LILIDEUM 
Sacred Lily 
The Wonder Plant of Our World’s Fair Gardens 
Like the sun worshippers it opens its petals toward the rising sun, unfolds 
its gorgeous red blooms upright at noontime, turns its head toward the 
declining sun and dies with the setting thereof. Blooms appear and die 
daily over a period of a month. This rare flower, a native of Mexico, the 
most outstanding and most admired flower in our World’s Fair gardens, 
grows 2/i feet tall. Flowers produced in continued succession throughout 
the summer, oddly marked with a cup'shaped center, outer 
segments bright red, with inner segments yellow or wine 
spotted. Mexican flowers are tender bulbs requiring the same 
treatment given Dahlias. Be the first to get this rare plant, 
with beauty in every blossom. They will increase four-fold 
each year. Price, 50c each; 3 for $1.00, prepaid.

BLUE HYDRANGEA 
A Thrill in the Allegheny Section 
This Hydrangea has been the most desired of all the 
Hydrangeas offered to the trade. It blooms in great 
profusion from New York City to Cleveland, Ohio; and 
south to Washington and Baltimore. We began experi¬ 
menting with this variety about five years ago and find 
that by covering in winter, they grow and bloom for us 
as readily as for our friends in Boston and Newport, 
who also have to protect them by covering in like 
manner. This Hydrangea is a Japanese type that blooms 
pink flowers on the one-year stems, followed by blue 
flowers on the 2-year-old wood. In other words, it is 
necessary to have 2-year-old wood to have the blue 
Hydrangea. We now have a nice stock of these young 
plants which we are offering to our customers in 8 to 
12 in. size at $1.00; 18 to 24 in. at $2.00.

REDBUD —Cercis 
One of the handsomest of the small, low-growing, flat-topped 
trees, growing to 15 feet in height. Along the widely spreading, 
numerous branches the rosy purple blossoms appear before the 
leaves, covering the tree so completely as to make it look like a 
pink cloud. These flowers appear from late March to early May, 
according to season, the leaves having the appearance of grape 
leaves, both in size and shape. These made a beautiful effect along 
the rail fence in the New England section of our garden at the 
World’s Fair. Be sure to order some of these trees for lawn speci¬ 
mens. We offer these in 4 to 6 ft. trees, 3-year, at 50c each; 
3 for $1.25, not prepaid. 
DAPHNE CNEORUM 
Thousands paused to admire the Daphne blooming in our model 
rockery at the World’s Fair in September and October. It is a very 
dwarf shrub, almost evergreen, with spreading branches on which 
the narrow, inch-long leaves are crowded; making very pretty trails 
of blue-green foliage. The soft pink flowers appear profusely dur¬ 
ing April and May, and at intervals throughout the summer; very 
small and dainty in terminal clusters, with a distinct and very 
pleasing sweet fragrance. 6 to 8 ill., B&B, $1.00; 8 to 12 ill., 
B&B, $1.25.
