HARDY PERENNIALS (continues) 
Price: 30c each, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100, except where noted 
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 fertilizer 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 leafmold 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 necessary during the Summer, with 
straw and leaves for Winter covering. 
Lilium Auratum (The Goldbanded Lily of Japan)—Flowering 
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 com- 
bination in the hardy border during the month of June.

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 Sum- 
mer garden. It is perfectly hardy and has no particular soil 
requirements. Plant 10 inches deep. Price: 75¢ each, $7.50
