Hardy Garden Lilies 
All hardy borders should have some of the various kinds of Lilies scattered through them. Here they do their best, as they get the 
benefit of the shade of the near-by plants which is so necessary for successful growing. Plant these Lilies in the early spring, as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground, and allow a foot of space between them. Follow directions as to the depth each kind should be planted. 
Six bulbs at the dozen rate, 25 bulbs at the 100 rate 
Auratum. This Lily is sometimes called the Gold-banded Lily of 
Japan. It is one of the finest of all Lilies, with its large, graceful,

chocolate-crimson and striped through the center with golden 
yellow. Grows 3 to 5 feet high and blooms from July to September. 
Stem-rooting; plant 10 inches deep. Extra-large, strong bulbs, 
30c each; $3.25 for 12; $25 per 100.

July. Bulbs will thrive in sunny garden borders or in half shade. 
30c each; $3.25 for 12; $25 per 100. 
Elegans atrosanguineum. A very hardy, low-growing Lily, par¬ 
ticularly adapted to the rock-garden and for growing in front of 
taller perennials. The large, erect, dark red flowers, with deep 
crimson centers, are borne profusely on 1-foot stems in June and 
July. Plant 6 inches deep. 23c each; $2.45 for 12; $17 per 100.

hardy, healthy grower and one of the finest for the garden. The

yellow, lightly spotted with brown. Stem-rooting; plant 10 inches

Regale. A hardy Lily with waxy white petals striped with pink and a 
lemon-yellow throat. The trumpet is about 6 inches long, and 
when the flower is fully developed it is about 7 inches across. The 
bloom, when cut or if left on the plant, possesses wonderful keeping 
qualities. It has a delightful perfume, somewhat resembling the

30 flowers. May be grown as a wild flower in any swampy or rough 
part of a place where the grass is not mown. Plant 5 inches deep.

Speciosum album. This large, white Japanese Lily, with a greenish

wonderful advantage. Stem-rooting; plant 8 inches deep. Very 
large, strong bulbs, 35c each; $3.50 for 12; $27.50 per 100.
