LILIUM AURATUM,
THE GRANDEST OF ALL THE LILIES.
Producing its
Large, Delightfully Fragrant Flowers
in Abundance.
LILIES
are pre-eminently the grandest of all hardy bulb-
ous plants. What can exceed in beauty and de-
licious fragrance the large, symmetrical flowers
of Auratum, or the smaller but scarcely less
beautiful ones of Rubrum or Roseum, and
the spotlessly pure white blossoms of Longi-
florum and Harrisi, or of that old favorite,
produced in such profusion, Candidum?
All of the species named are perfectly
hardy. L. Candidum should be planted in
September or early in October, in deep, rich
sandy soil, covering the bulbs about 3 inches.
The Japanese sorts should be planted in Novem-
ber, covering the bulbs about 9 inches. Should
the winter prove severe, protect the bulbs with
a light covering of straw or.Iong manure, to be
removed early in the spring.
Auratum.
(Golden Banded Lily.)
The flowers are pure white, with a gold band
through the center of each petal, and beautifully-
spotted, chocolate crimson, continuing in bloom
from June to October, and delightfully fragrant.
