Lilies, unlike Tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one-locality under 
one and the some conditions, but ore gathered together from many 
foreign countries. All ripen at different times of the year; there¬ 
fore, orders for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The re¬ 
quirements of Lilies vary with each variety. We have a booklet on 
their culture, which will be sent to you upon receipt of 25c.

without charge any damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing 
from you.
