LILIES 
A border planting of Sunset Lilies (Pardalinum Giganteum). 
AMABILE —A rare species from Korea which 
seldom grows more than 18 inches high. 
The pretty, recurving flowers are quite 
large and of a brilliant tone of orange- 
scarlet known as grenadine red, marked 
with black. A splendid lily for the rock 
garden, requiring fast drainage and an 
open, sunny situation. June. 25c each, 
3 for 65c, 12 for $2.50. Very fine large 
bulbs, 40c each, 3 for $1.10, 12 for $4.00. 
AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM — The most 
vigorous and easily grown of the aurat- 
ums. The massive white flowers have a 
central band of gold on each petal and are 
lightly spotted with the same color. The 
fragrance is very sweet. Under favorable 
conditions the plant attains great height. 
Fast drainage and acid soil, rich in leaf- 
mold, are the principal requirements of 
this lily. Plant 10 inches deep. August 
flowering. Home grown bulbs, very 
scarce, $1.00 each. Japanese bulbs—ready 
in December, 25c each, $2.50 doz. 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS— See Marhan. 
BROWNI —The true form, very scarce. Do not 
confuse with the much inferior variety, 
odorum, offered by some dealers. Lilium 
Browni is one of the world’s best lilies. 
The wiry stems, clothed with handsome 
[3 ] 
foliage, bear one to several large trumpet 
flowers, exquisitely fashioned, marble- 
white on the face, emerald green in the 
throat and Corinthian purple on the re¬ 
verse surfaces. The anthers are cinnamon 
brown. Plant 8 inches deep, in sandy soil.
