NEW FLORAL GUIDE, AUTUMN, 1917 
The Best Hardy Lilies 
These beautiful Lilies are 
quite hardy. Plant them 4 to 5 
inches deep, and give them a 
light covering of leaves or litter 
before the ground is deeply 
frozen. They ‘should be left to 
grow on from year to year. 
Most Lily bulbs, being of lat,e 
maturity, are rot ready before 
November and December—the 
best time to plant them. Prepare 
your ground early and cover to 
prevent freezing until bulbs 
arrive. Order now. 
“A garden is earth's hymn oj praise 
to Heaven, 
Sung every season in some changing 
tune. 
Where chords are colors, and where 
odors sweet 
Are tender symphonies
