Hardy Siltes for 
Lilies, unlike Narcissus 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

the bloom. In the coloring, too, is much variation, ranging from nearly

Lily, buy this one.

MISS PRESTON’S HYBRID LILIES FROM CANADA 
We are indebted to Miss Isabelle Preston, expert in Ornamental Horti- 
culture at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Ontario, for several of 
the finest hybrid Lilies in cultivation. Exceptionally outstanding are those 
resulting from crossing Lilium Willmottiae with a Lilium Dauricum Seedling. 
They are vigorous and hardy, with strong, upright stems, luxuriant foliage 
and large brilliantly colored flowers, reflexed and facing outwards.
