SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS

JAPANESE LILIES 
Hardy lilies may be grown in any good garden soil but do best 
when planted in soil that has been well mixed with a liberal quantity 
of sand and leaf mold. When planting, a liberal quantity of sand 
should be put under each bulb to insure perfect drainage. During 
the winter months a top dressing of leaves will be found beneficial.

DOUBLE HERBACEOUS PAEONIES 
Double Paeonies are too well known to require description. Their 
popularity is due to the great improvement in them in recent years, 
their easy culture, the handsome appearance of the plant, and the 
brilliant and striking effect of their massive, finely formed and richly 
colored flowers. The attention given to them, in Europe and in 
America, has resulted in the production of many notably fine new 
varieties. Among hardy, herbaceous perennials, the Chinese Paeonies 
rank about first for lawn or flower border, or shrubbery decoration. 
Paeonies require a sunny location and should be planted in good 
rich soil, care being taken that the crowns are covered with not more 
than 2 inches of soil. If wanted by Parcel Post add postage;
