L. Martagon Album. A lovely form of L. Martagon, indeed one of the most 
graceful and dainty lilies in cultivation. Carries pure white waxy flowers 
of the same type as L. Martagon on stems which attain a height of 4 feet 
when well established. Best planted in partial shade. Flowering period, 
June to July. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep. Stock limited at present. Strong 
bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen. 
L. Martagon var. Cattaniae. A very dark form of L. Martagon the thick petaled 
flowers of which are a deep purple, almost black. This variety is very vig¬ 
orous growing somewhat taller than the type. A rare and striking plant. 
Flowering period June-July. Same culture as Martagon Album. Stock 
limited. Strong bulbs, $2.50 each, $25.00 dozen. 
L. Maximowiczii (Japan). An absolutely hardy, late blooming lily somewhat 
resembling Tigrinum but of rather more slender growth. Well grown plants 
carry ten or more orange red reflexing flowers with dark mahogany spots. 
At its best in a partly shaded spot and a soil abundant in peat. Does not 
produce a large bulb. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 4 to 6 feet. Bloom¬ 
ing period, August-September. 30c each, $3.00 dozen, $22.00 per 100. 
L. Medeoloides (Japan). A delightful little rock garden lily often called the 
"Wheel Lily of Japan" due to the single whorl of leaves appearing about 
half way up the stem. The flowers are of the Martagon type varying in 
color from apricot to scarlet with black spots, although some of the flowers 
may be unspotted. Quite hardy and easily grown in a partly shaded situa¬ 
tion. The plant rarely exceeds 18 inches in height. Plant 3 to 5 inches deep 
in soil containing an abundance of leaf mold and with good drainage. 
Blooming period, June-July. Flowering size bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Nobilissimum (Japan). A rare and choice lily to which a variety of names has 
been applied. At one time considered a variety of Japonicum and distrib¬ 
uted under the name of var. Alexandrae. This lily is now accepted as a 
specific species, having little in common with L. Japonicum. The flowers 
are borne on 1 V 2 ' to 2-foot stems, and of the purest white, in shape some¬ 
what resembling L. Auratum without the gold band and spots of that 
species. Very fragrant and an exceptionally fine cut flower. Likewise a 
good subject for a cool greenhouse where it will flower in early May. 
Under outdoor culture the flowers are produced in July. We have a very 
fine stock of this lily. Plant 6-8 inches deep in a sheltered partially shaded 
location. Strong bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Occidentale (Oregon and California). A rare native lily of the west coast 
which is not difficult to establish under garden conditions. The plant carries 
small bell-shaped flowers which are orange red with a maroon spotted 
throat. The petals are much recurved. Plant in soil which is lime free and 
to which peat, or leaf mold, have been added. As with most native lilies,
