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 enor¬ 
mous 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. Fragrance 
is strong and very pleasant, per¬ 
vading 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 11 in. circum. 
60 cts. each; $6 per doz.; $45 per 100. 
Lilium auratum platyphyllum.

moth bulbs, $6 per doz.; $45 per 100. 
Lilium Batemanniae. The cup¬ 
shaped flowers are soft pinkish apricot. 
They come in clusters of two or three, 
held erect upon a stem about 3 feet 
high. It is a stem-rooting Lily and 
should be planted deep in a location 
where the tops may reach the sunlight. 
Blooms in July and August. Strong 
bulbs, $6 per doz.; $45 per 100.
