WAYSIDE GARDENS 
* Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
The Philippinense Lily is not unlike the Regale Lily in general 
appearance. The slender stem is covered with the same grassy fo- 
liage of the Regale Lily. The substantial blooms are trumpetdike, in 
fact, they are long lovely white flowers with a beautiful pale emerald- 
green throat which gives the flower a distinct and delicate appear¬ 
ance. They commence blooming in early August and flower until 
stopped by frost. Bulbs when established will produce 3 to 4 spikes 
each with 4 or 5 blooms. It is a most liberal flowering Lily, to all 
of which may be added that they are among the easiest grown. If 
properly planted about 4 inches deep in well drained sandy soil and 
given a little covering during the winter they will safely go through 
the coldest weather. August to November flowering. Height 3 to 4 
feet. 
Each, 30c; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00. 
Lilium Regale 
(The Regal or Royal Lily) 
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 translucent petals with a delightful pearly 
tint; the contrast between the color of the reverse of the petals and 
the gold shading of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. The Regal 
Lily is very floriferous and when thoroughly established, bears as 
high as 18 and 20 flowers during the season. They succeed in any 
good, rich garden soil, that is well drained. Because Regal Lilies 
flower so easily from small inexpensive bulbs, we offer this variety 
in many sizes, to suit everyone’s purse. We recommend, however, 
sizes 6-7 inch, 7-8 inch, and 8-9 inch circumference. (Color illus¬

Lilium Regale. 
Lilium 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 qual¬ 
ities, 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 flowering stems year after year in increasing numbers. 
::: Speciosum album. Beautiful, snow-white flowers with a golden green 
stripe through the center of each petal, and anthers of a coppery 
tint. Alike in the form of the flower and in the way of growing, 
this Lily is one of the most beautiful we have. 
Large bulbs. 8-9 in. circum. Each, 35c; doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00. 
Mam. bulbs. 9-11 in. circum. Each, 45c; doz., $4.50; 100, $35.00. 
:!: Speciosum magnificum. (Rubrum Improved). Rich ruby-carmine, 
margined white; stout of substance and broad of petals. This 
variety stands out prominently on account of its vigorous growth 
as well as the size and depth of coloring. (Color illustration, page 
N). 
Large bulbs. 9-11 in. circum. Each, 30c; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00.

*Speciosum Melpomene. The delicate beauty of the finer colored 
flowers makes this variety most desirable. Deep carmine-crimson, 
intensified by a narrow margin of white. 
Large bulbs. 9-11 in. circum. Each, 35c; doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00.

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, put it in a 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 reflexed petals and does well under 
the same conditions as Candidum. Four to five feet high. June-July 
flowering. Order Testaceum now for September delivery. 
Top size bulbs. Each, $1.00; doz., $10.00. 
Fine first size bulbs. Each, 75c; doz., $7.50.
