Lilies, unlike Tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under one and 
the same conditions, but are gathered together from many foreign countries. 
All ripen off at different times of the year; therefore, orders for Lilies can 
not always be filled at one time. The requirements of Lilies vary with each 
variety. We have a booklet on their culture, which will be sent to you upon 
receipt of 25 cents.
