SIBERIAN IRIS 
*Sibirica, Variety Orientalis—These are grassy-leaved Irises retain- 
ing lovely flowering foliage throughout the season and blooming just 
at the close of the bearded Iris season. The delicately poised blos- 
soms are attractive and valuable both for cutting and garden decora- 
tion. White. Shades of Blue. Price: 25¢c per plant, $2.50 per 
dozen. 
LAVANDULA (Sweet Lavender) 
*Lavandula Vera—Sometimes called Spica or Officinalis, a shrub at- 
taining a height of about 3 feet, producing lavender flowers later 
in the season, mostly grown for its fragrance or drying for Winter 
use. It is extensively used for rock gardens or as a border. 
LILIES (Cultural Notes) 
Most Lily bulbs may be planted in the Spring or Fall. The most im- 
portant factor in growing Lilies is that they should have good drain- 
age. 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 Candidum (Ascension or Madonna Lily)—This is the Lily 
grown in all old-fashioned gardens; five to eight pure-white flowers,

beautiful Lilies makes a charming combination in the hardy border

bulb, $15.00 per dozen. 
tLilium Henryi—Very similar to Speciosum except in coloring, 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 Summer garden. It is perfectly hardy 
and has no particular soil requirements. Plant 10 inches deep. Price: 
75c¢ each, $7.50 per dozen. 
tRegale or Myriophyllum—Flowers white, slightly suffused pink, with 
a beautiful shade of canary yellow at the center. Delightfully per- 
fumed, reminding one of the Jasmine. Blooms out of doors early in 
July. Absolutely hardy. Plant 8 inches deep. Price: Large size 75c 
each, $7.50 per dozen. 
tlilium Tigrinum (Simplex Splendens)—The well-known Tiger Lily

tSquarosa—long spikes of brilliant lavender blue flowers surrounding 
the stemlike small thistles. Flowering in July and August when this 
particular color is lacking in the garden. Attains a height of about 
three feet and an excellent cut-flower subject. 
tSquarosa Alba—Pure white form of the above. A most attractive 
spike of flower in the garden, and one that caused a great dea! of 
comment this past season.
