 Crold Medal, Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 

 Gold Medal, National Flower Show, New York. 

 Gold Medal, Royal International Exhibition, 

 London, 1913. 



Lilium Myriophyllum or Regale. The Regal Lily. 



Mr. E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collector, collected for us 

 in North-Western China, the bulbs now offered. He considers 

 this the finest of all lihes. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent 

 for forcing. It has been predicted that this will become the 

 Ea-ster Lily of the future, and being so hardy, may be grown 

 at home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink, 

 with a beautiful shade of canary-yellow at the centre, extending 

 part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, remind- 

 ing one of the jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor 

 of most lilies. Blooms out of doors earh' in .luh'. 



$1.25 each; $12.00 per doz.; $90.00 per 100. 



Lilium Sargentise. 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 

 resemble Lilium Harrisii; greenish white, shaded purple on the 

 outside, and of the purest white within, with a tint of citron in 

 the centre. The (lowers hav(> a pleasing fragraiK'c. 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 Gold 

 Medal bv the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1913. 

 $1.25 each; $12.00 per doz.
