SUGGESTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE GROWING OF HARDY LILIES UNDER GLASS 
Hardy Lilies should be grown cool and given 16 to 18 weeks from time of planting to bring them into bloom, so the best results can be 
obtained; in fact, if you can give them longer to come into flower it is better. Where they are forced with plenty of heat, the result is that 
you get good foliage with not so many early blooms. We refer particularly to Magnificum, Melpomene, Rubrum, and Album. 

Lilium speciosum rubrum 
Hardy Lilies 
These are excellent for growing under glass as they force readily in a 
moderate temperature, as described above. Prices are for shipment up 
to May 1, and include all cold-storage charges. After this date an addt- 
tional 20 cents per case, per month, will be made for cold-storage and 
msurance charges.
