carolinianum. Carolina Lily. A showy Lily somewhat 
dwarfer than L. superbum, with flowers a little lighter 
in color, but enriched with a delicate and pervasive 
fragrance. It grows 2 to 4 feet high, and, in spite of its 
common name of Swamp Lily, thrives best in well- 
drained soil and in partial or even fairly dense shade. 
Its habit is peculiarly airy and graceful, the petals 
recurving sharply but not bent back so completely 
as L. superbum, so that the long, slender tips are fre¬ 
quently erect or barely touch each other.

spotted within. Exceedingly showy and continues to

superbum. American Turk’s-cap Lily. This is the tallest 
and most spectacular native Lily. Under favorable 
conditions it reaches 8 feet, bearing scores of 3 to 
4-inch flowers of brilliant orange-scarlet, shaded 
yellow and dotted and tinged with brown in the 
center. The petals curve backward sharply, forming 
a turban-shaped flower which accounts for its 
common name, the “Turk’s-cap Lily.’’ It particu¬ 
larly likes to stick its head up through an opening 
in overhanging shrubs. Blooms in July, and is 
easily adaptable to garden conditions. Early orders 
solicited. XX largest bulbs .
