lcrter, pot and all, in the places set aside for them, 
giving them a little protection from the mid-day 
sun. See illustration. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $6 for 10; $57.50 per 100. A smaller, strong 
flowering bulb, $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
LILIUM x MARHAN: A fine hybrid resulting from 
crossing L. martagon album and L. L. Hansoni. 
Has the habit and form of L. Hansoni, with its 
characteristic thick petals. The color is a clear 
rich orange with reddish brown spots, darker 
than L. Hansoni. An exceptionally vigorous lily 
thriving in almost any soil. Height, 5 to 7 feet. 
June-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 8 inches 
deep in any well-drained garden soil with leaf- 
mold. Best in partial shade. Extra selected bulbs. 
Each, $3.50. 
LILIUM x MARHAN vctr. ELLEN WILLMOTT: 
A selected form of L. x Marhan with very large, 
richly colored flowers and very large pyramidal 
inflorescence. Extra selected bulbs. Each, $4. 
LILIUM x MARHAN var. G. F. WILSON: A very 
scarce and lovely form. Very large flowers, pale 
citron-yellow tinged with carmine at the tips 
of the petals and spotted with purple. Extra 
selected bulbs. Each, $5. 
MARTAGON: Strong growing lily, producing 
from twenty to thirty light spotted purple flow¬ 
ers when established; very graceful, vigorous 
and floriferous. Base rooting; fall planting only, 
6 inches deep. Extra selected bulbs, $3.50 for 
10; $32.50 per 100. 
MARTAGON ALBUM: There are few more beau¬ 
tiful things than the white Martagon Lily when 
seen in its best form and thriving in such a way 
as to reveal its full beauty. The appearance of 
these lilies is graceful and delightful in the ex¬ 
treme. Rising on slender stems, 4, 5, and some¬ 
times nearly 6 feet high, the numerous drooping, 
wax-like, white "Turk Cap" flowers, with yellow- 
tipped stamens, look inexpressibly fascinating. 
The small flowers are symmetrical in shape, with 
reflexed petals and are borne in terminal 
pyramid-shaped clusters. 
The white Martagon appears to flourish best 
where its lower growths have the benefit of the 
partial shade afforded by herbaceous plants or 
shrubs, and it never looks better than when 
springing through and towering over some of 
moderate vigor. They like loamy soil, but they 
are finest in cool and damp places. 
The Martagon lily does wonderfully well in 
the shade of trees, and the white variety is no 
exception in this respect. Few, if any stem-roots; 
fall planting only, 6 inches deep; June-flowering. 
See illustration. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $10 
for 10. Smaller, strong flowering bulbs, $7.50 for 
10; $72.50 per 100. 
MARTAGON DALMATICUM: Strong growing, 
stately lily; the stems rise as tall as 6 feet, with 
correspondingly large flower clusters once the 
plant is happily established. The flowers are a 
deep vinous purple of waxy texture and shine as 
if varnished. Base-roots; fall planting, 6 inches 
deep; June-flowering. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $4 each; $37.50 for 10. 
MONADELPHUM SZOVITZIANUM: One of the 
finest lilies when at its best. The stems are stout 
and the numerous leaves are pale green. As 
many as twenty flowers are sometimes borne on 
one stem of established bulbs, forming pyramid- 
shaped clusters. The flowers are drooping, with 
the segments of a thick wax-like texture, regu¬ 
larly recurved. They vary from a pale citron- 
yellow to deep yellow. The first season it may not 
show much growth above the ground, and it is 
somewhat capricious in its requirements; but 
once established its great beauty will be ample 
reward. It dislikes being tampered with. This 
beautiful and fine lily must not be confused with 
a variety called Monadelphum, which is col¬ 
lected in Russia and is inferior to Szovitzianum. 
Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches deep; 
June-flowering. See illustration. Extra heavy, 
selected bulbs, $2 each; $17.50 for $10. Smaller, 
strong flowering bulbs, $10 for 10; $97.50 per 100. 
PARVUM LUTEUM: This beautiful lily is far too 
little known. It grows 4-5 feet high when estab¬ 
lished and its clear deep yellow flowers are 
beautifully spotted. Base-roots; fall planting 
only; June-July flowering. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $6 for 10; $57.50 per 100.
