Hardy Philippine Lilies 
Flowers Similar to Easter Lily; Easily Grown from Seed; Blossoms the Same Season 
Seed Is Planted 
The Philippine Lily (Lilium Formosanum) is one of the most won¬ 
derful Lilies in existence and perfectly hardy. Seeds sown in February, 
March and April under ideal conditions produce plants that flower in 
the fall of the same year. Flowers are of purest white tinted purple 
outside, larger than the common Easter Lily and delightfully fragrant. 
A florist in Pennsylvania planted some of the seed in January and on June 26th 
wrote that the flowers were then ready to open. 
The second year they flower more freely, very often as many as ten flowers on a 
single stem. The flower stems appear one after another, two or three times a year 
from the same bulb. Within two or three years they will make a fine clump, pro¬ 
ducing a mass of flowers commencing in August and continuing through late sum¬ 
mer and fall, by throwing new stems from the roots. Two year old bulbs, 25c each; 
3 for 60c; 12 for $2.25, postpaid. Seed, 15c per pkt. 
NEW WHITE PHILIPPINE LILY. An improved strain of the above variety. A 
large per cent of the blooms come almost pure white, with very little color on out¬ 
side of flower. No bulbs to offer. 
Pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00.
