L. Elegans (Mixed). For cutting we offer a mixture of the above varieties in 
blooming size stock at an extremely low price of $15.00 per 100. 
We cannot accept orders for less than 25 bulbs of this mixture. 
L. Formosanum (Formosa). This lily was originally listed as L. Philippinense 
Formosanum but has recently been accorded specific rank and the name 
changed as above. We list two varieties of this exceedingly fine lily which 
is undoubtedly the most remarkable introduction in recent years. 
Late Variety (Wilson's). A superior form of the trumpet lily which is fast be¬ 
coming one of our most popular species. Developed by Japanese hybridizers 
from their whitest flowering strains. The flowers are pure white with an 
emerald-green throat and are shaded externally with violet. Bears up to 
eight flowers on stems 4 to 6 feet tall. Fragrant. One of the latest to 
flower, blooming from September to October. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in 
well drained lime free loam, rich in leaf mold. A warm, sunny situation 
suits it best. Makes a small bulb for the size of the plant. Flowering size, 
25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Selected bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen, 
$26.00 per 100. 
Early Variety (Price's). A very hardy low growing form rarely more than one 
foot high. Flowers similar to the late type, but blooming during July and 
August. Same culture as late variety. Choice bulbs, 30c each, $3.00 dozen, 
$22.00 per 100. 
L. Giganteum Himalaicum (Himalayas). The tallest growing and undoubtedly 
the most imposing of all lilies. The flower spikes will attain a height of 10 
to 12 feet and well grown specimens will carry from 25 to 30 immense white 
trumpet shape flowers, densely spotted purple on the inside of the throat. 
This lily makes an extremely large bulb which should be planted very 
shallow, the top of the bulb being barely covered with soil. Should be 
situated in a shady woodland location as it does not do well in the open 
border. Protect from strong winds. After flowering L. Giganteum produces 
offsets which should be lifted and replanted to avoid crowding. The flow¬ 
ering size bulbs being difficult to transplant, we offer bulbs to flower the 
year after planting. $2.50 each, $25.00 dozen. Smaller bulbs (should bloom 
in two years), $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. Grayi (Eastern United States). A dainty native lily from the mountains of Vir¬ 
ginia and North Carolina somewhat resembling L. Canadense but with 
smaller funnel-shaped orange red flowers densely spotted with brownish 
purple. Best grown in partial shade, although it will do quite well in full 
sun. Plant 4 inches deep in a moist but well drained situation. Height, 2 
to 4 feet. Blooming period, July. Strong flowering size bulbs, 50c each, 
$5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100.
