LILIES — Two Gems from the Orient 



Hardy, Fragrant and Beautiful. The Finest Lilies Ever Discovered 



With the introduction of these two magnificent new varieties blooming in July and early August, it is now possible to have a 

 continuous display of bloom of lilies in the garden from early summer until frost. f$ Visitors at our Nursery during the flower- 

 ing period were astonished at the beauty of these stately plants and many returned bringing friends that they too might see 

 the remarkable fields of Lily blooms. <| A g rou P °f the variety, Myriophyllum, shown by us at the National Sweet Pea 

 Exhibition in Boston was pronounced by many to be the chief attraction at the show. 



LILIUM MYRIOPHYLLUM. Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector 



collected for us the bulbs now offered, in Northwestern China. He considers 



C >^ v _N ^S^maim^^^^ this 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 the 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 ex- 

 tending 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. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, and a first-class certificate by the Royal International Exhi- 

 <_ | JC -*M _ i -_ bition, London, 1912. Bulbs ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, #15.00. 



^ 'P^f \ ifFvV ^^df^ LILIUM SARGENTIAE. The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. 



^^> v H Af$- 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 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. Awarded a Silver Medal by the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society, 191 2. Bulbs ready in October, each $1.50; dozen, #15.00.
