LILIES 
Lilies are stately and most beautiful bulbous plants—producing large 
flowers of exquisite outline and varied coloring. They deserve to be 
more extensively grown in our gardens—being hardy even in cold loca¬ 
tions with protection, and usually surviving for many years. The 
plants and roots ripen and die off every year, leaving the bulb in a 
dormant condition during the Winter. Ideal locations arc in the shrub¬ 
bery or herbaceous border, where the roots are sheltered from the hot sun. 
Groups of 6 or more lilies of a kind, here and there, in such situations 
are most effective. Large isolated clumps or beds of the varieties 
Auratum, Henryi, Speciosum, Tigrinum, etc., are also very beautiful. 
The lilies marked * are “stem rooting,’’ that is they throw out a mass of 
roots from the base of the stem above the bulb, and in consequence 
should be planted deep, 6 to 8 inches below the surface in light soils, or 
4 to 5 inches below in heavy soils, in the latter case the bulbs should 
be surrounded by sand to facilitate drainage. L’lies not marked with 
a * produce few or no stem roots and need not be planted deeper than 
2 to 3 inches below the soil level.

ject. Price, SI. 10 postpaid.
