Grand Hardy Lilies 



If to be sent by mail, add 5c each for postage. 



No border of hardy perennials is complete without at least a few lilies dotted through it. They succeed better 

 in the hardy border than other situations and the flowers are beautiful, either upon the plant or in vases 



AURA.TUM. Golden-Banded IvILY. — Immense bell-shaped 

 flowers, delicate ivory-white, thickly marked with reddish 

 chocolate dots, with a stripe of bright yellow through the 

 center of each petal and almost overpowering with rich 

 fragrance. (See cut.) E^ach, 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, 

 $10.00. 



CANADENSE. — A native species, with bell-shaped yellow 

 flowers spotted with black. The blossoms are held on 

 long stems and nod a welcome with every gentle breeze. 

 Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



ELEGANS (Thnnbergianuin). — Of dwarf habit; very 

 hardy and produces large showy flowers in great num- 

 bers. Unlike most L,ilies, 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. 

 They range in color from orange to dark red; some being 

 apricot, others flame red and variations of these colors 

 in endless variety; all being more or less dotted , with 

 dark brown. All colors mixed. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25;

HANSONI. — A rai-e and very valuable Japanese species, 

 producing in clusters, large rich yellow flowers with a 

 few black dots. It grows from 3 to 4 feet high, blooms 

 with great freedom and is exceptionally hardy. Each, 

 50c; doz., $5.00. 



HENRTI. — 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 Eilies. 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 in 

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

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

 flowers spotted with brown. Of robust habit and free

TEMJIFOLirM. Coral Lily.— From Siberia and the 

 brightest in color of all Lilies. Grows but 18 inches high,

 masse. Each, 12c; doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00.

 8 to 10 delicate bright apricot lilies. Flowers are ex- 

 quisitely perfect; a most desirable variety. Each, 12c; 

 doz., $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



SPECIOSUM OR LANCIFOLIUM 

 LILIES. 



Usually termed Japanese Lilies though there are many 

 other superb species of Japanese origin. They are by far 

 the most popular and largely grown of all Lilies, for 

 outdoor culture. Their large wax-like flowers are very 

 beautiful and delightfully fragrant. All are very hardy.

 green band throughout the center of each petal. Each, 

 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00.

 beauty of this variety. The flowers are frosted white, 

 spotted, clouded and bordered with pinkish crimson.

 like 5*. Album except the white waxy recurved petals are

 flowering bulbs; in most cases American grown.
