RARE LILIES 



FROM CHINA 



Hardy, Beautiful, Fragrant. The Finest Novelties Extant 



Lilium myriophyllum 



AWARDED SILVER MEDAL BY MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. JULY 15. 1911. 



Ul II IM MVDinSUVI I I IRA Mr. E. II. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected 

 L.IVPITI l»ll RIUI n I LL.UIT9 i f ,, r us t i,e bulbs now offered, in North-western 

 China. He considers tbls the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has 

 been predicted that this will become the Easter Lily of tlie future, and being so hardy, may be grown at 

 home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at 

 the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one of the 

 jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July. 

 Orders looked now for October delivery. Bulbs each, $1.30: dozen, $13. Oil. 



The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. 

 This is one of Hie strongest growing lilies — 

 frequently attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary In number from live to ten on a 

 stalk, and In size and shape resembling I, ilium Ilarrisii, 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 for 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. 



Orders booked now for October delivery. Bulbs each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
