So well known and uni-|(jj> 
versally loved that tol 
mention their beauty seems 
t'utile; yet avoided by many 
gardeners who consider 
them “difficult”. True, 
some species are not suc¬ 
cessful in Colorado gardens 
but these 8 kinds are thor¬ 
oughly reliable, thriving under ordinary 
good culture accorded a well-kept per¬ 
ennial border. 
My stocks of these total over 50,000 bulbs, all propagated 
and grown under ordinary conditions. They will be fresh¬ 
ly-dug for each order and delivered with roots intact, an 
important factor in successful lily culture. Bulbs that have 
lain around until the roots and outer scales have shriveled 
are more than half-dead when you get them. My freshly- 
dug bulbs can be depended upon to give satisfactory re¬ 
sults. 
Prices are for dash-with-order advance orders for Septem¬ 
ber and October delivery and subject to revision at that 
time. (I can supply Regale this Spring until April 20 
only). The different species differ also in size of bulbs. 
I quote only a good large blooming size (variously listed 
by others as “large", “jumbo”, “mammoth”) and quote ex¬ 
act sizes: figures just before prices indicate circumference 
of bulbs in inches. 
Regale. One of the most beautiful and happily 
one of the easiest to grow. Slender, arching stems 
three to five feet tall carry many long, narrow 
leaves and are crowned with 8 to 20 (sometimes 
forty!) huge trumpet-shaped blooms. Color white, 
canary yellow deep in the throat and varying tones 
of pink and rose shading the outside. Delightfully 
perfumed. A bed of five or six dozen Regale lilies 
is the most glorious sight in the garden in July. 
6-8. 4 for $1-00. 12 for $2.25. 50 for $7.50. 
Henryi. A splendid lily. Heavy purple-colored 
stems carry an abundance of wide, rich green foli¬ 
age and 15 to 2 5 or more flaringly recurved orange- 
yellow blooms in August. Easily grown to seven 
feet though the average is nearer five. Holds its 
color best in partial shade. 8-9. Each 4 0c. 12 
for $4.50. 
T'enuifolium. (Siberian Coral lily). 
Slender stems clothed with grassy foli¬ 
age carry the first lilies of the year, 
opening in early June. Each stalk car¬ 
ries 15 to 2 5 (sometimes over 50) 2- 
inch recurved blooms of sparkling scar¬ 
let color and waxen texture. This spe¬ 
cies shows best when planted in masses. 
3-4. 5 for $1.00. 10 for $1.50. 50 for 
$6.50. 100 for only $12.00. 
Pardalinum giganteum (Sunset lily). Robust, July 
bloomer, flaming scarlet recurved flowers with 
golden centers thickly spotted brown. A splendid 
new variety in heavy demand. Stock limited. 4-5. 
75c each. 
Formosanum. Extremely long, narrow trumpets of 
purest white touched with emerald green deep in 
the throat. September. 4-5. 35c each. 10 for 
$3.00.
