LILIES—HARDY GARDEN VARIETIES 
No garden is complete without its lilies. Those listed below are 
some of the hardiest and most easily grown. By following a few 
cultural hints they should be successfully grown in any garden. 
Many are easily forced and good for cutting. 
Auratum (Gold Banded Lily of Japan)—One of the handsomest 
but unfortunately is liable to be of short duration here. Its 
large fragrant blooms are white spotted brown with a golden 
yellow band running through each petal. Usually arrives from 
Japan with the Speciousum varieties too late for fall planting. 
Should be planted in early spring. Cover at least 6 in. deep, 
placing some sand and peat in the bottom of the trench. Well- 
drained soil. 4 ft. August and September. 35 cents each:
