Lily Bulbs 
Lilium Vaughani 
Has the large flowers of the Giganteum type coupled with the 
blooming qualities of Erabu. The foliage is closely set, all the way 
up the stem, and it does not lose its foliage near the pot. In appear¬ 
ance, it is sturdier, and a better pot plant. The percentage of flow¬ 
ers from a 7 to 9-inch bulb is higher than any other type of 
Giganteum. 
7 to 9-inch (300 bulbs to case). 
8 to 10-inch (225 bulbs to case). 
9 to 10-inch (200 bulbs to case).

Lilium Giganteum 
Owing to the unsettled condition of the Foreign Exchange, 
at the time this catalog goes to press, we are not pricing this item. 
Our northern grown stock will again come from the same selected 
fields as last season. Again this year the Japanese government Inspec¬ 
tors are pulling out all poor looking plants. Our customers may 
depend not only upon the best market prices, but on guaranteed 
grading—a vital point. Our arrangements in Japan provide for 
selection of sound, well-shaped bulbs. Crescent-shaped, malformed 
and undersized bulbs are taken out. If any of our cases reach you 
with undergraded or inferior lily bulbs in them, ask us at once for 
disposition.

Lilium Erabu 
Cold Storage 10 Days 
Growers must not force Erabu in great heat. A cool house, 
60 to 65 degrees, with plenty of moisture is better, but they will 
certainly do best when grown in pots so they can be shifted into 
sections representing varying heights to give proper light and 
watering. 
N. B.—Ten days in cold storage before planting is sure to 
benefit the crop. 100 Case

Lilium Regale 
The flowers are white, shading to yellow in the center, with a pink 
tinge on the outer edges. A strong grower, some 3 or 4 feet high. 
It is deliciously scented, and its extreme hardiness makes it a valuable 
lily for outdoor planting.
