LI LI U M PHILLIPPINO FORMOSA 
This is one of the recent creations and is most rapidly 
attaining popularity. The flower much resembles the 
Easter Lily. It is large, trumpet-shaped; color, pure 
white with exception of occasional appearance of red¬ 
ish brown narrow stripe on outside of petals. The 
stems generally grow to 3 or 4 feet in length, but 
sometimes they reach 7 to 8 feet. The leaves are dark 
green, narrower but much longer than Easter Lilies. 
It blooms outside under natural conditions from July 
to September. It blooms as early as six to seven 
months after sowing the seed, if kept in a place where 
the temperature of 60 degrees or higher is maintained 
continuously. It is, however, more practical and profit¬ 
able to use small two-year-old bulblets that will be 
sure to produce excellent flowers in the same season. 
We have been experimenting with many varieties of 
lilies for the past several years, but have found no 
other lily or lilies so easy to grom and which bloom so 
early as this Phillipping lily does. 
The excellent points of this wonderful lily may be sum¬ 
marized as follows: 
1. Flower: its shape, color, and so forth, are highest 
quality from commercial standpoint. 
2. Blooms in late summer, after the Easter Lily and 
regal lily have disappeared, and when no lily of this 
type is in the market. 
3. Its easy cultivation, especially for outdoor planting. 
4. It is of a very early blooming nature, from the seed 
as well as from small bulblets. No other variety of 
lily is known to parallel this Phillipino Formosana 
lily. 
We urge all florists—large or small—to try this won¬ 
derful new lily for money making.
