Lilies, unlike Tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under 
one and the same conditions, but are gathered together from many 
foreign countries. All ripen off at different times of the year; there¬ 
fore, orders for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The re¬ 
quirements of Lilies vary with each variety. We have a booklet on 
their culture, which will be sent to you upon receipt of 25c. 
Because of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of many 
planters, we do not guarantee Lilies to grow. We do, however, 
guarantee to supply you bulbs in good condition and will replace 
without charge, any damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing from 
you.
