SUNSET 

 LILY 



On the right we present 

 a color reproduction of 

 this grand new lily, a 

 flower which is destined 

 to become universally pop- 

 ular. 



Because of its ease of 

 culture, rapidity of in- 

 crease, and its extreme 

 hardiness, the new SUN- 

 SET LILY is certain to 

 achieve Avidespread favor. 

 It is not only of the easi- 

 est culture, but is likewise 

 of rare beauty and robust 

 constitution. It has been 

 known to attain a height 

 of twelve feet, Avitli from 

 20 to 40 flowers to the 

 stalk, and ma.v be depend- 

 ed upon to grow consis- 

 tently to 5 or 6 feet. Not 

 particular as to soil, it 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 l)right 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 flowei 

 Stems are straight and strong with no tendency to 

 droop. Plant medium depth, about eight or nine 

 inches, in a position Avhere water or seepage will not 

 stand during the winter. 



PRICES: Strong well gi'own l)nll)s. with two or 

 more crowns, each 50c, 3 for $1, 12 for $3.50. Singh 

 crown bulbs for naturalizing. $20 per hundred. Post

Every lily bulb we send out will be a healthy, clean, fresh 

 specimen of flowering size. If you have been disappointed
