Hardy Lilies 
With the exception of Liliwm candidum, which seems to 
prefer an open position, most Lilies thrive best when planted 
in a semi-shaded situation where the ground can be kept cool 
and moist by the protection of shrubs and a carpet of lawn- 
\ grass cuttings. Planted among shallow-rooting perennials or 
rhododendrons, they find a congenial situation both as to soil 
and shelter. The bulbs should be planted from 6 to 8 inches 
deep, with a little sand or spagnum moss under the base of 
each bulb. 
Auratum. (Gold-Banded Japan Lily.) Undoubtedly one 
of the finest. Its large graceful, fragrant flowers. are composed 
\ of six petals of a delicate ivory-white color, thickly studded 
with chocolate-crimson spots and striped through the center a 
golden yellow; 3 to 5 feet. July to September. Mammoth 
Bulbs. 40c. each. $4.00 doz. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM 
The White Speciosum, which is usually grown with Mag- 
| nificum and Liliwm auratum, is a very dainty Lily. It flowers 
| outside in the border or among rhododendrons at the same time 
as Auratum and Magnificum, and is one of the most extensively 
cultivated varieties. Mammoth Bulbs. 40c. each. $4.00 doz. 
SPECIOSUM MAGNIFICUM 
Words cannot describe the beauty of this variety. Frosted 
| white, spotted, clouded and bordered with deep pinkish crimson. 
For the border, among hardy plants or naturalized among 
rhododendrons, this is an equal favorite with the handsome 
Lilium auratum. Splendid for pot culture as well. Blooms 
outside during August. Mammoth Bulbs. 40c. each. $4.00 doz. 
Henryi. A new Japanese Lily that has made a sensa- 
tion in Europe. It has the same form and appearance as the 
Speciosum varieties, but the flowers are bright orange-yellow. 
75c. each. $7.50 doz. 
Hansoni. Most desirable; not particular in its cultural 
requirements and extremely handsome in flower; does well in 
light loam. The stem reaches a height of 4 to 5 feet, carrying 
blossoms 2 inches across, regularly reflexed, the petals being of 
a bright orange spotted more or less with brown, of a waxy 
texture. June flowering. 75c. each. $7.50 doz. 
Regale or myriophyllum. (The Regal Lily.) It is ab- 
solutely hardy, and is excellent 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, with a beautiful shade of 
canary-yellow at the center, and 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. 75c. each. $7.50 doz. 
Double Tiger Lily. (Lilium tigrinum florepleno.) Very 
Lasting, showy, double flowers. Orange red with black spots. 
25c. each. $2.50 doz. 
Single Tiger Lily. (Lilium tigrinum splendens.) (3-4’). 
Beautiful, salmon-red flowers with purplish-black spots. A 
strong grower. August and September. 25c. each. $2.50 doz.
