 reddish chocolate dots, with a stripe of bright yellow 

 through the center of each petal and almost overpower- 

 ing with rich fragrance. (See cut.) Each, 15c; doz.,

ELEGANS (Thunbergianum) — Of dwarf habit; very 

 hardy and produces large showy flowers in great num- 

 bers. Uniike most Lilies, the flowers open facing the 

 sun at the end of the stem after the manner of Tulips. 

 Of easiest culture, very beautiful and of great value.

 ing apricot, others flame red and variations of these col- 

 ors in endless variety; all being more or less dotted

 with great freedom and is exceptionally hardy. Each, 

 50c; doz., $5.00. 



HENRYL— Perhaps the most valuable Lily all things 

 considered, ever offered for outdoor culture. It is from 

 the mountains of central China and is as hardy and en- 

 during as the well known Tiger Lilies. In habit, form, 

 size and general make up of flowers it closely resembles 

 the speciosum varieties; but the plant is much more 

 rugged and the flowers are a deep orange-yellow banded 

 with green. A very free bloomer. I am fortunate :n 

 having secured a good supply of fine bulbs of this un- 

 rivalled variety. Each, 75c; doz., $7.50.

 yellow flowers spotted with brown. Of robust habit
