THE NEW 



SUNSET 

 LILY 



Because of its ease of 

 culture, rapidity of in- 

 crease, and its extreme 

 hardiness, the new SUN- 

 RET LILY is certain to 

 achieve widespread favor. 

 It is not only of the easi- 

 est culture, hut is likewise 

 of rare beauty and robust 

 constitution. It has been 

 known to attain a height 

 of twelve feet, with from 

 20 to 40 flowers to the 

 stalk, and may be depend- 

 ed uiion to grow consis- 

 tently to 5 or 6 feet. Not 

 particular as to soil, il will 

 thrive in full sun or par- 

 tial shade, and while it ap- 

 preciates good drainage, a 

 liberal amount of water 

 during the growing season 

 pays good dividends in 

 larger blossoms and great- 

 er height. 



The SUNSET LILY has 

 few rivals in the group 

 which are generally char- 

 acterized as RED. No oth- 

 er red lily compares with 

 it in size nor height, and 

 certainly none of them are 

 as easy and simple to 

 grow — it is practically 

 fool-proof. As will be noted 

 in the color illustration, this lily is bright red in 

 color, the central portion being a bright yellow with 

 dark spots. The anthers are long and very pro- 

 nounced, lending grace and airiness to the flower. 

 Stems are straight and strong with no tendency to 

 droop. Plant medium depth, about eight or nine 

 indies, in a position where water or seepage will not 

 stand during the winter. July flowering. 



PRICES: Strong well grown bulbs, each 75c, 3 for 

 $1.75, 12 for $5.00. Postpaid.

SUNSET LILY 



I confuse with L. Paidalinum, which somewhat resembles 

 The Sunset Lily is twice as large and finer in every respect) 



Old customers will miss a few items from our 

 prior catalogs — especially the English Iris Bulbs, 

 and our more extensive list of Lilies. Our stocks of 

 both these items were sold very low last season, and 

 we were obliged to withhold them from sale this 

 year. It is our hope that the more complete list of 

 Bearded Iris and Hemerocallis will offset this short- 

 age. Your past patronage and good will are sin- 

 cerely appreciated.
