LILIES—Continued. 
Martagon album. Each, $1.00; $9.00 per 12. 
There are few more beautiful things than the white Martagon 
Lily. The appearance of these Lilies is graceful and delightful in 
the extreme. On slender stems 4 and 5 feet high, the numerous 
drooping, waxlike, white Turk’s Cap flowers, with yellow tipped 
stamens, look fascinating. The small flowers are symmetrical in 
shape, with reflexed petals and are borne in pyramid-shaped clus¬ 
ters. 
Monadelphum szovitzianum. Each, $1.00; $9.00 per 12. 
One of the finest Lilies and not difficult to grow. It reaches a 
height of 4 to 6 feet. As many as 20 flowers are borne on one 
stem of established bulbs, forming pyramid-shaped clusters. The 
flowers are drooping and of a thick waxlike texture, regularly re¬ 
curved. They vary from a pale citron-yellow to deep yellow. 
The first season planted, it sometimes does not show much growth 
above the ground, but the following season it will grow freely. 
It dislikes being transplanted. Early June flowering.

Rising to a height of 7 feet, carrying from 1 $ to 20 flowers with 
whorls of dark green leaves, the flowers begin to expand from 
the base of the clusters upward, producing a succession of ex¬ 
panded and opening flowers for 2 or 3 weeks. The petals are 
large, strongly recurved, deep orange, maroon spotted; tips of 
petals intense scarlet. Hardy and robust, does well in any good 
garden loam, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. July flow¬ 
ering.

which gives the flower a distinct and delicate appearance. (Color

One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in culti¬ 
vation—“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 fine foliage. 
Center of flower flushed with yellow, shading to white at the outer 
edges; externally the flowers are streaked with brown on the “ribs,” 
shaded through the almost translueent petals with a delightful pearly 
tint. (Color illustration, page 50). 
*RubelIum. Each, 40c; $4.00 per 12; $30.00 per 100. 
Beautiful small Lily. The color varies from a deep rose-pink to 
almost white, with yellow anthers; very fragrant, small, funnel- 
shaped flowers; grows V /2 feet high. It does best in light soil. 
*Speciosum. 
One of the greatest favorites as a border Lily; of daring as well 
as beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and are hand¬ 
somely spotted, often branded with distinct color. The style is 
thrown out in a curved line of much grace and strength. The 
stamens boldly diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous for 
their size and color and extremely delicate poise. In addition to 
all these attractive qualities, it has a strongly waved outline to 
the petals, which adds much to its beauty. It flowers through 
the late summer into autumn. The cultivation of this Lily is 
simple. It may be relied upon to prosper, sending up its flower¬ 
ing stems year after year in increasing numbers.
