Lilies—Continued. 
*Japonicum. (Formerly listed as Krameri). 
Each, 35c; $3.00 per 12; $20.00 per 100. 
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. Somewhat capricious in its requirements. It is a 
Lily so beautiful and of a color so lovely and unusual that it is 
worth taking pains with. It has been known to give as many as 
7 blooms to a stem, though 1 and 2 flowers to a stem the first 
year is usual. The funnel-shaped, finely formed flowers are 6 
inches or more in length, and as much across, of a beautiful clear 
pink color often shaded blush. June-July flowering. 
*Martagon. Each, 35c; $3.50 per 12; $25.00 per 100. 
Strong growing Lily, producing from 20 to 30 light spotted pur¬ 
ple flowers when established; very graceful, vigorous and florifer- 
ous. June-July flowering. 
Martagon album. Each, $1.50. 
There are few more beautiful things than the white Martagon 
Lily. The appearance of these Lilies is graceful and delightful in 
the extreme. On slender stems 4 and 5 feet high, the numerous 
drooping, waxlike, white Turk’s Cap flowers, with yellow tipped 
stamens, look fascinating. The small flowers are symmetrical in 
shape, with reflexed petals and are borne in pyramid-shaped clus¬ 
ters. The Martagon Lily does wonderfully well in the shade of 
trees, and the white variety is no exception in this respect. June 
flowering. 
Monadelphum szovitzianum. Each, 60c; $6.00 per 12. 
One of the finest Lilies and not difficult to grow. It reaches a 
height of 4 to 6 feet. As many as 20 flowers are borne on 1 stem 
of established bulbs, forming pyramid-shaped clusters. The flow¬ 
ers are drooping and of a thick waxlike texture, regularly re¬ 
curved. They vary from a pale citron-yellow to deep yellow. 
The first season planted, it sometimes does not show much 
growth above the ground but the following season it will grow 
freely. It dislikes being transplanted. Early June flowering. 
::: Pardalinum califomicum. Each, 25c; $2.00 per 12; $15.00 per 100. 
Rising to a height of 7 feet, carrying from 15 to 20 flowers with 
whorls of dark green leaves, the flowers begin to expand from 
the base of the clusters upward, oroducing a succession of ex¬ 
panded and opening flowers for 2 or 3 weeks. The petals are 
large, strongly recurved, deep orange, maroon spotted; tips of 
petals intense scarlet. Hardy and robust, does well in any good 
garden loam, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. July flow¬ 
ering.

throat, deep reddish brown externally; delightfully fragrant on 
4-foot stem. Late July or early August flowering. 
*Speciosum. 
One of the greatest favorites as a border Lily; of daring as well 
as beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and are hand¬ 
somely spotted, often branded with distinct color. The style is 
thrown out in a curved line of much grace and strength. The 
stamens boldly diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous for 
their size and color and extremely delicate poise. In addition to 
all these attractive qualities, it has a strongly waved outline to 
the petals, which adds much to its beauty. It flowers through 
the late summer into autumn. The cultivation of this Lily is 
simple. It may be relied upon to prosper, sending up its flower¬ 
ing stems year after year in increasing numbers.
