and all, in the places set aside for them, giving 
them a little protection from the mid-day sun. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $6 for 10; $57.50 per 
100. A smaller, strong flowering bulb, $3 for 10;

MARTAGON. Strong growing lily, producing

floriferous. Base rooting; fall planting only, 6 
inches deep. Extra selected bulbs, $3.50 for 10; 
$32.50 per 100. 
MARTAGON ALBUM. There are few more beau¬ 
tiful things than the White Martagon Lily when 
seen in its best form and thriving in such a way 
as to reveal its full beauty. The appearance of 
these lilies is graceful and delightful in the ex¬ 
treme. 
Rising on slender stems, 4, 5, and sometimes 
nearly 6 feet high, the numerous drooping, wax¬ 
like, white Turk’s Cap flowers, with yellow-tipped 
stamens, look inexpressibly fascinating. The 
small flowers are symmetrical in shape, with re¬ 
flexed petals and are borne in terminal pyramid¬ 
shaped clusters. 
The White Martagon appears to flourish best 
where its lower growths have the benefit of the 
partial shade afforded by herbaceous plants or 
shrubs, and it never looks better than when 
springing through and towering over some of 
moderate vigor. They like loamy soil, but they 
are finest in cool and damp places. 
The Martagon Lily does wonderfully well in 
the shade of trees, and the white variety is no ex¬ 
ception in this respect. Few, if any stem-roots; 
fall planting only, 6 inches deep; June flowering. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $10 for 10. Smaller, 
strong flowering bulbs, $7.50 for 10; $72.50 per 
100 . 
MARTAGON DALMATICUM. Strong growing, 
stately lily; the stems rise as tall as 6 feet, with 
correspondingly large flower clusters once the 
plant is happily established. The flowers are a 
deep vinous purple of waxy texture and shine as 
if varnished. Base-roots; fall planting, 6 inches 
deep; June flowering. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $4 each; $37.50 for 10. 
MONADELPHUM SZOVITZIANUM. One of 
the finest lilies and not difficult to grow. It 
reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet. The stems are 
stout and the numerous leaves are pale green. 
As many as twenty flowers are sometimes borne 
on one stem of established bulbs, forming pyra¬ 
mid-shaped clusters. 
The flowers are drooping, with the segments 
of a thick wax-like texture, regularly recurved. 
They vary from a pale citron-yellow to deep yel¬ 
low. The first season planted it sometimes does 
not show much growth above the ground, but 
the following season it will grow freely. 
Once established, it dislikes being tampered 
with. This beautiful and fine lily of gardens 
must not be confused with a variety called Mon- 
adelphum, which is collected in Russia and is 
inferior to Szovitzianum. Base-roots; fall plant¬ 
ing only, 4 inches deep; early June flowering. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $2 each; $17.50 for 
$10. Smaller, strong flowering bulbs, $10 for 10; 
$97.50 per 100. 
PARVUM LUTEUM. This beautiful lily is far 
too little known. It grows 4-5 feet high when

only; June-July flowering. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $6 for 10; $57.50 per 100. 
PYRENAICUM AUREUM. The Yellow Turk’s 
Cap Lily, which is of easy culture. The flowers 
are greenish yellow, spotted brown with red an¬ 
thers. Base-rooting. Plant in fall only, 5 inches 
deep; June flowering. Height, two to three feet. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $1.25 each; $10 for 
10; $97.50 per 100. 
PYRENAICUM RUBRUM. The scarlet form of 
the above. The flowers are spotted maroon. Ex¬ 
tra heavy, selected bulbs, $1.75 each; $15 for 10; 
$147.50 per 100. 
TENUIFOLIUM. A charming little early flower¬ 
ing lily with strongly recurved petals of waxy 
texture; deep scarlet. A gem in the rock garden 
as in the border. Likes a cool, damp loamy soil 
and partial shade. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 
7 inches deep; early June flowering. Extra se¬ 
lected bulbs, $3.25 for 10; $30 per 100. A smaller, 
good flowering bulb, $2.15 for 10; $19 per 100. 
TENUIFOLIUM GOLDEN GLEAM. A beauti¬ 
ful, robust, and a floriferous hybrid of this type, 
bearing numerous flowers of a pure apricot-yel¬ 
low. A very elegant and fine plant. Flowers 
splendidly every year and is always much ad¬ 
mired. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 7 inches 
deep; early June flowering. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $4 for 10; $37.50 per 100. A smaller, good 
flowering bulb, $2.50 for 10; $22.50 per 100. 
TESTACEUM. This beautiful lily is also known 
as “Excelsum” and as the “Nankeen Lily.” One 
of the choicest border lilies. The dull apricot 
tone, set off by orange anthers, puts it in a color 
class by itself. There is a tender warmth that 
must be allowed for when thinking of the color 
of this charming lily. It is the most graceful 
of all. 
It often grows from 5 to 6 feet high when 
established, and the horizontally poised heads of 
drooping flowers wave in a breeze in a graceful 
way. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use 
but loses effect, because of its tender coloring, if 
planted in a mixed border with brighter flowers. 
In combination with light-shaded Delphiniums 
or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles 
in the disposal of its leaves on the stem and in 
a certain grace of habit—it is most effective. It 
is also a good lily for pot culture. It has the 
texture of Lilium Candidum, with reflexed petals. 
It does well under the same conditions as Can¬ 
didum, and should be planted the same depth, 
two inches below the surface of the ground. Base- 
roots; fall planting only, 2 inches deep; June-July 
flowering. Extra heavy selected bulbs, $2 each; 
$17.50 for 10. Small, but good flowering bulbs, 
$1.25 each; $11 for 10; $100 per 100. 
UMBELLATUM. This group of lilies consists of 
Hybrids from Lilium elegans; they are free- 
flowering with large umbellate heads of flowers, 
easily grown. Stem rooting. Plant four inches 
deep, Fall planting only; June flowering.
