Planting Depths: With the exception of L. TESTACEUM and L. 
CANDIDUM, which should not be covered with more than two inches 
of soil over their tips, no matter how large the bulbs, virtually all other 
varieties will do best if planted at a depth which is approximately twice 
the height from base to tip of the bulb. Thus, if the bulb measures 2”, 
it should be covered with 4” of soil. We believe that no bulb, whatever its 
size, should have more than 6” of covering soil, and even less where an 
all year ’round mulch is maintained. 
An ideal and inexpensive way to grow lilies is from seed. It results 
in vigorous stock, and in the case of hybrids (marked * in the lists 
above) you may get something new and perhaps valuable. Our seed 
is hand pollinated. Minimum orders for seed alone are $2.50. With each 
shipment of seed comes a leaflet prepared by the North American Lily 
Society telling how to grow them.—Which leads us to urge our customers 
to become members of the N.A.L.S. The Society’s Year Book, newsletters, 
round robins and seed exchange are extremely valuable. We will be glad 
to send you an application blank and sponsor your membership. 
We would draw our customers’ attention to the fact that unless they 
specify otherwise when ordering lily bulbs, we will substitute a nearly 
similar variety of equal or greater price where we are unable for any 
reason to supply the specific item requested; or if we are unable to supply 
the larger sizes of a desired variety, we will send two or more smaller 
bulbs for the same price. 
All lily bulbs are sent postpaid, but in view of high packaging and 
postal costs, on all orders under $2.50 remittance should include an addi- 
tional 50c. to cover handling. Where transportation is west of the Mis- 
sissippi, 50c. should be added to help defray postal charges. 
We offer the following valuable works on lilies: 
By three of America’s leading specialists—Dr. George L. Slate’s 
“Lilies for American Gardens,” $5.00; Jan de Graaff’s “The New Book 
of Lilies,” $8.50; Edgar L, Kline’s “Reference Chart of Lilies for Garden 
and Greenhouse,” $1.00. 
By international authorities—L. Tuffrey’s “Lilies are Easy,” $1.00; 
Woodcock & Stearn’s “Lilies of the World,” $8.25; Alice C. Maxwell’s 
“Lilies in Their Homes,” $3.50. Mrs. Maxwell’s book is very recent and 
has been described by G. H. Lawrence of the Bailey Hortorium as 
follows: “There is a freshness about this book that appeals, not only to 
the lily specialist but also to the novice—if after reading this book, the 
latter has no lilies in his garden, he will want some.”
