LILIES 
That the Lily is the most stately and among the most beautiful of all flowers, and 
that it is deservedly one of the most popular was long ago an accepted fact. Its form, 
color, poise and fragrance make it a perfect flower. Whether growing in the garden 
or conservatory or window-garden it is equally admirable. Lilium Harrisii (The 
Bermuda Easter Lily) and Candidum (The Annunciation Lily) and Formosum arrive 
m this country and are on sale in August, but the other species of Lilies, such as 
Auratum. etc., commonly classed as hardy Lilies, do not reach this country until No¬ 
vember, and the ground should be ready for planting these outdoors at once, other¬ 
wise outside planting must be deferred until Spring. Nearly or quite all the hardy, as 
well as the more tender varieties of Lilies, may be forced into bloom indoors in pots.
