LILIES - The Regal Lily 
The Regal Lily is one of the most reliable of the hardy varieties and may be planted 
with confidence for a garden of lilies. 
The trumpet shaped flowers are white, with a canary yellow throat; the reverse of 
the petals is tinted with pink or a rich maroon red in varying degrees of color. 
The Regal Lily produces an abundance of pleasing fragrance, both in or out of 
doors; altogether the most outstanding hardy lily. 
It is a profuse bloomer when well established, commonly with eight to twelve 
flowers on a stem, sometimes twenty-four or more. The height of the lily is from 
three to five feet. Its blooming season begins in late June or early July. 
All in all, we wish to emphasize the hardiness, the reliability of blooming and the 
exquisite beauty of the Regal Lily, a truly Regal flower.
