Garden Lilies (Lilium) 
No garden is fully planted without a gen¬ 
erous quota of Lilies, and where specially pre¬ 
pared beds are not available, they can be used 
to splendid advantage in combination with 
perennial groups, interspersing the late- 
flowering Lilies among earlv-flowering sub¬ 
jects such as Lupins, Oriental poppies, Can¬ 
terbury bells, and others that require a little 
bolstering after flowering, using the earlier- 
flowering Candidum and Regale among the 
late-flowering kinds, such as chrysanthemum, 
phlox, or in combination with delphiniums. 
The Lilies offered here are not difficult to 
grow, but should have a good rich, deep soil 
that is well drained. In preparing the soil, 
barnyard manure should be used only if thor¬ 
oughly decomposed. A winter mulch of this 
is also advised. 
Auratum. The Gold-handed Lily of Japan. 
The favorite among all of the Lilies, and 
the most impressive in every respect when 
it is in happy surroundings. Very large 
white flowers, spotted with deep crimson 
and marked with a distinct gold band 
through each petal. The height is apt to 
vary from 2J^ to 5 feet or even taller in 
rare instances. Plant in clusters, setting the 
bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep. 40 cts. each, $4 
per doz., $30 per 100; extra large, 50 cts. 
each, $5 per doz., $35 per 100. 
Auratum platyphyllum (macranthum). A 
stronger-growing Auratum. The stem is 
stouter and attains a greater height. Enor- I 
mous, broad-petaled, white flowers, richly 
spotted yellow. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz., 
$42 per i00; extra large, 75 cts. each, $7.50 
per doz., $52.50 per 100.

ing from 4 to 6 feet high. Does well in par¬ 
tial shade. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12
