HARDY LILIES OF OUTSTANDING MERIT 
Lflium Philippinense Formosonum 
LIlium Wardi 
"The Pink Martagon Lily" 
This beautiful lily was discovered by Capt. Kingdon Ward in one 
of his expeditions into Tibet. We procured a few seediings and 
were the first to introduce it into this country and in compliment 
to this distinguished plant explorer we named it L. Wardi. The 
price at that time was almost prohibitive but we are now in pos¬ 
session of a large stock of flowering bulDs and ore enabled to 
bring it within the reach of all. 
As the illustration shows this lily produces many flowers on a 
stem which is covered with thick foliage. The flowers are much 
larger than L. martagon and have a beautiful pink shading, freely 
spotted purple. When well established the plants grow to a height 
of 4 feet and bloom in midsummer when a good pink lily is desired. 
Plant in partial shade in a well drained soil with a good propor¬ 
tion of well rotted leaf mould. 
Prices on good flowering bulbs, $1.50 each; 3 for $^.00; $15.00 
per dozen. 
'Consider fhe Lilies" 
In presenting this treatise, Mr. 
W. E. Marshall, the author, was 
prompted by a desire to assist the 
amateur but his wishes have gone 
beyond his expectations as his 
brochure is now recognized by 
experts as a text book on this 
interesting genus. 
Over one hundred varieties are 
described with complete history 
and cultural directions. A most 
interesting book to read, illum¬ 
inated with 67 magnificent color¬ 
ed plates. 
There is only a limited supply 
of this book which will be sent 
postpaid for $2.00. It also may 
be procured free with a cash purchase of Lily bulbs amounting 
to ten dollars. 
Lilium Maxwill 
The Prize-Winning Lily 
Over two years ago we placed this wonderful new lily before the 
public. After giving it a fair trial we had been convinced that it 
is one of the finest hybrid lilies of recent introduction. In fact 
since its introduction, this lily has not only maintained its reputa¬ 
tion but has considerably enhanced it. In two or three years five 
and even six giant stems have been known to spring from one bulb 
originally planted. It is the only lily to receive the Cory Cup of 
The Royal Horticultural Society, for the best plant introduced in 
any one year, this award being only given to a plant of really out¬ 
standing merit. 
Lilium Maxwill is a cross between L. Maximowiczi and L. Will- 
mottiae, combining the free flowering qualities of the latter with 
the sturdiness and grace of the former parent. The color is a strik¬ 
ing bright red, the stamens being orange-red. The numerous re¬ 
flexed flowers have the habit of looking one straight in the face. 
Height 6 feet. Blooms late July. 
PRICE: Strong flowering bulbs, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.75; $10.00 
per dozen. 
Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
(Lilium Formosanum) 
We believe this to be one of the most satisfactory of all hardy 
white lilies. There are various types of this species, some being 
quite dwarf in habit and blooming in mid-summer. From the orig¬ 
inal tall, late flowering variety, discovered by E. H. Wilson in the 
island of Formosa, we have selected a very fine, pure white strain 
which we now offer. 
The illustration opposite shows two plants standing 6 feet 9 
inches high in front of W. E. Marshall who planted two bulbs the 
previous fall without any protection and were in full bloom the 
following September. Quite noticeable is the long grass-like 
foliage which extends almost to the long tubular shaped flowers. 
The fragrance is quite pleasing. Early spring planting is also quite 
satisfactory. 
PRICE: Bulbs measuring 6 inches in diameter, 50c each; 3 for 
$1.35; $5.00 per doz; $38.00 per 100.
