LILIES 
for Spring Planting 
LILIUM—TIGRINUM SPLENDENS 
— (Tiger Lily)— Because it is so 
widely cultivated in this country this 
lily has come to be looked upon as 
native, but it originally came from 
China and Japan. The flowers are 
orange, spotted purple, opening in 
August and September on 2-4 foot 
stems. Each, 15c; doz., $1.50'; 100, 
$12.00; prepaid 8-9 inch. 
LILIUM RE B ALE —T he large, 
trumpet-shaped flowers are snowy 
white, with a pure yellow center, 
while the exterior of the petals is 
slightly tinged pink. It is a strong 
grower, attaining the height of three 
or four feet. The flower, besides be¬ 
ing eminently beautiful, possesses a 
delightful fragrance. The bulb, 
which should be given good, sharp 
drainage (as should all lilies), is 
perfectly hardy, usually presenting a 
dried, shriveled appearance. Size 7-8 
inch 20c each; $2.25 doz., postpaid. 
LILIUM SPECIOSUM R U B R U M 
(Magnificum) (The Lance- -Leaved 
Lily)— The typical form is white, 
flushed pink, and heavily spotted 
with carmine. The stem is about 
four feet high and has fresh, green, 
lance-shaped leaves, and the frilly 
flowers face downward and careless¬ 
ly roll back their petals, while the 
stamens and pistil curl way out. A 
very beautiful lily, perfectly hardy, 
very seldom diseased, and a late 
August and early September bloomer. 
Plant the bulbs eight to ten inches 
deep. Size 8-9 inch, each, 25c; doz., 
$2.50', postpaid. 
LILIUM UMBELLATUM (Sub¬ 
species of Davuricum) —This group 
of lilies is of hybrid origin, resulting 
in crosses of the frail Lilium Davuri¬ 
cum (an Asiatic lily), with the Euro¬ 
pean species, Croceum, and Bulbi- 
ferum. They are early flowering, 
blooming during the first part of 
June. Usually attaining the height 
of two to three feet, they carry four 
to six flowers of cup-shape. Grandi- 
llorum— Orange red, very large flow¬ 
ers, freely produced. Each of above, 
25c; doz., $2.56; 100, $20.00; prepaid. 
LILIUM ELEGANS (Lilium Thun- 
bergianum) —A very beautiful group 
of showy Japanese Lilies flowering 
in June and July and growing 1% to 
2 feet high. This is a lily of easy 
culture, highly recommended for na¬ 
turalizing, and excellent for rock- 
gardens. Mixed Colors—Good range 
of Red and Yellows. 25c each; $2.25 
doz., postpaid.
