 
MARLIAC YELLOW —One of the most widely grown of all 
Water Lilies. Clear, rich yellow blossoms of large size 
with fine broad, curving petals. It produces over ihe 
entire spring and summer an endless succession of its 
charming flowers. It thrives under all conditions and :r> 
extremely hardy wherever grown. Its popularity is so 
great that we recommend it to everyone. $1.25. 
MARLIAC PINK —Beautiful, shell pink buds, handsome as 
they unfold. The blossoms are quite large, paler than the 
buds and quite sweetly fragrant. It comes into flower 
early in the spring and blooms tenaciously throughout 
the summer. It is particularly valuable as a cut bloom 
and is very popular with beginners for it grows so early. 
$1.25. 
MARLIAC WHITE —Snowy white broad petaled flowers 
with a center cluster of bright yellow stamens, Sepals 
lightly flushed with pink. The fragrant blossoms are 5 to 6 
inches in diameter and freely produced throughout the 
entire season. Thousands of these vigorous hardy roots are 
planted out in gardens every year and everyone admires 
their large, plentiful flowers. It is a variety of the wild 
white lily of Europe. $1.25.
