LILIES FOR AUTUMN AND SPRING PLANTING 
L. Elegans Red Improved. Terra cotta red flowers lightly spotted dark mahog¬ 
any. A taller growing form which is fine for cutting. Blooming period, June 
to July. Height 18 to 24 inches. 25c each, $2.50 dozen. 
L. Elegans Semi Pleno. Deep red, large, semi-double flowers. A low growing 
form which is quite rare and unusual. Height 9 inches. Blooming period, 
June to July. 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Formosanum (Formosa). This lily was originally listed as L. Philippinense 
Formosanum but has recently been accorded specific rank and the name 
changed as above. We list two varieties of this exceedingly fine lily which 
is undoubtedly the most remarkable introduction in recent years. 
Late Variety (Wilson's). A superior form of the trumpet lily which is fast be¬ 
coming one of our most popular species. Developed by Japanese hybridizers 
from their whitest flowering strains. The flowers are pure white with an 
emerald-green throat and are shaded externally with violet. Bears up to 
eight flowers on stems 4 to 6 feet tall. Fragrant. One of the latest to 
flower, blooming from September to October. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in 
well drained lime free loam, rich in leaf mold. A warm, sunny situation 
suits it best. Makes a small bulb for the size of the plant. 30c each, 
$3.00 dozen. 
Early Variety (Price's). A very hardy low growing form rarely more than one 
foot high. Flowers similar to the late type, but blooming during July and 
August. Same culture as late variety. Choice bulbs, 30c each, $3.00 dozen. 
L. Giganteum Himalaicum (Himalayas). The tallest growing and undoubtedly 
the most imposing of all lilies. The flower spikes will attain a height of 10 
to 12 feet and well grown specimens will carry from 25 to 30 immense white 
trumpet shape flowers, densely spotted purple on the inside of the throat. 
This lily makes an extremely large bulb which should be planted very 
shallow, the top of the bulb being barely covered with soil. Should be 
situated in a woodland location as it does not do well in the open border. 
Protect from strong winds. The flowering size bulbs being difficult to trans¬ 
plant, we offer bulbs to flower one year hence. $2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. 
L. Grayi (Eastern United States). A native lily from the mountains of Virginia and 
North Carolina somewhat resembling L. Canadense but with smaller funnel- 
shaped orange red flowers densely spotted with brownish purple. Best 
grown in partial shade, although it will do quite well in full sun. Plant 4 
inches deep in a moist but well drained situation. Height 2 to 4 feet. 
Blooming period, July. Flowering size bulbs, 40c each, $4.00 dozen. 
L. Hansonii (Korea). A handsome and dependable lily bearing from 6 to 12 
nodding Martagon type flowers of a rich orange cadmium color with dark 
mahogany spots. The foliage is carried in whorls every few inches up the 
stem. An easily grown species which is at its best in partial shade. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in well drained soil. Blooming period, 
June to July. Large selected bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen. Strong bulbs, 
40c each, $4.00 dozen. 
L. Henryi (China). A fine Chinese species often referred to as the "orange speci- 
osum". Extremely hardy, vigorous and dependable. The stems carry bright 
golden yellow reflexed flowers spotted brown, often more than 20 to each 
plant. Excellent for cutting. Height 5 to 8 feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in 
partial shade with good drainage but plenty of moisture during the growing 
season. Blooming period, August to September. Flowering size bulbs, 25c
