S O that you may succeed with these inspiring plants and to obviate disappointments we offer 
from a host of varieties, the limited few that will succeed in American gardens under ordinary 
care, selected after many years of experimenting and careful study. 
No varieties other than those appearing in this list should be planted in spring. 
There are many other exquisite kinds with which we succeed, but they should only be planted in 
the autumn. They will be offered in our next edition of "Beauty From Bulbs" to be issued May 15th. 
AN OUTSTANDING NEW INTRODUCTION 
Lilium x GEORGE C. CREELMAN: One of the outstanding introductions of recent years. The "True" 
Creelman Lily is beautiful, permanent, prolific, hardy, dependable and easy to grow. 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, 1934. This Lily is not to be confused with seed¬ 
lings of the Lily, sometimes offered as Lilium Creelman. 
"Creelman" is beautiful in form and color, and artistic, yet sturdy, permanent and dependable. 
The long-lasting flowers, which are very large, often measuring eight inches in length, carried 
in large numbers on strong, long stems, with fine foliage, resemble a Regale Lily of the best and 
truest type, with the bronzy tones more pronounced and a more intense yellow in the throat. It 
blooms two weeks after the Regale Lily; many flowers opening at one time. We have counted 
35 perfect flowers and buds on a six foot spike. 
Very strong and vigorous grower, the entire plant has an appearance of well being. We have 
found this Lily entirely free from ordinary diseases to which so many of the other Lilies are subject. 
Easiest of culture and one of the hardiest. Stem-rooting. July flowering. Plant 8 inches deep in 
any good garden loam. See illustration. 
Extra heavy specimen bulbs, limited stock Each, $5. 
Selected, strong flowering bulbs Each, $3. 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
HENRYI: An invaluable garden plant, vigorous 
in its growth, failing but very seldom. One of 
the best border Lilies, reaching over 8 feet and 
more in height when established, and bearing 
more than twenty flowers of a rich, deep, 
orange-yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in both 
light and heavy loam, but prefers soil with a 
mixture of peat. Plant very deep, 10 inches. Stem- 
roots. August-September flowering. Special 
stock, $9 for 10; $20 for case of 25; $38 for case 
of 50; $75 per 100. A smaller size, good flowering 
bulb may be had at $5.75 for 10; $55 per 100. 
Smaller, but strong flowering bulbs, $35 per 100. 
REGALE (The Regal or Royal Lily); One of the 
most beautiful, and one of the hardiest Lilies in 
cultivation—"Lilium Regale" is truly a royal 
Lily worthy of a place in every garden. It is a 
lover of loam and sunshine. 
A vigorous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 
feet high, densely covered with long, linear- 
lanceolate foliage. Center of flower flushed with 
yellow, shading to white at the outer edges; 
externally the flowers are streaked with brown 
on the "ribs," shaded through the almost trans¬ 
lucent petals with a delightful pearly tint; the 
contrast between the rich wine color of the 
reverse of the petals and the gold shading of 
the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. 
For best results, they should be planted 9 
inches deep, should have good drainage, and 
when growing they should be watered copious¬ 
ly with liquid manure as they are gross feeders- 
They succeed in any good, rich garden soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps 
of 5 to 25 bulbs, they are especially attractive 
among the Delphiniums and other July flower¬ 
ing perennials. Where these magnificent Lilies 
are planted in quantity, the air in the cool of 
the morning, and in the evening, is laden with 
delicious perfume, exhaled from every blossom.
