HARDY GARDEN 
LILIES 
Garden enthusiasts are now tak¬ 
ing literally the admonition to “Con¬ 
sider the Lilies.” The beauty and 
variety of the Lilies is being more and more appreciated. 
Today, a garden without Lilies is much like a garden 
without Roses; unthinkable. 
Give these lovely Lilies a place in your garden, a 
sunny spot where they can grow undisturbed. They will 
delight you for many years to come. We knew of no 
flowers which ask less and give more. It pays to buy 
the best obtainable bulbs, such as are listed here. 
We effer POTTED LILIES, because they 
are easier to handle, with less chance of loss, and 
they may be planted at any time during the season 
without injury to the plant. In most cases, this is 
cf great convenience.
