The Finest Novelties Extant 



LILIUM SARGENTIAE 



LILIUM SARGENTIAE. This noble variety was also collected by Mr. Wilson. This is one of the strongest 

 growing lilies — frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a 

 stalk, and in size and shape resembling Lilium Harrisii. greenish white, shaded purple on the outside, and of the 

 purest white within, with a tint of citron in the centre. The flowers have a pleasing fragrance. This lily will 

 undoubtedly be largely used tor outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many consider it the finest of all tubular- 

 flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum and being of larger growth, has a distinct 

 place. Awarded a Silver iledal by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1912, and a Gold Medal August, 1913. 

 Bulbs, ready in October,- each $1.50; dozen, $15.00
