HARDY LILY BULBS 
All hardy lilies should.be planted as early as ripened bulbs are available. 
Some kinds are not ready for transplanting until late fall when frost has hardened 
the ground. To overcome this difficulty we suggest covering the space to be planted 
with some material, hay or leaves, that will prevent the soil from hardening, and 
planting the bulbs immediately on arrival, covering well so as to allow roots to form 
before ground freezes. 
The bulbs can, however, be potted up when received and then transplanted 
to the garden in early spring. 
EASTER LILIES 
There are several types of these lilies grown, and in different locali- 
ties of our country, but there are three very outstanding and distinct 
strains that are far superior to any of those formerly imported. These 
Boece larger and firmer flowers, and are practically free from any 
isease. 
These lilies are not hardy enough for outdoor planting in our north- 
ern climate but invaluable for indoor culture as they require only the 
simplest attention, and flowers may be had during a long period by 
bringing them into the light and a warm room from time to time. 
Pot them in any good soil, but be sure that the pot has free drainage, 
a piece of broken clay pot and a little coarse sand will insure this. 
Dutch 
These splendid bulbous flowers have become exceedingly popular 
for garden planting in recent years by reason of the greatly reduced 
price of the bulbs of the better varieties, which allows them to be planted 
more generally. 
The exquisite orchid-like flowers come in blue and yellow shades, 
also white, and white with tints of yellow and blue, or both. 
Contrary to the common impression, that they are not hardy Dutch 
Iris will be found as hardy as daffodils or tulips. They require early 
planting along with most kinds of Narcissi, early covering to protect 
them from severe freezing, and given this, will produce a new and de- 
lightful display in the garden. 
Plant each variety or color in clusters of six er more, four to five 
inches deep in any good well drained garden soil, and in a sunny lo- 
cation. Mulch with leaves or marsh hay about the time that severe cold 
weather sets in. 
Dutch Iris may also be successfully grown indoors or forced in the 
greenhouse. 
After potting they should be watered thoroughly and put away in 
a cool, dark room or cellar for a period of six to eight weeks to allow 
roots to form. The time to bring them into a warmer room is when a@ 
number of the roots show through the soil on being tipped out of the pot.
