FARQUHAR’S 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 
all lies. It is absolutely hardy, and is ex- 
cellent 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 beau- 
tiful shade of canary yellow at the centre, 
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 Horti- 
cultural Society, and a first-class certificate 
by the Royal International Exhibition, 
London, 1912. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 
Lilium Myriophyllum. 
Lilium Sargentiae. The bulbs offered were also col- 
lected 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 ona stalk, and in size and shape resemble Lilium 
Harrisii; greenish white, shaded purple on the outside, 
and of thepurest 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 plant- 
ing 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 Gold Medal by the 
Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1913. 
$1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 
Was awarded a GOLD MEDAL at the International 
Flower Show, New York, 1913, for the Best New 
Plant on Exhibition. Lilium Sargentie.
