My dear Miss Clark: 
If you have not already mailed my catalogue, please 
send it to my New Hampshire address as I wish to order my 
lilies up there for next year. 
I often feel, as I walk in my garden with your glorious 
lilies nodding from every corner, that you are walking 
there, too. Many people tell me my garden is one of the 
loveliest small gardens they have ever seen, and that is 
because you have done so much, with your beautiful lilies, 
to help make it so. 
My garden is on four levels, supported by lovely gray 
stone walls and terraced beds, and has lovely clematis and 
coral honeysuckle carefully trained as a background among 
evergreens and marvelous oaks. So you see why people who 
walk down four flights of old gray stone steps, planted with 
fern and wild columbine, love the lilies that nod and bloom 
in such glorious profusion among delphinium. Miss Lingard 
phlox, phlox Columbia and Salmon Supreme, deep purple 
petunias, nepeta and snow white nicotine - yellow daylilies, 
and lavender funkia. 
You told me that I would love the "Sunset Lilies." 
They are just coming into bloom behind the Regals and are so 
lovely I hate to say goodbye to them. The Willmottiae were 
almost too tall, but next year they will be less tall. I 
love them very much among delphinium and white lilies. 
The Madonnas were lovely, of course, and my dear 
Concolors were admired so much. This is my first year for 
them and they did best where they came up among covering 
Nepeta rather than exposed. They looked like scarlet 
orchids. My beloved Tenufolium did magnificently this year, 
and I had one bouquet of them in an old black iron stove top 
that was ravishing. 
People say to me, "Where DO you get your lilies?" And 
I reply, "From a person who loves every bulb she grows and 
follows those bulbs to their new homes - from one of the 
best lily growers in America, Miss Julia Clark." And they 
write it down. I do hope they order from you. 
Very cordially yours, 
Margaret M. Cary. 
Mrs. C. Reed Cary, 
Mt. Airy, Philadelphia.
