^Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
The Philippinense Lily is not unlike the Regale Lily in general 
appearance. The slender stem is covered with the same grassy fo- 
liage of the Regale Lily. The substantial blooms are trumpet-like, in 
fact, they are long lovely white flowers with a beautiful pale emerald- 
green throat which gives the flower a distinct and delicate appear¬ 
ance. They commence blooming in early August and flower until 
stopped by frost. Bulbs when established will produce 3 to 4 spikes 
each with 4 or 5 blooms. It is a most liberal flowering Lily, to all 
of which may be added that they are among the easiest grown. If 
properly planted about 4 inches deep in well drained sandy soil and 
given a little covering during the winter they will safely go through 
the coldest weather. August to November flowering. Height 3 to 4 
feet. 
Each, 25c; doz., $2.75; 100, $18.00. 
Lilium Regale 
(The Regal or Royal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in culti¬ 
vation—“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 fine 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 translucent petals with a delightful pearly 
tint; the contrast between the color of the reverse of the petals and 
the gold shadmg of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. The Regal 
Lily is very floriferous and when thoroughly established, bears as 
high as 18 and 20 flowers during the season. They succeed in any 
good, rich garden soil, that is well drained. Because Regal Lilies 
flower so easily from small inexpensive bulbs, we offer this variety 
in many sizes, to suit everyone’s purse. (See color page M).

Lilium Speciosum 
One of the greatest favorites as a border Lily; of daring as well 
as beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and are hand¬ 
somely spotted, often branded with distinct color. The style is thrown 
out in a curved line of much grace and strength. The stamens boldly 
diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous for their size and color 
and extremely delicate poise. In addition to all these attractive qual¬ 
ities, it has a strongly waved outline to the petals, which adds much 
to its beauty. It flowers through the late summer into autumn. The 
cultivation of this Lily is simple. It may be relied upon to prosper, 
sending up its flowering stems year after year in increasing numbers.

stripe through the center of each petal, and anthers of a coppery

LILIES FOR INDOOR GROWING 
’■’Longiflorum giganteum (Japan Easter Lily). This Japanese type is 
highly thought of for late winter and Easter forcing—though the

flowers of purest white are the largest of the Longiflorums.

tifully in August or September.
