Lilies 
Lillum Regale 
Lilium Regale 
This popular Lily may be seen growing in many gar¬ 
dens throughout California. The flowers inside are a 
canary-yellow fading to white and often suffused with 
pink. Outside they are white, shaded purple. They are 
one of the most profuse bloomers, specimen plants after 
they are two or three years old, bearing as many as 20 
to 25 flowers. The Regal Lily, as it is often called, is 
particularly suited to California soil and climatic condi¬ 
tions. Plant 6 in. deep in heavy soil and deeper in light 
soil. Large Bulbs 20c each; $2.00 per doz. Medium 
Bulbs 15c each; $1.25 per doz. 
All of the Lilies listed below do well in 
the open ground in Southern California. 
They require little care and are very sat¬ 
isfactory as a garden flower. Except 
where otherwise stated plant 8 to 10 
inches deep in soil blended with leaf 
mold and peat. If the soil Is heavy it 
should be mixed with sand and in any 
case place a little sand under and around 
each bulb. Avoid the use of lime. Lilies 
should not be disturbed after they are 
planted, but rather should be planted in 
a permanent bed. They multiply rapidly 
and produce a wealth of bloom. For pot 
culture plant the bulb in the pot a depth 
of about 1 inch, plunge the pot in soil 
several inches below the surface and 
leave it until growth appears. Plant in 
partial shade for best results and further 
protection from the sun is afforded by 
planting among low growing vegetation. 
Please Note—Some varieties of Lily bulbs 
are imported from Japan and do not arrive 
in this country before December. Please mail 
your orders early and the bulbs will be 
mailed as soon as available and in good sea¬ 
son for planting.
