Lilies for Spring 
Importation, 1937 
It must be clearly understood that these Lilies cannot be shipped with Tulips, 
etc. The only Lilies that can be harvested early enough to ship with the Tulips, 
etc., are Lilium Candidum (The Madonna Lily), and Lilium Excelsum, listed on 
page 33. The Lilies listed here cannot be harvested in time for Fall planting in 
October or November and so cannot be shipped in time for Fall planting in the 
United States. They will be shipped in the Spring of 1937, reaching New York 
about the beginning of April. An order for these Lilies must be handled separately 
from the Fall importation. Orders for these can be accepted up to March 1st, 1937, 
not later. 
There has been a very noticeable increase in interest in the cultivation of Lilies during 
the past few years. The varieties listed below comprise a selection suited to U.S. gardens. 
Do not let bulbs dry out. Lilies delight in a light, rich soil, a mixture of loam, leaf- 
mould and well-rotted cow manure. Plant about 4 or 5 inches deep, situation must be 
well drained. Protection from high winds when flowering is advisable.
