Lilium philippinense formosanum 
This gorgeous Lily is a profuse bloomer, easy to grow and one 
of the finest garden varieties recently introduced. It is of graceful 
bushy growth, with long, grassy foliage. The pure white, very 
fragrant blooms resemble an Easter Lily, in both size and form. 
When they first open they are slightly colored externally with 
reddish brown; this coloration fades as the flower matures. As it is 
a stem-rooting variety, it should be planted about 8 inches deep. 
It likes a sunny location and will do best in a soil free from lime. 
30c. each; doz. $2.50; $16.00 per 100. 
Regal Lily • Lilium regale 
One of the finest garden Lilies introduced. On sturdy stems, 3 to 
5 feet high, are produced an abundance of large, beautiful flowers, the 
centers of which are flushed bright golden yellow, shading off to 
creamy white at outer edges. Externally the flowers are streaked with 
brown, shaded a delightful pearly tint. Should be planted in fall or 
early spring, 8 to 9 inches deep. Commences flowering in July. This 
variety has also been used for forcing with very good results.
