HARDY LILIES 
The Lilies offered below are among the best for spring planting. For a more 
extensive list, we refer to our Fall Bulb Catalogue, issued in August. Our list 
is confined to those varieties we know, from actual trials, do well, and the fol¬ 
lowing varieties will prove satisfactory if planted by June 1. 
Lilies do best in the hardy border or among shrubbery, for the reason that 
the flowering stems bear masses of roots immediately below the ground surface, 
and the shady situation helps these roots to better feed the plant; when through 
flowering, these roots help in the rehabilitation of the bulbs for another season. 
Any good garden soil with good drainage will do. In planting, cover bulbs at 
least twice their diameter except several varieties for which we recommend shal¬ 
low planting, and, if possible, spread 1 inch of sharp builders’ sand under the 
base, so that after the bulbs make basal roots the sand will provide drainage 
if water-logged in winter. When hard frost sets in, cover with 4 to 6 inches of 
leaves or litter which should be removed when spring arrives.

LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY 
For Outdoor Planting 
In the past, many garden enthusiasts have 
planted clumps of Lily-of-the-Valley in 
sheltered locations in their gardens. On ac¬ 
count of the ruling of the Federal Horticul¬ 
tural Board, these clumps, before leaving 
Europe, must have all soil removed from 
their roots. Our experience in the past is 
that clumps received with the soil removed 
are not satisfactory for outdoor planting. 
The best way to get a good Lily-of-the-Valley 
bed, and the method used by professional 
gardeners, is to plant two-year-old pips 4 
inches apart. This method will produce a 
better bed than by using clumps. We offer 
for this purpose pips of smaller size than 
those used for growing Lily-of-the-Valley 
indoors and at attractive prices. 10 pips 
75 cts., 25 pips $1.50, 100 pips $5, 250 pips 
$12, 500 pips $22.50, 1000 pips $40. 
For Greenhouse Growing 
In judging the price of our Lily-of-the- 
Valley, please remember that the best is the 
cheapest. Our Valley is positively among the 
best. Is bought at open prices, with instruc¬ 
tions for a selection of the best-developed 
pips. Our long experience and large importa¬ 
tions have commanded this extra selection. 
For growing indoors these pips are the best 
that can be planted. 25 pips $2.50, 100 pips 
$9, 250 pips $21, 500 pips $40, 1000 pips $75.
