F. R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. HARDY LILIES.—The Gems of the Whole Family. These kinds succeed best, and are the most beautiful of this favorite flower. In planting the bulbs a great mistake is made in planting them too shallow; plant at least six inches deep. It is a good plan to put a handful of sand below and around the bulb.

It grows about two feet high, and produces from 6 to 12 flowers, white, flushed with pink, and spotted
