HARDY BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
SECTION 2 
All bulbs described and listed in the following pages should be 
planted in the fall. Indeed, some, such as Spanish, Dutch and Eng¬ 
lish Irises, Daffodils, Tulips, and some varieties of Lily bulbs can 
only be planted in the fall. (The Madonna or Candidum Lily should 
only be planted during August, and not later than September; they 
cannot be planted successfully in the spring.) Some lily varieties 
such as the Regales, Auratum, and the Japanese Speciosum, may 
also be planted in early spring, but fall planting is best. 
Grow More Lilies! 
“I placed it in the earth — this bulb of mine— 
And from its narrow prison house of night 
It struggled forth to reach the air and light 
And as it rose and blossomed to the sight 
Its absolute perfection seemed divine.” 
LILIUM REGALE 
Introduced from Western China by Mr. E. H. Wilson. It is hardly 
necessary to sing the praises of Lilium Regale, for is it not gener¬ 
ally regarded as the finest of all garden Lilies of recent introduc¬ 
tion? It is very bold and vigorous.

40c; i/ 3 oz. 75c; 1 oz. $1.00. 
THE CORAL LILY (Lilium tenuifolium) . A perfect little darling 
from Siberia. You know it’s “got” to be hardy when its home is 
in the land of snows. This is about as dainty a little flower as 
could be imagined. The color is bright coral-red. The stems sel¬ 
dom grow more than a foot and a half high; often not more than 
a foot, which makes it a charming addition to the rock garden. 
It blooms real early in the summer and has up to a dozen nod¬ 
ding little blooms to the stem. Plant in the fall or very early 
LILIUM CANDIDUM (The Madonna or St. Joseph’s Lily) 
spring months. Not for sale after April 15th. 2-year-old bulbs, 
3 for 45c; 6 for 80c; $1.50 per doz., postpaid. It seems that some 
gardeners think that the larger the bulb the better it is. In some 
varieties this is not at all true and the Coral is one of those, for 
the older this bulb is the sooner it will disappear. If the seed- 
pods are picked off when the flower wilts, the bulbs are supposed 
to last longer. 
THE CORAL LILY is easily grown from seeds. Pkt. 20c; special 
large pack 40c. 
LILIUM CANDIDUM (The MADONNA or ST. JOSEPH’S LILY). 
A perfectly hardy, lovely Lily that succeeds well in every garden. 
To appreciate its full beauty, the bulbs should stay in the ground 
for several years. Strong flowering bulbs. Plant this lily in 
August—September the very latest—very shallow. It should not 
be planted at any other time.

L. HENRYI (the orange-yellow Speciosum). Too much cannot be 
said in praise of this new Lily. Its constitution is of the hardiest; 
it is very free-flowering, reaching six feet or more in height when 
established, and bearing over 20 flowers, which are of a rich, deep 
orange-yellow, very telling in point of color and well set off by 
the deep green foliage. The fact that it is seen doing well in so 
many gardens shows its sound constitution and good flowering 
qualities. It is one of the best Lilies ever introduced, and one 
which we confidently recommend. (Aug.-Sept.) Grand bulbs, 8 to 
9 inches circumference, 35c each postpaid; 20c each by express, 
charges collect. Largest size, 10 to 12-inch circumference, 50c

CAMASSIA LEICHTLINI. Deep blue. It is a fine plant that may

of the finest, even form, star-shaped, and as large as an inch 
and a half across. It flowers in long succession. 90c per doz. 
postpaid. By express, charges collect, $7.00 per 100; 50 at same 
rate.
