Hardy Perennials

Lilium rubellum. I consider this the earliest Lily in 
my collection and one of the most charming. It 
is not large nor tall nor very conspicuous, but 
the delicate pink flowers are very showy and last 
well. I have flowered it here several times, and 
though it is not so robust and durable as Specio- 
sum it is a longer-lived species with me than 
Krameri. N., 25 cts. each; P., 28 cts. each. 
L. speciosum, var. album. About the same as the 
well-known L. speciosum rubrum , except that 
the flowers are white. It is a more expensive 
Lily. August and September. N., 20 cts. each, 
$1.00 per doz.; P., 23 cts. each, $1.90 per doz. 
L. —, var. macranthum. This variety has done 
fully as well as Rubrum with me, lasting well. 
N., 25 cts. each; P., 28 cts. each. 
L. —, var. Melpomene. Darker red than Rubrum. 
A good and desirable kind. N., 20 cts. each; 
P., 23 cts. each. 
L. —, var. roseum. White, shaded and spotted 
with rose. N., 25 cts. each, $2.05 per doz.; P., 
28 cts. each, $2.25 per doz. 
L. —, var. rubrum. This fine, late-blooming plant 
from Japan is one of the most showy of Lilies; 
of medium height, and not difficult to grow in 
any good garden soil. Blooms in August and 
September. Good flowering bulbs. N., 15 cts. 
each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.55 per 
doz.

L. sulphureum ( Wallichianum superbum) . Flow¬ 
ers long and large, funnel-shaped, primrose- 
yellow within, chocolate-white without. I have 
a fine lot of this grand Lily which I raised here, 
and offer it at one-third of the rate that I sold 
it two years ago. N., $1 each, $10 per doz.; P., 
$1.03 each, $10.50 per doz. 
L, superbum. American Turk’s Cap. This native 
Lily is one of the finest and most hardy of all 
Lilies. It often attains a height of G feet, and 
produces a large number of flowers. Its flowers 
are bright orange in color, with dark spots. N., 
15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. 
L. tenuifolium. Siberian Coral Lily. One of 
the most delicate and charming species. One 
to 2 feet high, with 1 to 15 or more nodding rich 
scarlet flowers. It is propagated from seeds or 
scales. One of the quickest to bloom from seed.

L. testaceum (JO. excelsum). One of the most beau¬ 
tiful Lilies. Handsome nankeen-yellow flowers
