TWO RARE LILIES FROM CHINA. 
HARDY, BEAUTIFUL, FRAGRANT. 
THE FINEST NOVELTIES EXTANT. 
Lilium Myriophyllum. Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous 
plant collector, collected for us the bulbs now offered, 
in North-Western China. He considers this the finest of 
alllilies. 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 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. Awarded a Gold Medal by the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society, and a first-class certificate by the 
Royal International Exhibition, London, I912. Bulbs, 
ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 
Lilium Sargentiz. The bulbs offered were 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 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, 
1912. 
Bulbs, ready in October, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. Many of the late-flowering lilies 
cannot be shipped from Japan until October, and to save our 
customers the annoyance and expense of making shipments 
as they arrive, we have decided to send all the early varteties, 
approximately September 15-30. The late sorts, being 
subject to delays of steamers, etc., will be forwarded early 
in November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. Weadvise 
the preparation of the Lily- beds or borders early in autumn, 
covering them with four to six inches of leaves or other litter, 
Krameri, Henryi and Speciosum.

height 2 feet; superb sort. 
Concolor. Brilliant scarlet with black spots; 2 ft. 
Croceum. Bulbiferum. Orange spotted black 
Elegans. These vary in color from yellow to 
orange crimson, usually with black spots. From 
eight to twelve flowers are produced on each 
stem; height, about 2 feet. They bloom in 
June and July, are exceedingly hardy, and are 
most effective for grouping among shrubs and 
for naturalizing the woodlands. .
