LILIES (Cultural Notes) 
Most Lily bulbs may be planted in the Spring or Fall. The most 
important factor in growing Lilies is that they should have good 
drainage. Manure or commercial fertilizer should never be al¬ 
lowed to come in direct contact with the bulbs, as this is often 
the cause of rotting or disease. In planting, dig the hole 6 
inches deeper than the bulb is to be set and place some well 
decomposed leaf-mold in the bottom of the hole. Over this, 
place an inch or two of sand. The bulb is then placed on its 
side on the sand. A mulch of peat moss or leaf-mold is very 
necessary during the Summer, with straw and leaves for Winter 
covering. 
Lilium Auratum (The Goldbanded Lily of Japan) —Flower¬ 
ing in July and August. Large, pure white flowers with gold 
band and crimson spots, very fragrant. Does not like lime. 
Plant bulb 9 to 12 inches deep. Price: 50$ each, $5.00 per 
dozen. 
Lilium Candidum (Ascension or Madonna Lily)— This is 
the Lily grown in all old-fashioned gardens; five to eight pure 
white flowers, borne on stems 3 to 4 feet high. Delphiniums 
grouped with these beautiful Lilies makes a charming combina¬ 
tion in the hardy border during the month of June. Plant 3 
inches deep. Price: 50$ each, $5.00 per dozen, $35.00 
per 100. 
Six-inch pot plants for Spring planting outside. Delivery April 
1st. Price: 75$ each, $7.50 per dozen.
