The Best Hardy Lilies 
These beautiful Lilies are quite hardy; plant them four or five inches deep and give them a light covering of 
leaves or litter before the ground is deeply frozen. They should not be disturbed but left to grow on from year to year. 
Most Lily Bulbs being of late maturity are not ready be¬ 
fore October and November (the best time to plant them).

SWEET 
LILY 
OF THE 
VALLEY 
Its beautiful sprays of lovely pure white 
bell-shaped flowers are always greatly ad¬ 
mired. It is perfectly hardy, does not object to 
shade and will do well iu any odd corner you hap¬ 
pen to have, but will of course give finer flowers and 
more of them when given good, well-prepared ground, 
and partial shade; they are entirely hardy and will increase 
in number and beauty from year to year. In house or conserv¬ 
atory a half dozen roots in a 4-inch pot, kept cool awhile and 
then given light and moisture, will soon produce an abundance of 
lovely fragrant flowers. Price, strong flowering roots, delivered free in 
U. S., 3 for 15c.; 12 for 50c.; 25 roots, 1 bundle, 75c.; 100 roots, 582.00. 
NOTE—LILY OF THE VALLEY is one of the most useful pure white flowers 
for Winter forcing and is grown in immense quantities in all the larger cities for the 
Holiday Trade. They last a long time when cut, and are particularly beautiful when 
colonized in large patches in partially shaded places about the lawn, and being entirely 
hardy, will mostly take care of themselves without much attention. (Ready in November.)
