HARDY LILIES 
Most Lilies will succeed in any light, sandy or 
loamy soil if sufficiently enriched and properly 
drained. Decayed peat and leaf mold are often suc¬ 
cessfully mixed with the other soil. Well-rotted 
cow manure is best, thoroughly mixed and followed 
in after years by top dressing. Fresh manure must 
be avoided. 
In garden planting, the bulbs should be set no 
less than three times their own depth and mulched 
heavily after the first frosts come, for winter pro¬ 
tection. In locating these plantings remember that 
Lilies object to frequent removal; they should be 
left undisturbed several years. Prices include de¬ 
livery to you. 
AURATUM (Gold-Banded Japan Lily)— This va 
riety has ever been a great favorite. The flower 
heads are large, with broad petals gracefully re¬ 
curved. White, thickly studded crimson-maroon, 
with a wide gold band down the center of each 
petal. Blooms July-August. First size, each 30c; 
3 for 75c. 
HENRYI (Yellow Speciosum) —One of the finest 
hardy Lilies, of strong, vigorous growth, with flower 
stalks 3 to 5 feet long; deep apricot-yellow, lightly 
spotted brown. August-September. Each 50c; 3 
for $1.40. 
THE REGAL LILY —In rich soil, the flower stalks 
attain 4 to 5 feet, densely covered with good lance¬ 
olate foliage, crowned with varying clusters of very 
large, long tubed, wide mouthed Lilies. Although 
immaculately white, the outer surface of the flower 
is streaked with a delightful strain of coral-pink; 
the deep throat being heavily gilded. The perfume 
is exquisite. June-July. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM MAGNIFICUM— This is one 
of the joys of August; ruby spots informally dis¬ 
tributed over a broad expanse of white. 8 to 9 
inches. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00. 
CORAL LILY —A flashy little midsummer Lily, 
great for mass effect, good in rockeries, often potted. 
The flowers are tiny 2-inch balls, but so numerous 
and so intensely scarlet they shame the larger reds. 
Slender stems 1 to 2 feet high, with fine cut ferny 
foliage. Each 25c; 3 for 70c. 
LONGIFLORUM —Hardy Easter Lily. Three feet 
tall. Blooming in June. Color white. Each 35c; 
3 for $1.00. 
LILIUM CANDIDUM (Thick Petaled)— Our Lilium 
Candidum are the thick, broad-petaled Paris-gown 
type so superior to the narrow-petaled south-of- 
France stock. The bulbs are plump, heavy and 
healthy. Color white.- Each 35c; 3 for $1.00.
