HARDY LILIES 
In our list of Lilies you will find varieties of many colors, of 
varying heights and blooming time. It is possible to have 
Lilies blooming in your garden from late May until October. 
Lily bulbs are not ready to ship all at one time. Please note 
in the descriptions of each variety, CANDIDUM must be 
planted in early September while Auratum is not ready 
until late November or early December and may have to 
be planted the following spring. Our Lily Bulletin No. 5 gives 
planting instructions for these and other varieties. It will 
be sent with your order. 
AURATUM (Gold-banded Lily)—Large white bowl-shaped 
flowers are carried on stems 4 to 6 feet tall. Each of the six

white, ivory, cream and sulphur tones. We are very happy
