FRESHLY DUG AMERICAN LILIES 
ORDER EARLY. Many kinds always run 
short at the end of the season, besides if 
. crders are on hand when bulbs are dug, 
they can be shipped immediately in a 
fresh condition. 
NOTE DELIVERY MONTHS: Different 
species ripen at different times and it is 
best to ship them well ripened rather than 
to plant green bulbs.. This may require 
purchasers in the North to cover their 
beds to prevent freezing, on the real late 
kinds. Lilies root even when the ground is 
frozen.
