L. Speciosum Rubrum 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM 
This grand lily ranks next to auratum 
in favor among the lilies of Japan. Ad¬ 
ditionally, it has the advantage of a 
stronger constitution which makes for 
ease of culture and dependability. Un¬ 
fortunately, many of the imported blubs 
are diseased. Our home-grown, selected 
stock will be found superior in every 
way. Large, recurving flowers, promi¬ 
nently blotched with color ranging from 
pink to carmine on a white ground. 
Plant 8 inches deep. 4 to 5 feet. Septem- 
ber-October. 
50c each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5.00. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM—Large reflexing pure 
white flowers blooming in late August 
and September. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. 
Height 4 to 5 feet. Home grown bulbs, 
75c each, 3 for $2.00, 12 for $7.50. 
SULPHUREUM—This lovely species from the 
mountains of Burma is one of the world’s 
best lilies. From one to several large 
trumpet flowers of great substance are 
borne on wiry stems. The name is indica¬ 
tive of the color—sulfur yellow. The 
[ 8 ] 
fragrance is very sweet. Being one of the 
last of the trumpet lilies to flower, it lends 
its distinctive charm to the gardens of 
late summer and early autumn. Prefers a 
sandy leaf-soil. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep. 
Protect in cold climates with a heavy 
mulch in winter. 4 to 0 feet. August- 
September.
