HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
Garden enthusiasts are now taking literally 
the admonition to “Consider the Lilies,” 
and the beauty and variety of this family 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 and they will delight you for 
many years to come. We know of no flowers 
whicli ask less and give more. It pays to 
buy the best bulbs obtainable. 
We offer 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.
