whe olily Galleon 
Lilies are indispensable to the garden and these are the ones which are 
hardiest and easiest grown. Many bloom in July and August, a boon to the 
border at that poor period of bloom. There are two general rules about 
growing lilies. The first: get them in the ground immediately. We deliver 
them in top condition—moist and healthy. Plant the day you receive them. 
The second rule: plant them on their sides in well-drained locations. If there 
is any doubt about drainage put a four-inch layer of coarse sand or fine 
gravel underneath them. Proper planting depth is given for each variety 
and should be followed carefully. We offer only giant bulbs.

THE MID-CENTURY HYBRIDS 
An entirely new group of hybrids developed by Jan de

They are the hardiest Lilies we ever saw and they propa- 
gate like minks.
