Gigantcum himalaicum. The most maj*stic of Lilies, having stems 
10 to 12 feet high when established, with large, handsome, heart- 
shaped leaves and from July to August bearing immense, long, 
white, trumpet-shaped, sweet-scented flowers. Groups of this 
noble Lily in woodland or wild gardens produce a grand effect.

shallow. Each, $2.25.

*Hansoni. Most desirable, not particular in its cultural requirements 
and extremely handsome in flower; does well in light loam. Plant 
among low plants to protect young shoots, this being one of the 
earliest Lilies to appear in spring. Does as well in thin woodland 
as it does in the border. Height 4 to 5 feet, carrying blossoms

orange-yellow, spotted more or less with brown; of a waxy tex¬ 
ture. June flowering. Each, 40c; do?., $4.00; 100, $30.00.

very seldom. One of the best border Lilies, reaching over 8 feet 
and more in height when established, and bearing more than 20

in both light and heavy loam. A partially shaded place, sheltered 
from high winds, suits it best. It is a beautiful Lily. August- 
September flowering. Each, 40c; doz., $4.00; 100, $30.00.

*Japonicum. (Formerly listed as Krameri). 
This is one of the few “pink” Lilies of our gardens, and a very 
lovely thing it is. The flowers are carried horizontally on stems 
3 feet high. Somewhat capricious in its requirements. It is a 
Lily so beautiful and of a color so lovely and unusual that it is 
worth taking pains with. It has been known to give as many as 
7 blooms to a stem, though 1 and 2 flowers to a stem the first 
year is usual. The funnel-shaped, finely formed flowers are 6 
inches or more in length, and as much across, of a beautiful clear 
pink color often shaded blush. June-July flowering.

Lilium Testaceum. 
Martagon album. 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 
pyramidal-shaped clusters. The Martagon Lily does wonderfully 
well in the shade of trees, and the white variety is no exception 
in this respect. June flowering. Each, $1.75. 
Monadelphum szovitzianum. One of the finest Lilies and not diffi¬ 
cult to grow. It reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet. As many as 20 
flowers are borne on 1 stem of established bulbs, forming pyra¬ 
mid-shaped clusters. The flowers are drooping and of a thick 
waxlike texture, regularly recurved. 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 sea¬ 
son it will grow freely. It dislikes being transplanted. Early June 
flowering. Each, 75c; doz., $7.50. 
*Pardalinum californicum. Rising to a height of 7 feet, carrying from 
15 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 expanded 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 flowering. Each, 30c; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00.

with yellow throat, deep reddish brown externally; delightfully 
fragrant on 4-foot stem. Late July or early August flowering.
