Hardy Garden 
LILIES 
ALL POSTPAID 
STANDARD LILIES 
Stately Lilies are of the easiest culture, and the 
varieties listed below are all perfectly hardy. After 
once being planted, they will increase in beauty and 
size with each succeeding year. Lilies do best in a 
well drained sandy soil, which should be fairly rich, 
and the plants should be given plenty of water dur- 
ing periods of drought. In order to grow lilies to 
large size, the bulbs should be planted deeply, 6 
inches or more, and the soil stirred to double the 
depth of planting.

GLADIOLUS 
MORE POPULAR THAN EVER—AIl Postpaid 
The Gladiolus are the most attractive and useful 
cut flower of all the summer flowering bulbs. The 
long, graceful spikes that carry fifteen to twenty 
buds may be cut soon as the first flower buds show 
color: then, if kept in water each successive bud 
will develop and thus prolong the blooming many 
days. 
The planting season starts in April, and continues 
until in June, at intervals of two weeks; you thus 
have flowers from late July until frost time. Best 
results are obtained in a sunny position and placing 
the bulbs fully 6 inches deep. Water freely. 
A very complete Cultural Leaflet on Gladiolus 
free with orders upon request. To eliminate aphis 
and thrip treat with Semesan, Lysol or Corrosive 
Sublimate, and store with Naphthalene Flakes. 
Gladiolus bulbs are usually ready in March, 
and through April and May into June. 
Our stock has all been treated once by the 
bulb grower before being shipped to us.
