LOCATE, 
“And thou dost seem, in white array'd 
Like many a pure and beauteous maid— 
One more sweet thing to know!” 
Goethe 
Lilies have been grown through the centuries in many lands for the esthetic pleasure derived from their grace and beauty. They have been 
praised in song and fable and the Bible contains many illusions to them. Today they are one of the most popular bulbous plants and are being 
grown in ever increasing numbers. 
Most of the Lilies we offer are easily grown if certain simple requirements are met. In general tney like a deep rich loam with perfect drainage. 
IF there is any question about the latter, the beds may be raised two or three inches or the bulbs placed in individual pockets of sand. To keep 
the hot sun from baking the soil over them, lightly rooting ground covers are essential. 
Lilies mature so late in tne season that delivery may be delayed until late Autumn. As late planting is preferable to spring planting for most 
- varieties, the ground should be protected against freezing by mulching deeply with leaves or other material. A bucket of dry soil stored inside 
for covering them is a convenience. In no case, should the bulbs remain long unplanted. 
Lilies are not seen at their best until they have become established in their permanent locations and therefore do not always do justice to 
themselves the first year after planting. 
Full Cultural Directions are sent with each order. 
Base rooting kinds are marked B, and stem rooting S with depth in inches to plant immediately following. Month of blooming is indicated. 
All bulbs are strong flowering size except that a few are jumbos and the size of those are noted in centimeters.
