LILIUM candidum (Madonna Lily) 
Differing from other Lilies, it is best 
planted in September. Since it is a base- 
rooting Lily, it need not be planted as deep as 
the stem-rooting kinds. The bulbs should be 
covered with 2 to 3 imches of soil. When 
planting, place a few handfuls of sand under- 
neath each bulb. The bulbs will make 6 or 
8 inches of top growth in the fall. After the 
ground is frozen, cover the tops with salt 
hay. Jumbo bulbs, 75c each, $8.00 per doz. 
Regular size, 40c each, $4.50 per doz. 


HARDY 
GARDEN LILIES 
LILIUM auratum (The Gold- 
Banded Lily). In congenial sur- 
roundings it blooms abundantly 
on 4 to 5-foot stems in August and 
early September. Set the bulbs 
9 to 10 inches deep. Very fra- 
grant. Jumbo bulbs, $1.00 each, 
$10.00 per doz. 
LILIUM regale (Regal Lily). White 
with the outside of the blooms 
shaded purple. Plant in October 
and November. Blooms in July. 
Grows 4 feet high. Plant bulbs 
6 inches deep. Jumbo bulbs, 40c 
each, $4.50 per doz. 
LILIUM speciosum magnificum. 
Pink blooms spotted with crimson, 
resembling an orchid. Grows 5 
feet tall; blooms in August and 
September. Since Speciosum is a 
stem-rooting Lily, it should be 
planted 8 to 9 inches deep, with 
a few handfuls of sand under- 
neath each bulb. For striking 
effects plant m groups of three to 
five with masses of white phlox. 
65c each, $6.95 per doz. 
SPECIAL NOTE on L. auratum 
and L. speciosum: Since Lilium 
auratum and L. speciosum do not 
arrive until late November or early 
December, we suggest that you dig 
the holes for these Lilies in advance, 
before the soil freezes. Fill the holes 
with salt hay. When the Lilies are 
delivered, you will not be confronted 
with the planting problem should 
the ground be frozen.

HYACINTHS | 
Blooms Late poprl 
RICH IN FRAGRANCE 
Hyacinth bulbs should be spaced 10 
inches apart and planted 5 to 6 inches deep. 
Ideal for the formal garden, they also can 
be planted informally in groups in the 
perennial border or in the foreground of 
the shrub border. They will scent the spring 
garden as no other early-flowering plant 
can do.
