JULY-FLOWERING LILIES 
CENTIFOLIUM: Found in a cabbage garden by 
the late Mr. Reginald Farrer, in his first expedi¬ 
tion to China. In general appearance it resem¬ 
bles a huge Lilium Sulphureum or Brownii, with 
long tubular white flowers, colored and streaked 
externally with brown and flushed internally 
with yellow at the base of the trumpet. This is a 
giant amongst lilies, and has proved quite 
hardy. Fall planting only, 8 inches deep; July- 
flowering. See illustration. Extra selected bulbs, 
$4 each; $37.50 for 10. Smaller, strong flowering 
bulbs, $2 each; $17.50 for 10. 
DAVIDII: A fine lily from Western China, very 
graceful, with a tall slender stem, strong and 
erect and bearing up to 20 or more bright 
cinnabar-red, tiger-like flowers, copiously spot¬ 
ted with glossy black. It combines a very refined 
and elegant appearance with a splendid con¬ 
stitution and is one of the best summer flower¬ 
ing lilies we have. Height, 5 to 7 feet. Late July- 
flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant in either a sunny 
or partial shady position, 6 to 8 inches deep, in 
well-drained, sandy loam with leafmold. Extra 
selected bulbs. Each, $1. 
KELLOGGE: A rare and beautiful lily, growing 
2 to 3 feet high, bearing closely recurved pink 
flowers like those of the "Turks' Cap" lily. Very 
graceful and fragrant. It belongs to the Mar- 
tagon group and succeeds best on the outskirts 
of a woodland where the roots are shaded. Base- 
roots; fall planting only, about 5 inches deep; 
July-flowering. A few specimen bulbs, $2 each. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $1.50 each; $12.50 
for 10. Smaller, strong flowering bulbs, $9 for 10; 
$87.50 per 100. 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM MAGNIFICUM: 
Also known as "The Sunset Lily." A variety 
recently reintroduced, which we can recom¬ 
mend very highly. The very strong spikes reach 
a height from 6 to 8 feet with very large flowers, 
the outer petals being a scarlet-orange, the 
inner half bright orange, thickly dotted purplish 
brown. Extra selected bulbs. $7.50 for 10; $72.50 
per 100. A smaller strong-flowering bulb, $5 for 
10; $47.50 per 100. 
PARRYI: Distinct, beautiful; grows from 4 to 6 
feet high and the slender stems bear several fun¬ 
nel-shaped flowers of soft yellow, with conspic¬ 
uous brown anthers, delicately fragrant. A par¬ 
tially shaded place, sheltered from winds, and 
damp, well drained, peaty soil suits it well; 
easily cultivated but not a very strong grower. 
Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches deep; 
July-flowering. Selected bulbs, $2 each; $18 for 
10. Smaller, good flowering bulbs, $12.50 for 10. 
PRINCEPS: A very beautiful hybrid resulting 
from crossing Lilium Sargentice with Lilium Re¬ 
gale. The color is that of Lilium Regale, the stem 
is stouter and it is a more vigorous grower. It is 
really a glorified Lilium Regale, but flowers from 
2 to 3 weeks later. Stem-roots; fall or early 
spring planting; July-flowering. Extra selected 
bulbs, $5 each. A smaller, strong flowering bulb, 
$3 each; $27.50 for 10. 
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
