(Madonna Lily) 
The Madonna Lily is one of the loveliest of white Lilies, popular 
throughout the world, loved and admired by all. Its delightful fra- 
grance and lovely white flowers have made it a universal symbol of 
purity. Plant it in groups of three or more bulbs, close to the pale 
blue Delphinium Belladonna. It will be the loveliest spot in your 
garden during late June and early July. Madonna Lilies are simple 
to grow if you will plant in full sun and perfectly drained soil. Most 
Madonna Lilies are grown in France. Bulbs from the north of France 
are better than those grown in Southern France. We offer, therefore, 
northern French grown bulbs as follows: 
*Lilium Testaceum. 
Also known as “Excelsum” and as the “Nankeen Lily.” One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone, almost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use 
but because of its tender coloring, must not be planted in a mixed 
border with brighter flowers. In combination with light'shaded 
Delphiniums or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles, it is 
most effective. It has the texture of Lilium Candidum, with re- 
flexed petals and does well under the same conditions as Can- 
didum. Four to five feet high, June-July flowering. (Color illus-

TWO LILIES FOR INDOOR GROWING 
*Longiflorum Harrisi (Bermuda Easter Lily). 
Extra bulbs. 7 to 9 inch circum. This is the most popular size 
to grow as pot plants for decoration and equally as valuable for 
cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 flowers. 
$2.25 per 12; $16.00 per 100. 
Mammoth bulbs. 9 to 11 inch circum. These are usually grown 
for specimens in pots for exhibition and decorations. Each bulb 
should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. 
$4.75 per 12; $27.00 per 100. 
The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower 
renders it invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure 
waxy white, and if cut when partially open can be kept for two 
weeks. Bulbs potted in September can be had in flower in De- 
cember, if desired. A succession of bloom can be kept up through' 
out the winter by bringing in a few pots of bulbs from cold' 
frames at intervals. Blooming plants in pots are suitable for 
Easter offerings and presents. Bulbs ready for shipment—August 
to December. 
*Longiflorum giganteum (Japan Easter Lily). 
Extra bulbs. 9'10 inches. $2.50 per 12; $17.00 per 100. 
This Japanese type is highly thought of for late winter and Easter 
forcing—though the bulbs of this variety are often carried over 
in cold storage to be brought into bloom at any desired time the 
succeeding year. The plant is of sturdy stocky growth, with 
black marked stems. The flowers of purest white are the largest 
of the Longiflorums. For shipment—October to December.
