Elegans Red Star. Splendid red, suf¬

Formosanum (Philippinense Formo- 
sanum). We are now using the 
European name for this fine lily, as 
bulbs of this hardy form are from 
Formosa and not the Philippines the 
older name should be dropped. This 
is the most remarkable lily intro¬ 
duced in late years, its ease of cul¬ 
ture with its facility of increase 
from seeds makes it come within 
the range of everyone with a gar¬ 
den. Seeds sown early will produce 
flowering plants easily the same 
year. Has a wiry stem, long grace¬ 
ful leaves, trumpets are much longer 
and narrower than those of regale 
but similar in color, there is a pure 
white form favored for forcing but 
outdoors we much prefer the variety 
with the exterior of the trumpets 
pleasingly colored. Heavy stem 
rooter. 
Early Variety. This starts bloom¬ 
ing outdoors as regale finishes, plant 
8 inches deep. Height 2-214 feet. 
Late Variety. Blooms from mid- 
August until late October, grows 
taller than the early variety, some¬ 
times 6-8 feet. Price of both forms 
.30 each, 3.00 doz., 20.00 per 100 
Grayi. Named in honor of Prof. Asa 
Gray, the noted botanist. Coming 
to us from the mountains of Virginia 
and North Carolina, this lovely and 
graceful lily takes kindly to garden 
culture in New England. The 
pretty red tubular shaped flowers 
are yellow, spotted brown and are 
very freely produced. Prefers some 
shade like many other lilies, but 
thrives well in full sunshine. 
.35 each, 3.50 doz., 25.00 per 100 
Giganteum Himalaicum. Not to be 
confounded with the form of longi- 
florum going under the name of gi¬ 
ganteum, this is the tallest growing 
and most noble of all lilies. Not a 
plant for the open garden, the ideal 
place for it is in an open glade in a 
piece of woodland where it can be 
sheltered from strong winds. The 
large bulbs should be planted shal¬ 
low in soft mucky ground in which 
coarse sand has been freely mixed. 
Spring planting is best. The large 
tubular shaped flowers are semi¬ 
pendant and pure white in color with
