Lilies for Spring Planting 
All herbaceous borders should have a few Lilies scattered through them. The sorts offered below 
can be planted with excellent results during the early spring months. It is in the hardy border that 
Lilies do best, as they get the benefit of the shade of the surrounding plants, which is so necessary for 
their welfare; other varieties should be planted in the autumn, and are offered in our autumn catalog. 
Give these lovely Lilies a place in your garden—a sunny spot where they can grow undisturbed. 
They will delight you for many years to come. We know of no flowers which ask less or give more. 
It pays to buy the best obtainable bulbs, such as are listed here. 
AURATUM GIGANTEUM. Golden-banded Lily of Japan. This is the largest and many think the most 
gorgeous of all. The flowers are bell-shaped, with slightly flaring and waved petals, each thickly 
dotted with bristly maroon spots and marked by a showy bright yellow band down the center. 
They are intensely fragrant. Each, 30c. 
AURATUM PLATPHYLLUM. The tallest and largest of the Auratums, with broader, darker leaves and 
larger flowers similar to Auratum, but it lacks the red spots, leaving a pure white bloom with a 
yellow band. Plant deep. Each, 35c. 
HANSONI. Delicately fragrant, nodding flowers of pale yellow-orange with thick, waxen recurved 
petals in clusters above broad whorls of leaves on stems two to four feet high. Each, 40c. 
HENRYI (Yellow Speciosum). A very lovely flower of the Speciosum type. It grows eight to ten feet 
high or more in favorable places and likes to root among low shrubs, sending its tall stems up into 
the sunlight where its bright apricot-yellow flowers may show at their best. Each, 30c. 
PARDALINUM. Tall and striking, with rich orange-red flowers having back-flared petals and strongly 
marked by purple spots ringed lighter. It blooms in June and July and likes deep woodsy soil. 
Each, 30c. 
PHILIPPINENSE FORMASANUM. In reality a hardy Easter Lily. Large white trumpet-shaped blooms 
suffused on the exterior with reddish brown. Delightfully fragrant. Blooms in July. Each, 30c. 
REGALE.. Large white blooms with canary-yellow throat and blush-white edges. Delightfully perfumed, 
but not oppressive as some of the older Lilies. June and July. Each, 20c. 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM. White, suffused rose-pink, spotted red. August and September. Each, 30c. 
TENUIF0LIUM. A dwarf, very graceful Lily with thread-like leaves and clusters of nodding tiny bell¬ 
like recurving flowers of brilliant coral-red in June. Each, 15c. 
TESTACEUM (Nankeen Lily). Resembles more nearly than any other a yellow Madonna. In favorable 
situation it will grow from six to seven feet tall and it is the most graceful of all the Lilies and its 
yellow color is exquisite beyond description. Each, 90c. 
TIGRINUM. The Tiger Lily is well known, with its showy spotted red-orange flowers in wayside gar¬ 
dens in August and later. Single, each, 25c. 
UMBELLATUM. Burning red-orange flowers held upright and produced in June. Of easy culture and 
particularly suited for the border. Each, 25c. 
Lilies should be planted in soil that is moist and yet not too wet. The bulbs should be planted 
not less than 6 inches deep and not less than 8 inches apart. While some sorts require fall planting 
the varieties here listed may be planted during the winter or very early spring months, prior to April 
1st. Owing to the fact that some sorts start growth as soon as the weather warms up in the spring we 
will supply any of the ones in this list as long as good bulbs are available. Orders received after that 
time will be booked for delivery in November or December when the new stock is at hand.
