We Sell Two Types of Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
The various types of Hardy Lilies are unequaled by any other plant in their unique combination of beauty, 
gracefulness, and stately magnificence; yet they are entirely unknown in many gardens. Their culture has been 
entirely too much neglected, but each year as their merits become better known, they increase in popularity. 
Contrary to general opinion, most Lilies are robust, and when once planted should not be disturbed. In cold 
climates the bulbs should be protected from freezing during the Winter by a heavy covering of leaves, hay, or straw.
