Beautiful 
Hardy Lilies 
2691 Lilium Aura turn ( Gold-Banded Lily 
of Japan). This favorite garden lily is one of 
the grandest plants in cultivation. Its immense, 
ivory-white flowers are thickly studded with yel¬ 
low and crimson spots, while in the center of each 
petal is a golden ray, fading at its edges into 
the white. Such choice bulbs as we offer if well 
cared for will give from five to ten magnificent 
flowers the first year, and under good cultivation 
will, after becoming well established, give many 
more. It blooms usually in July and August. 
Height outdoors in the open usually three to fivtf 
feet. Each, 35 cts.; 3 for 95 cts.; doz., $3.25. 
2692 Lilium Candidum (Annunciation or 
Madonna Lily). A hardy garden and forcing sort 
that has long been one of the most popular of all 
lilies. It is still one of the finest single clear 
white flowers in cultivation and its rich perfume 
is very attractive. It should be planted in the 
Fall and usually blooms in June. Outdoors it 
thrives best where it can remain undisturbed for 
several years. Height outdoors in the open usu¬ 
ally three to four feet. Each, 35 cts.; 3 for 95 
cts.; doz., $3.25, postpaid. 
2696 Speciosum Rubrum. The white or 
pink petals are thickly dotted with rose or crim¬ 
son spots. This hardy, strong growing sort is some¬ 
times called 11 Crimson Banded’’ and is consid¬ 
ered by many the most satisfactory for garden cul¬ 
tivation. Each, 25 cts.; 3 for 65 cts.; doz., $2.50. 
2693 Lilium Regale or Myriophyllum. It is 
absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It 
has been predicted that this will become the 
Easter Lily of the future, and being so hardy, 
may be grown at home. The flowers are white, 
slightly suffused with pink, with a beautiful 
shade of canary-yellow at the center, and extend¬ 
ing part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully 
perfumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, and 
lacking the heavy, oppressive odor of most Lilies. 
Blooms out-of-doors early in July. Each, 20 cts.; 
3 for 55 cts.; doz., $2.00, postpaid. 
It is in the hardy border or among - shrubbery that 
Lilies do best, as they gpt the benefit of the shade of 
the surrounding plants which is so necessary for their 
welfare. In planting, cover the bulbs at least three 
times their own depth, and when hard frost sets in 4 
to 6 inches of leaves or litter should be placed over 
them; this should be removed in the Spring when 
danger from hard frost is past. 
2695Speciosum Album. Pure white flowers 
with a greenish band through the center of each 
petal. They are of great substance and very fra¬ 
grant. One of the best for general culture. Each, 
35 cts.; 3 for 95 cts.; doz., $3.25, postpaid.
