“Consider the Lily’ 15 
SO TTT 
t 
| Ears are considered by many to be the most beautiful and orna- 
mental of cultivated plants. Their stately habit and variously 
colored flowers, often very fragrant, make them almost indispensable 
for the hardy flower garden, as well as for growing in the greenhouse. 
Many of the native species may be effectively naturalized and prac- 
tically all are valuable for use in the mixed perennial border. Most of 
them will grow very well in pots, and by using several varieties, a 
succession of bloom may be had over a long period. 
It should be remembered that Lilies are primarily wild plants and they do not . 
lend themselves to formal bedding schemes. They are at their best in the open 
garden when grown with a protective ground cover planting or when located in 
shade for at least a portion of the day. They will do well in mixed perennial plant- 
ings, but be sure that the bulbs are not crowded by the roots of other plants.

For growing indoors 
We plan on handling the new American grown ‘‘Croft”’ strain of Easter Lilies. 
They force just as readily and in exactly the same way as the well-known 
“Giganteums.”’ The flowers, however, are much larger, and a bulb of any given 
size will produce more blooms than will a similar bulb of the older strains. The 
Croft Lilies are the finest Easter Lilies yet produced, regardless of origin, i perre
