ender flowers later in the season, mostly grown for its 
fragrance or drying for Winter use. It is extensively 
used for rock gardens or as a border. 
LIATRIS (Blazing Star) 
Squarosa—Long spikes of brilliant lavender blue flowers 
surrounding the stem like small thistles. Flowering in 
July and August when this particular color is lacking in 
the garden. Attains a height of about three feet and an 
excellent cut-flower subject. Price: 50c per plant, $5.00

tractive spike of flower in the garden, and one that caused 
a great deal of comment this past season. Price: 50c per 
plant, $5.00 per dozen. 
Pycnostachya—Long narrow spikes of rich purple flowers. 
Rather an unusual growth, but splendid for cut flowers 
in July and August and also a fine variety for the border. 
Attains a height of about 4 feet. 
LILIES (Cultural Notes) 
Most Lily bulbs may be planted in the Spring or Fall. The 
most important factor in growing Lilies is that they 
should have good drainage. Manure or commercial fer¬ 
tilizer should never be allowed to come in direct contact 
with the bulbs, as this is often the cause of rotting or 
disease. In planting, dig the hole 6 inches deeper than the 
bulb is to be set and place some well decomposed leaf- 
mold in the bottom of the hole. Over this, place an inch 
or two of sand. The bulb is then placed on its side on the 
sand. A mulch of peat moss or leaf-mold is very neces¬ 
sary during the Summer, with straw and leaves for 
Winter covering. 
Lilium Auratum (The Goldbanded Lily of Japan)—Flower¬ 
ing in July and August. Large, pure white flowers with 
gold band and crimson spots, very fragrant. Does not like 
lime. Plant bulb 9 to 12 inches deep. Price: 50c each, 
$5.00 per dozen. 
Lilium Candidum (Ascension or Madonna Lily)—This is 
the Lily grown in all old-fashioned gardens; five to eight 
pure white flowers, borne on stems 3 to 4 feet high. 
Delphiniums grouped with these beautiful Lilies makes 
a charming combination in the hardy border during the 
month of June. Plant 3 inches deep. Price: 50c each, $5.00 
per dozen, $35.00 per 100.

Lilium Henryi—Very similar to Speciosum except in color¬ 
ing, which is a gorgeous orange yellow with a green 
stripe down the center of each petal. This Lily blooms in 
August and September, which makes it very valuable for 
the late Summer garden. It is perfectly hardy and has 
no particular soil requirements. Plant 10 inches deep.

Regale or Myriophyllum—Flowers white, slightly suffused

and very fragrant. A graceful stem, 3 to 4 feet high, 
carries from three to twelve beautiful blooms that open 
gradually, prolonging the blooming season. Plant 10 
inches deep. Price: 50c each, $5.00 per dozen. 
Lilium Tigrinum (Simplex Splendens)—The well known 
Tiger Lily that flourishes in all situations, is hardy and

ings against shrubbery. Blooms July and August. Plant

tiful show of color.
