Giganteum ( The Himalayas), the most majestic of Lilies, having stems 10 to 12 ft. high 
when established, with large handsome heart-shaped leaves, and bearing in July immense 
long white trumpet-shaped sweet-scented flowers with narrow crimson band down centre 
of petals. Groups of thus noble Lily in woodland or wild gardens produce a grand effect. 
Established bulbs produce the finest heads of bloom. It thrives best planted in semi¬ 
shade where there is an abundance of leaf soil and plenty of moisture in the ground. Plant 
the bulbs with tops level with the surface in a rich but well-drained soil and give a covering 
of dried heather or leaves during Winter. After flowering the bulb breaks up into several 
small bulbs, which should be lifted in autumn and planted in their permanent quarters, 
where they will then attain flowering size in about 3 years. 
Bulbs according to size, each 4/6, 5/6, 7/6, 10/6 & 
1 bulb each of 4 sizes, giving a succession of bloom for 3 or 4 years, 25/-.
