PARDALINUM ROEZLII. Bright yellow flow¬ 
ers, dotted in the center with purplish brown, 
borne in a pyramid-shaped cluster. Base-roots; 
fall planting only, 4 inches deep; July-flowering. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $9 for $10; $87.50 per 
100. A smaller strong flowering bulb, $5 for 10; 
$47.50 per 100. 
PARRYI. Distinct, beautiful; grows from 4 to 6 
feet high and the slender stems bear several fun¬ 
nel-shaped flowers of soft yellow, with conspic¬ 
uous brown anthers, delicately fragrant. 
A partially shaded place, sheltered from winds, 
and damp, well drained, peaty soil suits it well; 
easily cultivated but not a very strong grower. 
Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches deep; 
July-flowering. Selected bulbs, $2 each ; $18 for 10. 
Smaller, good flowering bulbs, $12.50 for 10. 
PRINCEPS. A very beautiful hybrid resulting 
from crossing Lilium Sargentiae with Lilium Re¬ 
gale. The color is that of Lilium Regale, the stem 
is stouter and it is a more vigorous grower than 
Lilium Regale. It is really a glorified Lilium 
Regale, but flowers from 2 to 3 weeks later. Stem- 
roots; fall or early spring planting; July-flower¬ 
ing. Extra selected bulbs, $5 each. A smaller, 
strong flowering bulb, $3 each; $27.50 for 10. 
REGALE (The Regal or Royal Lily). One of the 
most beautiful, and one of the hardiest lilies in 
cultivation—“Lilium Regale” is truly a Royal 
Lily, worthy of a place in every garden; it is a 
lover of loam and sunshine. 
A vigorous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 
feet high, densely covered with long, linear-lance¬ 
olate foliage. Center of flower flushed with yel¬ 
low, shading to white at the outer edges; exter¬ 
nally the flowers are streaked with brown on the 
“ribs,” shaded through the almost translucent 
petals with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast 
between the rich wine color of the reverse of 
the petals and the gold shading of 'the throat is 
extraordinarily beautiful. 
The Regal Lily is very floriferous and, when 
thoroughly established, bears as high as eighteen 
and twenty flowers during the season. Like most 
all other lilifs, especially the stem-rooting vari¬ 
eties, they should be planted deep—at least 9 
inches, should have good drainage, and when 
growing they should be watered copiously with 
liquid manure as they are gross feeders. They 
succeed in any good rich garden Soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps of 
5 to 25 bulbs, they are especially attractive among 
the Delphiniums and other July-flowering peren¬ 
nials. Where these magnificent lilies are planted 
in quantity, the air in the cool of the morning 
and in the evening is laden with a delicious per¬ 
fume, exhaled from every blossom.

Where possible we suggest planting the Regal 
Lily in the fall. In the past, Regal Lilies have 
been scarce; we now produce excellent stock our¬ 
selves, carefully rogued as to trueness of type; 
being desirous of making these fine Lilies avail¬ 
able to all gardens, we offer them in three sizes, 
the smallest of which will flower the first season. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $10 for $10; $97.50 
per 100. 
Heavy bulbs, $7 for 10; $67.50 per 100. 
Strong, good flowering bulbs, $4 for 10; $37.50 
per 100. 
SARGENTI2E. A magnificent introduction from 
China, vigorous and floriferous. The flowers are 
funnel-shaped, milk-white internally with yellow 
throat, deep reddish brown externally; delight¬ 
fully fragrant, on four foot stem. In the very 
front rank of hardy lilies. Flowers about three 
weeks later than Regale. Readily succeeds in any 
good rich soil. 
Stem-roots; plant in fall or early spring 9 
inches deep; late July or early August-flowering. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $2 each, $17.50 for 
10. Small, strong flowering bulbs, $12 for 10. 
SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable lily 
varies from pale yellow to deep crimson, more 
or less spotted on the inner surface of the petals. 
Valuable as a late-flowering lily. Fine estab¬ 
lished specimens often reach a height of 10 feet 
and more, bearing from twenty to thirty ele¬ 
gantly reflexed flowers, arranged in large, cone¬ 
like clusters. 
Does well in ordinary garden soil if given good 
drainage, partial shade and a ground cover; pre¬ 
fers a damp situation. Plant in large clumps or 
masses. Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches 
deep; July-flowering. Selected bulbs, $5.50 for 
10; $52.50 per 100. A smaller, good flowering 
bulb, $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
WILLMOTTI.3L This beautiful lily was intro¬ 
duced from China and has proved to be of strong 
and vigorous constitution. Ordinarily it grows 
to a height of four feet and bears as high as 20 
flowers on a stem; but it has reached a height of 
6 to 7 feet and carried as many as forty or more 
flowers on a stem when established. 
These are three inches across of a vivid orange- 
red ; the recurved petals are covered with numer¬ 
ous small brown spots. The slender foliage is a 
deep rich green and the whole plant is of a dis¬ 
tinct and graceful habit. It is so floriferous as 
to need staking if planted in a windy situation. 
Stem-rooting; plant in fall or early spring, 8 
inches deep; July-flowering. Extra strong bulbs, 
$9 for 10. Smaller, good flowering bulbs, $7 for 
10; $67.50 per 100.
