Philadelphicum. A fine lily native to 
our eastern states. The cup shaped 
flowers are of large size and carried 
1—6 to a stalk. The orange colored 
flowers shade to scarlet at the tips 
and are rather heavily spotted, pre¬ 
fers shade and some low herbage to 
cover the ground.

Philippinense Formosanum (See Formosanum). 
Pomponium. A native of Italy this 
lovely lily resembles Chalcedonicum 
but blooms much earlier. Seems to 
prefer a heavy soil with some grit 
added and likes lime.50 5.00 
Pride of Charlotte. A truly superb 
new Lilium raised in the cold region 
of Northern Vermont. One which 
has stood the test of severe winters 
and hot summers and has come 
through unscathed when many re¬ 
gales, Sargentiaes and other vari¬ 
eties suffered severely. It flowers in 
late July and is a very sturdy grower 
with trumpets rather more con¬ 
stricted than those of regale but 
much longer. The inner portion of 
the trumpet is white with a soft sul¬ 
phury suffusion, the outer part re¬ 
sembles Sargentiae of which this is 
a very much glorified form. It pro¬ 
duces large dark colored bulbils 
abundantly, these starting to bloom 
the second year. It also seeds quite 
freely. 
Strong flowering bulbs. 1.50—3.00 each 
Princeps. A hybrid between regale 
and Sargentiae and in our estima¬ 
tion better than either parent. This 
superb lily was raised at the Domin¬ 
ion Experimental Farms, Ottawa, 
Ontario. It greatly extends the re¬ 
gale season as it flowers nearly a 
month later, the immense trumpets 
are larger and purer than those of 
regale, the exterior of the trumpet 
having hardly any trace of the 
brownish purple coloring seen in re¬ 
gale, being green and white.

Pyrenaicum. The yellow turks cap 
lily from Europe blooms with tenui- 
folium in early June carrying many 
small greenish yellow flowers with 
brown spots. The foliage is grace¬ 
ful. Bulbs are large and should be 
covered 6 inches.50 5.00 
Pyrenaicum Rubrum. A red form of 
the foregoing.75, 7.50 per doz. 
Regale. Easily the most widely 
planted and popular lily in America 
today. Succeeds under widely dif¬ 
ferent conditions and is hardy, vigor¬ 
ous, floriferous, disease proof and 
absolutely dependable. The fra¬ 
grant flowers have a delicate pink 
suffusion with a sulphury throat, ex¬ 
ternally the colorings show reddish
