These wonderfully lovely lilies with their delightfully fragrant, pure white flowers 
are universal favorites everywhere, and invaluable for the garden. 
Their flowering season (June 20th to July 10th) is approximately the same as Del¬ 
phiniums, and grouped with these, create one of the prettiest pictures imaginable. 
Plant in groups of several bulbs, about four inches below the surface to top of bulb, 
(lay bulb on side) in soil that is well drained. Planting early is desirable in order that 
they make considerable root growth before cold weather comes. A covering of four to 
six inches of marsh hay or leaves before severe cold weather sets in is recommended. 
‘ AMERICAN-GROWN BULBS 
We have always considered the American home-grown Madonna Lily bulbs superior 
to those imported, but because of their scarcity have never been able to secure enough 
to supply the demand. Because of the war no French-grown bulbs will be available this 
I year, but we have been fortunate in securing some very choice home-grown bulbs, but 
in a limited quantity, however, that we offer here.

VARIOUS LILIES 
Madonna Lily 
Many of these Lilies are not ready until late in fall, and for garden planting it is suggested that ground in which they are to be planted be 
given a covering to prevent the soil from freezing too hard. The bulbs may then be planted much later, and the covering replaced.
