OTHER SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS 
HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are so beautiful, so fragrant, we are 
ltkely to thmk them too fine for the amateur 
to grow. But many are hardy, thrifty flowers, 
capable of surviving conditions which would 
overcome flowers much less beautiful. Grow 
them in the border in small groups, with back- 
ground, where their beauty has a suitable setting 
for its display. They blossom, as a rule, in mid- 
summer, when fine flowers are at a premium. 
Outdoor Culture. When planting Lillies 
out-of-doors, see that they have a well-drained 
position, where they will be shaded from very 
hotsun. Such places can usually be found around 
the shrub borders, and in the hardy plant border. 
Never mix manure in the soil around Lilies, but 
enrich with S. & W. Co. Bulb Fertilizer or 
with bonemeal. Many varieties are termed 
“*stemrooters,”’ that is, they develop roots on the 
stem up to 2 or 3 inches from the ground. These 
roots are voracious feeders, and on them depend 
greatly the number and size of flowers. When 
they appear, the plant should receive a top- 
dressing of good rich soil on which they can 
feed freely. Spade over the ground thoroughly 
to a depth’of 18 inches before planting Lilies. Put 
some sand under and around the bulbs, and 
after covering protect with 6 to 8 inches of 
leaves or other litter. 
About Japanese Lilies. Notwithstanding 
some reports to the contrary, stocks of high- 
quality bulbs have been imported of the follow- 
ing Japanese Lilies in the past by us and there 
has been little disease in the stocks and they 
have bloomed very satisfactorily where properly 
treated. The varieties we list which usually 
come from Japan are Auratum, Auratum platy- 
phyllum, Elegans, Hansoni, Henryi, Krameri, 
Rubellum, Speciosum album, and Speciosum 
magnificum. At the time this Catalog is going 
to press It appears unlikely that Japanese bulbs 
will arrive this autumn. We are therefore obliged 
to offer these varieties subject to imports arriving. 
All other varieties offered are American-grown 
and are dependable.
