FOR GARDEN AND WOODLAND 
When the yellow lily flowers in the meadows, and the red in 
dry land and by wood paths, then, methinks, the flowering 
season has reached its height. 
—THOREAU 
CO that you may succeed with these inspiring plants and to obviate disappointments we offer 
from a host of varieties, the limited few that will succeed in American gardens under ordinary 
care, selected after many years of experimenting and careful study. 
No varieties other than those appearing in this list should be planted in spring. 
There are many other exquisite kinds with which we succeed, but they should only be planted in 
the autumn. They will be offered in our next edition of "Beauty From Bulbs" to be issued May 15th. 
HENRYI: An invaluable garden plant, vigorous 
in its growth, failing but very seldom. One of 
the best border Lilies, reaching over 8 feet and 
more in height when established, and bearing 
more than twenty flowers of a rich, deep, 
orange-yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in both 
light and heavy loam, but prefers soil with a 
mixture of peat. Plant very deep, 10 inches. A 
partially shaded place, sheltered from high 
winds, suits it best. It is a beautiful Lily to grow 
under glass, where it has produced flowers 
measuring over 8 inches in diameter. Stem- 
roots. August-September flowering. Special 
stock, $9 for 10; $20 for case of 25; $38 for case 
of 50; $75 per 100. A smaller size, good flowering 
bulb may be had at $5.75 for 10; $55 per 100., 
Smaller, but strong flowering bulbs, $35 per 100. 
REGALE (The Regal or Royal Lily): One of the 
most beautiful, and one of the hardiest Lilies in 
cultivation—"Lilium Regale" is truly a royal 
Lily worthy of a place in every garden. It is a 
lover of loam and sunshine. 
A vigorous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 
feet high, densely covered with long, linear- 
lanceolate foliage. Center of flower flushed with 
yellow, shading to white at the outer edges; 
externally the flowers are streaked with brown 
on the "ribs," shaded through the almost trans¬ 
lucent petals with a delightful pearly tint; the 
contrast between the rich wine color of the 
reverse of the petals and the gold shading of 
the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. See 
illustrations. 
Like most all other Lilies, especially the stem- 
rooting varieties, they should be planted deeply 
—at least 9 inches, should have good drainage, 
and when growing they should be watered 
copiously with liquid manure as they are gross 
feeders. They succeed in any good, rich garden 
soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps 
of 5 to 25 bulbs, they are especially attractive 
among the Delphiniums and other July flower¬ 
ing perennials. Where these magnificent Lilies 
are planted in quantity, the air in the cool of 
the morning, and in the evening, is laden with 
delicious perfume, exhaled from every blossom. 
Because of the great demand for bulbs of Regal 
Lilies, millions have been grown from seed and 
consequently many inferior types are produced. 
We grow our own Regal Lilies, carefully 
selected as to finest type. 
Extra heavy bulbs for immediate quality 
effect, $7 for 10; $67.50 per 100. Large flowering 
bulbs, $4 for 10; $37.50 per 100. Smaller bulbs of 
good size that will flower luxuriantly after they 
have become established, $18 per 100. 
Every spring we have a few hundred enor¬ 
mous bulbs which we offer at $10 for 10; $97.50 
per 100. 
SPECIOSUM: Originally a native of Korea, de¬ 
servedly one of the greatest favorites as a bor¬ 
der plant, of daring as well as beautiful form. 
The petals are well rolled back and are hand¬ 
somely spotted, often branded with distinct 
color. The style is thrown out in a curved line 
of much grace and strength. The stamens bold¬ 
ly diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous 
for their size and color and extremely delicate 
poise. In addition to all these attractive qualities 
it has a strongly waved outline to the petals, 
which adds much to its beauty. It flowers 
through the late summer into autumn.
