throughout the world, loved and admired by all. Its delightful fra¬ 
grance and lovely white flowers have made it a universal symbol of 
purity. Plant it in groups of three or more bulbs, close to the pale 
blue Delphinium Belladonna. It will be the loveliest spot in your

garden during late June and early July. Madonna Lilies are simple 
to grow if you will plant in full sun and perfectly drained soil. Most 
Madonna Lilies are grown in France. Bulbs from the north of 
France are better than those grown in Southern France. We offer, 
therefore, northern French grown bulbs as follows: 
‘^SPECIALLY HARDY RUSSIAN STOCK 
Grown for The Wayside Gardens exclusively. This strain is very 
hardy and rugged, available only in a limited number of bulbs.

TWO LILIES FOR INDOOR GROWING 
*Longiflorum Harrisi (Bermuda Easter Lily). 
Extra bulbs. 7 to 9 inch circum. This is the most popular size 
to grow as pot plants for decoration and equally as valuable for 
cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 flowers. 
$2.50 per 12; $18.00 per 100. 
Mammoth bulbs. 9 to 11 inch circum. These are usually grown 
for specimens in pots for exhibition and decorations. Each bulb 
should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 
$4.00 per 12; $30.00 per 100. 
The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower ren¬ 
ders it invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure 
waxy white, and if cut when partially open can be kept for 2 
weeks. Bulbs potted in September can be had in flower in De¬ 
cember, if desired. A succession of bloom can be kept up through¬ 
out the winter by bringing in a few pots of bulbs from cold- 
frames at intervals. Blooming plants in pots are suitable for 
Easter offerings and presents. Bulbs ready for shipment—August 
to December. 
*Longiflorum giganteum (Japan Easter Lily). 
Extra bulbs. 9-10 inches. $3.00 per 12; $20.00 per 100. 
This Japanese type is highly thought of for late winter and Easter 
forcing—though the bulbs of this variety are often carried over 
in cold storage to be brought into bloom at any desired time the 
succeeding year. The plant is of sturdy stocky growth, with 
black marked stems. The flowers of purest white are the largest 
of the Longiflorums. For shipment—October to December. 
TWO EXCEPTIONALLY FINE GARDEN LILIES 
*Philippinense formosanum. Each, 25c; per 12, $2.00; 100, $15.00. 
Not unlike the Regale Lily in general appearance. The slender 
stem is covered with the same grassy foliage of the Regale Lily. 
The substantial blooms are trumpet like, in fact, they are long 
lovely white flowers with a beautiful pale emerald-green throat 
which gives the flower a distinct and delicate appearance. They 
commence blooming in early August and flower until stopped by 
frost. Bulbs when established will produce 3 to 4 spikes each 
with 4 or 5 blooms. It is a most liberal flowering Lily, to all of 
which may be added that they are among the easiest grown. 
If properly planted about 4 inches deep in well-drained sandy 
soil and given a little covering during the winter they will safely 
go through the coldest weather. August to November flowering. 
Height 3 to 4 feet. 
*Testaceum. Top size bulbs, each, 75c; per 12, $8.25. 
Fine first size bulbs, each, 60c; per 12, $6.50. 
Also known as “Excelsum” and as the “Nankeen Lily. One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone, almost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use 
but because of its tender coloring, must not be planted in a mixed 
border with brighter flowers. In combination with light-shaded 
Delphiniums or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles, it is 
most effective. It has the texture of Lilium Candidum, with re¬ 
flexed petals and does well under the same conditions as Can¬ 
didum. Four to five feet high, June-July flowering. 
£ ilium ^Tlecjale 
(*The Regal or Royal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in culti¬ 
vation—“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 fine foliage. 
Center of flower flushed with yellow, shading to white at the outer 
edges; externally the flowers are streaked with brown on the “ribs,” 
shaded through the almost translucent petals with a delightful pearly 
tint; the contrast between the 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 18 and 20 flowers during the season. They succeed in any 
good, rich garden soil, that is well drained. Because Regal Lilies 
flower so easily from small inexpensive bulbs, we offer this variety 
in many sizes, to suit everyone’s purse. We recommend, however, 
sizes 6-7 inch, 7-8 inch, and 8-9 inch circumference.
