great purity. The outside of the trumpets is 
streaked with reddish brown. Plant eight inches 
deep in light, sandy loam or peat and give good 
drainage; in open or semi shade. 
A grand plant for light soils, being content even 
with almost pure sand with a little manure; yet 
succeeds in stiffer land and in heavy soil. Stem- 
roots; fall planting; June-July flowering. 
Please do not confuse this beautiful Lily with 
a Chinese variety of the same name, which is not 
pleasing or satisfactory in the garden. Extra 
heavy, selected bulbs, $2 each; $17.50 for 10. A 
smaller bulb at $1.25 each; $10 for 10. 
CANADENSE. Broad, funnel-shaped, drooping 
flowers, varying from yellow to orange; spotted 
inside; graceful and pretty. Fine among Azaleas, 
in damp peat beds or leaf mold. Excellent for 
naturalizing. Base-roots; fall planting, 5 inches 
deep; June-July flowering. Extra selected bulbs, 
$4.50 for 10; $42.50 per 100. A smaller, good 
flowering bulb, $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
CANADENSE FLAVUM. Broad, funnel-shaped 
drooping flower on longish stalks about three 
feet high. Almost bell-shaped with the ends of 
the petals only very slightly turned back. Golden 
yellow, handsomely spotted inside. Graceful and 
pretty. 
Fine among Azaleas, in damp peat or very 
light loam or leaf mold. Excellent for natural¬ 
izing in thin woodland. Base-roots; fall planting, 
about 5 inches deep. June-July flowering. 
Selected bulbs, $4.50 for 10; $42.50 per 100. A

per 100. 
CHALCEDONICUM. Grows to a height of 3 to 
4 feet. Flowers in loose clusters, small but sym¬ 
metrical in shape, with recurved petals; bright 
red and waxlike. Does splendidly in properly 
drained heavy soil and even in clay; should not 
be disturbed when once established. Often flow¬ 
ers very poorly the first season, but nothing is 
more lovely than a clump of this lily in bloom 
when established. Base-rooting; fall planting. 5 
inches deep; June-July flowering. Extra Selected 
bulbs, $2.50 each; $22.50 for 10; $197.50 per 100.

for 10. 
CROCEUM (True). A favorite with those who 
like its color. Bright orange flowers are carried 
upright; very hardy, thriving in any soil in a 
sunny garden border or among shrubs in half 
shade. Is at its best toward the end of June and 
early July. 
It seems to bear its well filled heads of great 
orange cups as willingly in a city plot as in a 
country garden, while its leaves show by their 
deep green color, and the whole plant by its 
robust health and vigor, how little it worries 
about conditions of town life that are so surely 
fatal to many plants. Stem-rooting; fall planting, 
five inches deep. True stock. Extra selected 
bulbs, $5 for 10; $47.50 per 100. 
ELEGANS IN VARIETY. The number of forms 
and varieties is legion, varying in color from 
pale lemon-yellow to rich orange-brown, embrac¬ 
ing various tints of orange to almost red and 
from soft apricot to approaching crimson; vary¬ 
ing also in flowering season. A copious planting 
of these in mixture through a colony of Funkia 
or White Heuchera, produces a most effective 
display, continuous for a considerable period. 
Stem-roots; plant in fall or early spring, 8 or 
9 inches deep, in sunny situation; June-July flow¬ 
ering. These lilies are so frequently mixed in 
their colors that we have decided to offer them 
in mixed varieties. Extra heavy bulbs, $2.50 for 
10; $22.50 per 100. 
LILIUM ELEGANS OGON. Possibly the finest 
of all Lilium Elegans. In color it is of the purest 
golden yellow. Plants are vivid yellow with dark 
green foliage which offers quite a contrast with 
the yellow of the flowers. A lily that should be 
in every collection, fine either as a pot plant or 
for borders. $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
HANSONII. In every way most desirable, being 
not particular in its cultural requirements and 
extremely handsome in flower; does well in light 
loam. Plant among shrubs and low plants to 
protect young shoots, this being one of the earli¬ 
est lilies to appear in spring. Does as well in 
thin woodland as it does in the border. 
Protect from full sun, the flower otherwise 
will bleach a little. The stem reaches a height of 
4 to 5 feet, carrying blossoms 2 inches across, 
regularly reflexed, the petals being of a bright 
orange-yellow, spotted more or less with brown; 
of a waxy texture. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 
10 inches deep; June flowering. Extra heavy, se¬ 
lected bulbs, $9.75 for 10; $95 per 100. Selected 
bulbs, $6.50 for 10; $62.50 per 100; a smaller, 
good flowering bulb, $4.75 for 10; $45 per 100. 
HUMBOLDTII MAGNIFICUM. Stout, erect 
stem, with whorls of leaves at regular intervals. 
Numerous drooping flowers borne in loose, tri¬ 
angular clusters of brilliant golden yellow, 
spotted with purple on the reflexed petals; showy; 
prefers deep, peaty soil, but will grow in any 
well drained soil, which must be deep, for the 
roots go straight down. It produces a splendid 
flowering plant; five feet high. 
Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches deep; 
June-July flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, 
$9 for 10; $87.50 per 100. 
JAPONICUM (Formerly Listed as Krameri). This 
is one of the few “pink” lilies of our gardens, 
and a very lovely thing it is. The flowers are 
carried horizontally on stems 3 feet high. Some¬ 
what capricious in its requirements. The soil 
generally advised for it is a light loam, but an 
amateur who grows lilies with great success says 
that the color is finest in peat. 
It is a lily so beautiful and of a color so lovely 
and unusual that it is worth taking pains with. 
It roots from the stem as well as from the bulb, 
and therefore should be planted rather deep, fully 
eight inches. It has been known to give as many 
as seven blooms to a stem, though one and two 
flowers to a stem the first year is usual. 
The funnel-shaped, finely formed flowers are 
six inches or more in length, and as much across, 
of a beautiful clear pink color often shaded blush. 
Late fall or early spring planting; stem-roots. We 
recommend that this lily be planted in pots and 
started in cold frames; then plunge later, pot
