REGALE This is the most widely known of all the trumpet lilies . . . 

 a history of 60 years of popularity lies behind it. Regale's pure white 

 color touched with wine stains on the reverse sides keeps it a favorite 

 in many a garden, although the flower itself is not as large as that 

 of the newer hybrid strains. The plant reaches 3 to 5 feet and produces 

 its blooms in late June. At that time, Regale repays the gardener who 

 planted it; for the white trumpets swaying in the summer air on their 

 slender stems are lovely, indeed. It is not hard to understand how 

 Regale has retained its devotees over the years. 3 for $1.85; 6 for $3.50. 



LILY CULTURE 



Lilies like a location in the sun 

 and with air around them; they 

 don't like competition with trees 

 and shrubs; they must have, 

 above all, a well drained soil. Set 

 them in the ground with 4 inches 

 of soil above them. Planting dis- 

 tance between bulbs should be at 

 least 8 inches ... a foot is better. 

 For best effect, lilies ought to be 

 planted in groups of 3 or more, 

 which is why we offer them this 

 way. Nobody should plant just 

 one of a kind! One good way to 

 plant is to place a bulb at each 

 point of an equal-sided triangle, 

 one foot apart. Blooming time 

 given here is for fall-planted 

 bulbs in Eastern Pennsylvania. 

 Further south, it would be earlier, 

 and north, a little later. We will 

 ship your bulbs at the proper 

 time for planting them in your 

 area.

NEW, DIFFERENT AMD ALTOGETHER LOVELY! 



Every garden needs — in fact, deserves — the rare beauty afforded by lilies. Every gar- 

 dener who plants a few appreciates their special appeal, and loves them. Here are 

 some of the best. 



AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM This native of 

 Japan is famed for its big, waxy-white, fragrant 

 flowers — each with its golden streak down the 

 center of the petals. The plants have broad 

 leaves, attractive in themselves and a beautiful 

 complement to the beauty of the flowers. The 

 plant is hardy and disease-resistant — grows to 

 4 to 6 feet in height, and blooms conveniently 

 in August when many another lily has ceased 

 to flower. This one is often called "The Gold 

 Band Lily." 3 for $3.75; 6 for $7.00.

ROYAL GOLD A new strain of the Regale lily in beautiful solid

 glistening texture of the flower surface. There is exceptional beauty 

 also in the form which is considered to be the finest in the species 

 Lilium regale. I know from my own experience that you will enjoy 

 this one. Blooms in July. Grows to 4'/ 2 feet. 3 for $2.75; 6 for $5.00.

 intriguing color combination in a lily that's strong-growing, hardy 

 and robust. Grows from 3 to 6 feet and flowers in July. A most 

 unusual and delightful lily that will put glamour in your garden 

 and at the same time complement your other summer-flowering 

 plants. 3 for $2.75; 6 for $5.00. 



PINK PERFECTION Since this beauty grows from 3 to 7 feet tall, 

 you won't fail to see it and to admire its rare beauty. Very large 

 dusky pink flowers surround the stem. As they open, they raise 

 their beautiful heads, showing the bright, orange stamens against 

 the full richness of the deep pink, and scenting the air deliciously. 

 Flowers in July. 3 for $2.75; 6 for $5.00. 



GREEN MAGIC White petals with mint-green throat and lightly 

 green central rib are wonderfully accented by the dark brown sta- 

 mens. Grows from 3 to 6 feet and flowers in July. A very cool-looking

 to have been sculptured from alabaster by a master hand. 3 for $2.75;
