Garden Lilies (. Lilium ) 
No garden is fully planted without a generous quota of Lilies, and where specially prepared beds are not 
available, they can be used to splendid advantage in combination with perennial groups, interspersing the 
late-flowering Lilies among early-flowering subjects such as lupines, Oriental poppies, Canterbury bells and 
others that require a little bolstering after flowering, using the earlier-flowering Candidum and Regale among 
the late-flowering hinds, such as chrysanthemum, phlox, or in combination with delphiniums. The Lilies 
offered here are not difficult to grow, but should have a good rich, deep soil that is well drained. In preparing 
the soil, barnyard manure should be used only if thoroughly decomposed. A winter mulch of this is also 
advised. 
Auratum. The Gold-handed. Lily oj Japan. The favorite 
among all of the Lilies, and the most impressive in 
every respect when it is in happy surroundings. Very 
large white flowers, spotted with deep crimson and 
marked with a distinct gold band through each petal. 
The height is apt to vary from 2J^ to 5 feet or even 
taller in rare instances. Plant in clusters, setting the 
bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz., 
$30 per 100; extra large, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
$35 per 100. 
Auratum platyphyllum (macranthum). A stronger 
growing Auratum. The stem is stouter and attains 
a greater height. Enormous, broad-petaled, white 
flowers, richly spotted yellow. 60 cts. each, $6 per 
doz., $45 per 100; extra large, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per 
doz., $55 per 100. 
Canadense. Wild Yellow or Canada Lily. Drooping, 
bell-like flowers, varying from orange-yellow to a 
tawny red, and growing from 4 to 6 feet high. Does 
well in partial shade. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $15 
per 100. 
Candidum. Madonna or Ascension Lily. This favorite 
pure white variety, so often associated with del¬ 
phiniums, is, no doubt, the most extensively used 
Lily. The best bulbs are imported from France, arriv¬ 
ing in August, and should be planted in early Septem¬ 
ber. We have, however, prepared for spring planting 
a limited quantity of fall-potted bulbs that we will 
ship with a ball of soil by express only. These should 
flower this summer. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $35 
per 100. 
Croceum. Orange Lily. A free-flowering, sturdy Lily 
attaining a height of 4 to 5 feet and flowering in late 
June. Color orange-yellow, with minute dark brown 
spots. We offer the true stock which is scarce. 50 cts. 
each, $5 per doz. 
Elegans. A dwarf Lily of easy culture and very desir¬ 
able. Erect flowers, varying from orange-yellow to 
red, during June and July. Height, 1^ to 2 feet. 
30 cts. each, $3 per doz., $20 per 100.

ters of six to ten, are thick-petaled and durable. 
Stems reach a height of 4 to 6 feet. Splendid for 
mingling with shrubbery. June flowering. 75 cts. 
each, $7.50 per doz.

feet. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

idal, branching stems. Height, 4 feet. 75 cts. each,

yellow flowers, showily marked with brown spots. 
A Lily of the easiest culture. Height, 3 feet. June. 
60 cts. each, $6 per doz. 
Regale. 7 be Royal Lily. One of the hardiest and most 
beautiful garden Lilies. Its large, fragrant, trumpet¬ 
shaped white flowers carry a suffusion of pink and 
primrose-yellow, contrasting with the rich brown on 
the reverse of the petals, making a blend that is 
truly delightful. Plant in any good, free garden soil 
that is well drained, avoiding green manure, setting 
the bulbs fully 6 inches deep. 35 cts. each, $3.50 per 
doz., $25 per 100; extra large, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., 
$35 per 100. 
Speciosum album. The Speciosum Lilies are the most 
satisfactory and reliable of the late summer-flowering 
sorts. Bulbs are imported from Japan, arriving in 
fall, usually too late for planting. Spring-planted 
bulbs give good results, however, and we advise 
planting from April until mid-May. Album is a 
pure white form, very fragrant and effective. Plant 
6 to 8 inches deep. Height, 2J^ to 3 feet. August to 
September flowering. Medium bulbs, 60 cts. each, 
$6 per doz., $50 per 100.

album. Pure white flowers of better size and splendid 
growing habit. 60 cts. each, $6 per doz.

and marked crimson; very effective. Height, 2 ^ to 
3 feet. August, September. Large bulbs, 40 cts. each, 
$4 per doz., $30 per 100; extra large, 50 cts. each, 
$5 per doz., $35 per 100. 
Tenuifolium. Coral Lily. Drooping flowers of medium 
size, on slender stems. The color is a bright coral- 
scarlet. A dainty Lily of easy culture that does best 
when grown under a low, spready cover plant, such 
as nepeta or violas. The bulbs are naturally small, 
but bloom readily the first season. 35 cts. each, 
$3.50 per doz. 
Testaceum. The beautiful and rare Nankeen Lily. 
$1.50 each. 
Tigrinum splendens. The best form of the old-fashioned 
Tiger Lily but better in growth and color than the 
type. Very easily grown. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., 
$18 per 100.
