achieved the ultimate in serene beauty. Even a few, from various parts of the

For lily-bed ground covers see page 18. Common names are supplied for all 
species for the first time in any American catalog. Do you approve? Cultural 
directions with all orders. 
Lily Bulbs. Our Lily bulbs, unlike most on the market, were started entirely 
from seed, so as to keep our stock, and your gardens, free from the dreaded 
mosiac disease that causes Lily plantings to be short lived. Bulb sizes: L= 
Large; M==Medium—both usually flower the first year. Bulbs not available 
of all species this year. More bulbs and more species next year. Shipped Sep- 
tember to December. Bulb size varies greatly with species. 
Lily Seeds. The real way to enjoy Lilies and to do so with a minimum of ex- 
pense is to grow them from seed. The many kinds starred (*) are quick and 
easy to germinate; others are slower. Details given in directions supplied with 
all Lily seed. Available the year around.
