ELLIOTT NURSERY CO., EVANS CITY, PENNSYLVANIA 
Of Garden 
O UR FRIEND, the lawyer, has a garden of Lilies. Many other 
things he has in his garden—great banks of Azaleas that are 
worth a long journey to see. Tulips, Daffodils, and Crocuses are 
everywhere in the spring, and glorious show of Japanese Irises in 
June is a sight not easily to be forgotten—but he has Lilies by the 
hundred and by the thousand, and in so many varieties that from 
June until November there is always a fine display of Lily Flowers 
Such a garden! By daylight it is splendid, by moonlight it is fairyland, 
and the air is filled with fragrance. Such a garden to visit, as we do 
visit it and travel forty miles a dozen times a year, and come away 
with our arms filled with great stalks of Lily Blooms. 
Delivery of Lilies 
Excepting for Candidum, which is ready in September, all Lilies are harvested 
late in the fall. American grown Lilies can usually be delivered in October, while 
European Lilies are usually ready in November. The Japanese Lilies frequently 
do not arrive in time for fall planting excepting in the South. Whenever any Lily 
arrives from abroad too late for fall planting in any district, the variety will be 
carefully repacked, placed in safe storage and delivered in the spring. Excepting 
for Candidum and Testaceum, all commercial Lilies may be planted in the 
spring.
