CHLIDANTHUS FRAGRANS 
(Fragrant Lily) 
An old time favorite which had disappeared from our midst. 
It can be grown as a pot plant or in the garden; it produces mini¬ 
ature Amaryllis-like flowers, which are a clear rich yellow; the 
blooms are very fragrant, the odor being most pleasing. To grow 
in pots the bulbs should be potted in early Spring and placed in a 
warm conservatory or window garden. For outdoor planting set 
bulbs out when all danger of frost is past. 
It adds beauty to a rockery or border when planted in clumps 
of 6 or more. Bulbs must be taken up in the Fall and stored in a 
cool, dry temperature. 25c. each; doz., $2.50; $16.00 per 100. 
LILIUM PHILIPPINENSE FORMOSANUM 
Lilies give stateliness to your garden and are the outstanding 
attraction when in bloom. We recommend this recent introduction 
as one of the finest acquisitions. It is a wonderful lily, producing 
large blooms of pure white, tinted with rose on the outside; the 
size and its form resemble the Easter lily, with a similar enhancing 
fragrance; it is a profuse bloomer and invaluable as a cut flower; 
perfectly hardy in cold climates, if given a mulch in the late Fall. 
30c. each; doz., $2.50; $16.00 per 100. 
COOPERIA PEDUNCULATA 
(Giant Prairie Lily) 
Another old time favorite, which has become exceedingly 
scarce. It is unsurpassed when used in a clump of 8 to 12 bulbs, 
among shrubbery, in the border or rockery; they bloom profusely 
towards evening, producing large, very fragrant pure white flowers, 
tinged red on the outside. Bulbs should be lifted in the Fall and 
stored in a dry and cool temperature. 20c. each; doz., $2.00; 
$14.00 per 100.
