HARDY LILIES 
The Lilies offered below are among the best for spring planting. For a more 
extensive list, we refer to pur Fall Bulb Catalogue, issued in August. Our list 
is confined to those varieties we know, from actual trials, do well, and the fol¬ 
lowing varieties will prove satisfactory if planted by June 1. 
Lilies do best in the hardy border or among shrubbery, for the reason that 
the flowering stems bear masses of roots immediately below the ground surface, 
and the shady situation helps these roots to better feed the plant; when through 
Auratum. The Golden-rayed Lily of Japan. 
White flowers, studded with reddish brown 
spots, while through the center of each 
petal runs a golden band. Fully expanded, 
the flowers measure nearly a foot across, 
are produced abundantly from July to 
September, and are fragrant. 3 to 5 feet.

light, with a ground-cover. Stem-rooting, 
but need not be planted so deep as most.

Lily. A slender, erect Lily, 2 to 4 feet high, 
bearing, in late June and July, three to 
six nodding, brilliant scarlet flowers with 
sharply reflexed petals faintly dotted pur¬ 
ple and having scarlet anthers. Very showy 
and graceful. Likes dry, ordinary garden 
soil and full sunlight. Plant 5 inches deep 
and do not disturb it afterward. $1.50 each,

moderately deep planting. Blooms in July 
and August. Strong bulbs, 25 cts. each, 
$2.25 for 10, $20 per 100. 
flowering, these roots help in the rehabilitation of the bulbs for another season. 
Any good garden soil with good drainage will do. In planting, cover bulbs at 
least twice their diameter except several varieties for which we recommend shal¬ 
low planting, and, if possible, spread 1 inch of sharp builders’ sand under the 
base, so that after the bulbs make basal roots the sand will provide drainage 
if water-logged in winter. When hard frost sets in, cover with 4 to 6 inches of 
leaves or litter which should be removed when spring arrives. 
Speciosum album. The White Speciosum 
which is usually grown with Magnificum 
and Auratum, is a very dainty Lily. Flowers 
outside in the border or among rhododen¬ 
drons at the same time as Auratum and 
Magnificum. Each 10 100

Speciosum magnificum. Oriental Orchids. 
Words cannot describe the beauty of this 
variety. Frosted white, spotted, clouded 
and bordered with deep pinkish crimson. 
A much superior variety to the Roseum, 
Rubrum, or Melpomene of the Speciosum 
type. For the border, among hardy plants 
or naturalized among rhododendrons, this 
is an equal favorite with the handsome 
Lilium auratum offered above. Blooms out¬ 
side during August. Each 10 100
