TStardy Lilies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, the romance of the far corners of the earth 
in which many of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild crannies of America 
to delight you with their different grace and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors that offer you the pleasure 
of “pointing with pride.” Growing some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoyment and satisfaction like that of 
collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Lilies are beginning to take their rightful place in American gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty but 
because of their challenge to the gardener’s originality and skill. As a group they are not the easiest flowers to grow; 
but in the past 20 years or so it has been demonstrated that they are not particularly difficult either—just enough so 
to stimulate gardening interest. And they pay you well in distinctive results, a steady parade of changing bloom from 
early June to late September. 
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 their culture, 
which will be sent to yow 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.

diately after planting. The bulbs are sent to you in November, 
and cannot be furnished at any other time.
