Lilium Regale 



LiliutTl (Summer Flowering Lilies) 



All herbaceous borders should have a few Lilies scattered through them. 

 The sorts offered below can be planted with excellent results during the early 

 spring months. It is in the hardy border that Lilies do best, as they get the 

 benefit of the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for their 

 welfare; other varieties should be planted in the autumn, and are offered in 

 our autumn catalogue. 



Auratum (Golden-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 centre a golden-yellow; 3 to 5 feet. July, September. Extra 

 large-flowering bulbs, 40 cts. each; $4.00 per doz.; $30.00 per 100. 



Henryi. This beautiful and rare variety has been called the "Yellow 

 Speciosum," the flowers being a rich apricot yellow with a few brown spots.

 and September. Extra large bulbs, SO cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 

 per 100. 



Regale (Myriophyllum). This new variety from Western China is admittedly 

 one of the most beautiful garden Lilies yet introduced. It grows 3 to 5 feet 

 high, and blooms out of doors in July. It i s perfectly hardy, and flourishes 

 under very varied conditions, the large trumpet shaped, delicately scented 

 flowers, which are produced freely, are ivory-white, shaded pink, tinged 

 with canary yellow at the base of the petals. Strong flowering bulbs, 

 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100.

 most important of all the Japanese Lilies, always satisfactory.

 stance, with a greenish band running through the centre of each 

 petal. August and September. Extra large flowering bulbs,

 for planting out another season. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Dreer's Select Gloxinias 



The Gloxinia ought to be one of our common plants because 

 of its great beauty, the profusion of its flowers and its sum- 

 mer blooming habit. But it is not common, by any means, 

 and this fact is attributable almost entirely to the impression 

 that prevails to a great extent that it is a very difficult plant 

 to grow, such is not the case, however, if one goes at it in the 

 right way. 



Full cultural directions are given in our book, "Dreer's 

 Hints on the Growing of Bulbs." Price 25 cts., or free i f asked
