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 

 aU niies. 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. SI. 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 UUes — frequently attaining a height of six to 

 eight feet. The flowers var}' 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 flowers have a pleasing fragrance. This 

 Uly 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; .S15.00 per doz.
