Hardy Lilies for the (garden 
Lilies, unlike tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under one and the same conditions, but are 
gathered together from many foreign countries. All ripen at different times of the year; therefore, orders 
for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The requirements of Lilies vary with each variety. We have 
a booklet on their culture, which will be sent to you upon receipt of 25 cents. 
Because of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of many planters, we do not guarantee Lilies to 
grow. We do, however, guarantee to supply you bulbs in good condition and will replace, without charge, 
any damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing from you.
