GARDEN LILIES 
Now that the hybridizers have turned their attention to lilies, things are happening 
which never before seemed possible. If you have had disappointing results with lilies 
in the past, we urge you to try some of the new ones. They have been bred not only 
for beauty, but for hardiness and resistance to disease. 
All of the lily bulbs offered below will bloom the first year they are planted. Some 
disbudding should be done however so that the bulb may become better established. 
It is advisable to dig and divide the bulbs every four or five years. Plant the Madon- 
nas only 2 to 3 inches below the soil surface; the others from 4 to 6 inches. 
Estate or Hardy Eee Lily.

like them they are hardy and can be grown

August. Plant them 6 to 8 inches deep. Be the 
first to have them in your garden.

Mystery Lily or Hall’s Amaryllis. 
MYSTERY LILY. (Hall’s Amaryllis) 
Shipped only until April 1 0th in the spring or in late October. 
Lycoris Halli. Called Mystery Lily because in 
mid-August the 3 ft. flower stalks seem to 
spring up overnight from bare soil. Actually 
these have been preceded by clumps of long 
narrow basal leaves which died down in early 
August. The slightly fragrant, lavender-rose, 
lily shaped blossoms are in clusters of 3 to 5 at 
the top of thick naked stems. Most effective if a 
ground cover is planted over them. 3 ft. 
Each 40c; 3 for $1.05; Doz. $4.00. 
FIRE KING.

A hybrid lily which has proved its worth since 
being introduced a few years ago. At the top of 
four foot stems as many as forty vermilion- 
scarlet blooms are held horizontally so that the 
effect is unbelievably striking. Petals on the 
florets are reflexed disclosing the purple speck- 
ling in the throats. Blooms in late June and 
early July. Easy to grow, Fire King multiplies 
rapidly. 4 ft.
