LILIES FOR AUTUMN AND SPRING PLANTING 
L. Japonicum (L. Krameri) (Japan). One of the few pink lilies in cultivation. An 
exquisite trumpet-shaped species bearing from two to five choice blooms on 
stems from 2 to 4 feet high. The flowers vary from pale to deepest pink, 
6 inches or more in length. Fragrant. Best planted in a location protected 
from strong winds with partial shade and sharp drainage. Plant 6 to 8 
inches deep. July flowering. Selected bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Kulshan (Hybrid). A new hybrid lily introduced through the efforts of the late 
Dr. David Griffiths. This Humboldtii x Pardalinum cross is named after one 
of the mountains of the Bellingham, Washington, region. The plants carry 
spikes 5 to 6 feet high with 10 to 20 cadmium orange flowers densely spotted 
black. A fine garden lily having many of the best attributes of its parents. 
Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in partial shade. Flowering period, early July. 
Strong bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. Leichtlinii (Japan). A very handsome lily from Japan, the true form of which 
is rather rare. The plant carries large martagon type blooms of light yellow 
heavily spotted with purple. Not suitable for pot culture, due to the under¬ 
ground stems produced, which wander about before reaching the surface of 
the soil. One of the most lovely of the Japanese lilies but more difficult to 
establish than L. Maximowiczii which is often shipped out in its place. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 3 to 4 feet. August flowering. Flowering 
size bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Longiflorum (Japan). We list several forms of the well known florist's Easter 
lily, most of which are not only excellent for forcing, but are likewise easily 
established under out-door culture. The forms we list have, with the excep¬ 
tion of Albo Marginatum, proven hardy in New England. Under out-door 
culture the flowers are usually much larger than when greenhouse grown. 
We can furnish the following varieties from home-grown stock: 
L. Longiflorum Albo Marginatum. An unusual variety with bluish green leaves 
set off with wide white margin. Excellent for pot culture in a cool green¬ 
house and hardy in this climate. Height, 15 to 18 inches. For out-door 
planting, set the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep in a warm sunny situation. Flowers 
are pure white with golden anthers. Blooming period, July. Flowering 
size bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Longiflorum Formosum. Taller and earlier than Giganteum and superior for 
cutting. Our bulbs are of the black stemmed variety which carry immense 
trumpet shaped flowers, pure white within and stained purple without. 
Very fragrant. Height 3 to 5 feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep. Flowering 
period, June to July. Strong bulbs, 30c each, $3.00 dozen. Large bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Longiflorum Giganteum. The most popular form for Easter decoration and also 
a fine plant in the garden. Will carry from 6 to 10 large flowers of great 
substance. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in well drained situation. Blooms 
slightly later than Formosum. Height 2 to 3 feet. Medium size bulbs, 30c 
each, $3.00 dozen. Large size bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Longiflorum Nobile. Often referred to as an improved Giganteum, this is a 
vigorous form distinguished by its broad dark green foliage. The flowers 
are more tubular than in the other forms and are often 7 or more inches in 
length. Height 2 to 3 feet. July flowering. Plant 8 inches deep. Strong 
bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen.
