A FEW FLOWERS 
The Best and Most Easily 
Grown 
Lilies. 
The Lily has long been celebrated for its rare and chaste beauty. No plants capable of being cultivated out of doors * 
possess so many charms; rich and varied in color, stately and handsome in habit, profuse in variety, and of delicious 
fragrance, they stand prominently out from all other hardy plants, and no herbaceous border, however select, should 
be without a few of its best sorts. With a well-selected collection, Liliums may be had in bloom from June to October. 
They should be planted in the fall from October I as long as the soil can be worked, and in spring as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground until the 15th of May, the earlier the better. If Lilies are to be sent by mail, add 
50 cents per dozen for postage. Lilies at prices per single bulb are sent free by mail.
