N2 other flower will so adorn our gar- 
SS dens when in bloom, as these 
SS My beautiful Hardy Garden Lilies, and I 
. | \ urge my friends to include at leasta 
few of them in their orders. No brush 
can paint or pen portray the exquisite 
purity and delicacy, yet magnificent 
grandeur of the stately Lily, and above 
all, are of the easiest cultivation, es- 
pouany, the following varieties, which ’ 
ave been carefully selected, with this 
object in view. Complete 
cultural directions, for gar- 
den or pot culture, accom- 
pany each order. 
EEE SS 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM.— 
Large, pure white flowers 
of great substance, petals 
beautifully recurved. One 
of the finest Lilies in culti- 
vation, and splendid either 
for the garden or for grow- 
ing in pots for house deco- 
ration, as it is of neat and 
graceful babit while the pure 
white flowers are delight- 
fully perfumed. Grows 
about two feet high. 20 
cents Geen: 3 for 50 cents; 
i] Speciosum Roscum. 
SPECIOSUM ROSEUM.— 
Pure white ground, stained 
and spotted rose, similar to 
Speciosum Album except in 
eolor. Thrives excellently in 
our climate, the bulbs increas- 
ing rapidly; very beautiful. 20 
cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for $1.00. 
ELEGANS. INCOMPAR= 
ABLE,—A grand new addition 
to the elegans family, large, 
tulip-shaped blossoms of the 
richest red color imaginable; 
shaded and veined orange sal- 
mon. Theumbels of upright 
ecup-like flowers, which are 
produced in abundance, are 
very pleasing, and one of the 
first of our hardy garden Lil- 
ies to bloom. 2 cents each; 
3 for 60 cents; 6 for $1.00. 
AURATUM. The Golden 
Rayed Lily of Japan, This hand- 
some Lily has deservedly be- 
come one of the standard fa- 
vorites of the flower garden. 
Deliciously fragrant, immense 
blooms, nearly a foot wide 
when fully expanded, and pro- Double 
duced in the greatest profusion, Ticer Lil 
stamps Lilium Auratum as one g Le 
of the finest. The color and 
markings of this magnificent Lily surpass all others; flowers are pure 
white, spotted with intense chocolate crimson, with a bright golden yellow 
band running through the centre of each petal. The illustration here- 
with is from a photograph of a plant standing about 6 feet high, with over 
20 large and perfect flowers fully expanded at one time. My stock of this 
peaubeul Lily pis year js better phar ever before, and I am prepared to 
supply my customers wi as fine bulbs as can b , anyw 
20 cents each; 3 for 50 cents; 7 for 1.00. SpE CuEce aay nere: 
TENUIFOLIUM. Coral Lily of Siberia. Siberia is, next to Africa, the 
least Known to us of all the countries of the world. Itsanimals differ from 
those we know, and its plants are unlike those of any other part of the ei 
= world, being odd, beautiful, with marked characteristics. The Coral Lily of 
2 Siberia is no exception, being quite distinct from any other Hardy Garden 
a Lily. It grows to a height of three feet, with a grand bloom 5 feet in 
2 circumference. Its form is graceful, and its fern-like foliage is a beautiful 
bright green, and surpasses in delicacy and shining surface, any plant we 
know. Its fragrance is exquisite, but its most striking attraction is the 
wonderful brightness of its scarlet, fame-like bloom. It is the most bril- 
liant red we have ever seen. 25 cents each; 3 for 60 cents; 6 for $1.00. 
ALEXANDRAEA. This magnificent new Lily was received from Japan 
for the first time last year. It is described as a dwarf white Lilium Aura- 
tum without spots; having dark brown anthers, and a perfume pleasanter 
and more delicate than that of Auratum. The flowers are large, widely 
expanded, of great substance and exquisitely beautiful. It is admirably 
adapted to pot culture. From a decorative point of view it is a grand Lily, 
and one that will doubtless become as popular as Lilium Auratum., It 
grows less than 18 inches in height, and the plants produce a large number 
of flowers, which are pure white. According to the best English publica- 
tions it is one of the finest Lilies of recent introduction, and will soon 
acquire a high degree of popularity, and be grown wherever Lilies are 
appreciated. It is so well thought of in England that it was introduced 
there in 1894 as a new lily at one guinea each. I have succeeded in secur- 
© ing a few hundred bulbs of this grand new Lily and can offer them at a 
— very low figure. 35 cents each; 8 for $1.00. 
Lilium Auratum. 
POUBLE TIGER LILY. Tigrinum 
Flore Pleno.—This really perfectly dou- 
ble Lily should be planted in every gar- 
den in the land. They are of stately 
habit, growing from 4 to 6 feet high; fo- 
liage dark green, very long and bearing 
an immense number of bright and love- 
ly double orange red fiowers, distinctly 
spotted with black; accurately illus- 
trated herewith. If you have _ never 
planted Lilies, you should try Double 
Tiger Lily; if you have a collection, 
you should add this one to make it com- 
plete and attractive; as few lilies 
equal it for brilliant display and yield 
ing so liberal a quantity of bloom 
15 cents each; 4 for 50 cents; 10 for $1.00
