HARDY LILIES 
True Anristecrals 
Few bulbs give as much satis- 
faction in the flower garden for 
so small an investment. Lilies 
are usually set deep in the gar- 
den, below the level of peren- 
nial roots where they have the 
necessary cool soil in which to 
grow. There they may remain 
for years, increasing in size as 
time goes on. When planting 
be sure they have very good 
drainage so water will never stand about them; supply plenty of 
leaf mold and a generous amount of fertilizer well mixed with the 
soil. From then on all they need is an annual top dressing of humus. 
A most important requirement is to shade the roots and base of the 
stem from the hot sun. For this reason lilies are ideal garden plants 
since they may be planted in the mixed border, in the shade of trees 
and many other places that other bulbs would not tolerate with such 
We offer a few choice varieties of modern lilies.

ALL LARGE, TOP QUALITY BULBS 
Estate Lily. Similar to the well-known Croft lily, except that pure 
white flowers are borne on taller stems. Makes a far showier and 
satisfactory showing as a garden subject. 50c each, 12 for $5.00. 
Sunset Lily (Pardalinum giganteum). Pictured below is one of 
the most satisfactory of garden lilies. It makes a vigorous, oft2n 
‘“‘Ripley’’ size stem from 5 to 7 feet tall crowned with a grand dis- 
play of bright flowers; deep red and yellow near the center and 
heavily spotted with deep purple. Each 50c, 12 for $5.00. 
Regal Lily. Very handsome white lily from China but quite im- 
proved by cultivation from the original through scientific selection.

show a soft primrose yellow in the throat. Each stem, which av- 
erages 3 to 4 feet in height, bears several of these lovely flowers.

Tigrinum splendens. The late flowering Tiger Lily is one of the 
most popular of garden lilies and is very valuable for late season 
bloom. This is the improved large flowered form. Each 50c, 12 for
