SUNSET LILY AS GR(3WN IN THE GARDEN 



eased stock. We have secured the cleanest and 

 healthiest planting of this lily that it has ever been 

 our pleasure to see growing, and purchasers may be 

 assured that finer bulbs will not be found anywhere. 

 The Nankeen lily is very well adapted to planting in 

 the l)order, and makes a lovely companion to del- 

 phiniums, as it blooms at about the same time. Plant 

 (fuite shallow, about three inches, and do not disturb 

 the clump. It will increase in size and beauty with 

 each succeeding year. Especially selected large 

 bulbs, $1 each, $10 per dozen. Plant this lily early; 

 no deliveries after Oct. 20th. 



Umbellatum 



A very ea.sy subject to grow, and especially desir- 

 able because it flowers ahead of practically all the 

 other lilies in this list, being at its best in early June. 

 The flowers are produced in umbellate heads, several 

 in the clusters, and are a bright orange or orange- 

 red in color. The growth is stocky, stems being about 

 two or two and one-half feet tall. Plant four or five 

 inches deep. Hardy and most reliable. 



Each 40 cents, $3.50 per dozen. 



Washingtonianum 



(Mt. Hood Lily.) This fine species from the moun- 

 tains of Oregon is the principal trumpet-flowered 

 lily native of America. Tall, leafy stems bear as 

 man,v as 25 sweet-scented blooms which open white, 

 but change to pink and wine color with age. Col- 

 lected bulbs often supplied are liable to fail due to 

 bruises and drying. Our garden-grown bulbs are 

 fresh and healthy. Good drainage requii-ed. 



40c each, $4.00 per doz. 



Hugh Low and Co., with whom it flowered in 1889. For 

 some reason it has been given the reputation of teing only 

 half-hardy, but I think that in time this will be found to 

 be incorrect, and I advise anyone interested to plant it 

 without the slightest hesitation, and plant the bulbs 9 

 inches deep, care being taken to see that the position is 

 fairl.v well drained, especially where the natural soil is 

 clay. — E. Markham in Gardening Illustrated. 



WiLLMOTTIAE 



This is one of Mr. Wilson's best introductions from 

 Central China. It ranks among the finest hardy 

 lilies. Foliage long and very deep green. Flowers 

 recurving, bright orange-red. 4 to 6 feet. Jul.v. 



50c each, $5.00 per doz. 



Tenuifolium 



(The Siberian Coral Lily.) Bright coral-red. Best 

 for rock gardens. 12 to 18 inches tall. ]\lay and 

 June. 15c each, $1.50 per doz. 



Tenuifolium Golden Gleam 



A very fine form with flowers of a rich golden 

 ai)ricot shade. Identical otherwise with the common 

 coral red type. 40c each $4.00 per doz. 



Testaceum 



(The Nankeen Lily.) Perhaps the most distinct in 

 color of all lilies — a soft apricot or yellow-buff, gen- 

 erally described as nankeen yellow. Although known 

 and grown for many years, testaceum is still quite 

 rare, mainlj^ because so many growers send out dis-
