LILIES. Lilies will thrive best in a dry, rich soil, where water will not stand in winter. After planting they require very little care, and should not be disturbed for years, as established plants bloom more freely than if taken up annually. In this list we offer only such varieties as can be safely sent in the spring. For other varieties see our Fall Catalogue. Auratum—(Gold-banded Japan Lily.) Considered by many the finest of all Hardy Lilies. Flowers very large, made up of broad white petals studded crimson maroon and a bright golden band through the center of each petal. As the bulbs acquire age and strength the flowers obtain th ir maximum size and number. Stalks from good sized bulbs frequently have from 12 to 15 flowers. 15c each, 8 for $1.00; extra large bulbs, 25c each, 5 for $1.00. Batemanniae—(Turk's Cap.) A Japanese Lily growing 3 to 4 feet high, producing bright apricot- tinted flowers; blooms in July. 20c. Longiflorum—A well-known beautiful variety, with snow-white trumpet-shaped flowers that are very fragrant. It is quite hardy and blooms freely in the open ground in June and July. Is also used largely for forcing for the Easter holidays; the flow- ers have more substance and last longer than the Bermuda Lily. First- class, 12c each; $1.25 per doz. Extra size, 25c each: $2.00 per doz. Speciosum Melpomone— Flowers good sized, satiny white, heavily spotted rich blood crimson. No other Lily blooms more freely or is more beautifully col- ored. 20c. Wallacei—Beautiful clear buff, spotted black. 15c. $1.50 per doz.
