LILIES FOR AUTUMN AND SPRING PLANTING 
L. Candidum (Europe). The well known Madonna or Annunciation lily is the

planting is imperative, August and September being the proper months. 
The bulbs should -be covered with not more than 2 to 3 inches of soil. This 
lily is generally considered at its best in a well sweetened soil. We handle

flowering. Medium size bulbs, 25c each, $2.50 dozen. Large size bulbs, 
40c each, $4.00 dozen.

lily and one of the easiest to grow, The stems carry as many as twenty 
brilliant pure orange upright flowers lightly spotted with dark orange. Will 
do equally well in either full sun or partial shade, although the color of the 
flowers stands up better with some shading. The true form of L. Croceum is 
often confused with strong growing types of L. Umbellatum, which are 
sometimes substituted. We offer bulbs of the true type. Plant 4 to 5 inches
