Lily of the Valley. Plant and flower grow to a height 
of 6 to 12 inches. It loves the shade and thrives best 
in deep rich soil. It can be successfully grown under 
trees and shrubs and in shady corners of the house 
where little else will thrive. Flowers are pure white, 
bell shaped, borne in clusters on gracefully drooping 
stems in May. Flowers deliciously fragrant. Beauti¬ 
ful glossy-green, upstanding foliage, partially enfold¬ 
ing the blossom stems. Like the Bleeding Heart is 
associated with old-fashioned gardens, and the two 
are beautiful together. The Lily-of-the-Valley is retir¬ 
ing and modest, but very dainty and useful. We sell 
them in good-sized clumps of pips. These jointed 
stems spread underground and new sprouts grow 
from their joints. It is a fine plant for moist, shady 
spots, where few things will grow. 
Madonna Lily, (Lillium Candidum). Sometimes 
called Annunciation Lily. The best and most widely 
known pure white lily. The stems are stiff, erect, 
blossoms a glistening white, and very fragrant, pro¬ 
fusely borne in June and July. It is one of the most 
decorative and outstanding white flowers in the gar¬ 
den, and should be used generally, both for its deco¬ 
rative beauty among shrubs and perennials, and for 
its cutting value. No flower is more esteemed for 
altar decorations, and in the house. Its height is from 
3 to 5 feet. Unlike most of the Lilies, which prefer 
half-shade, the Madonna should be grown if possible 
in full sunlight. 
Martagon. The most unusual Lily of all. Bears 
clusters of rich purple, wax-like flowers. Can be 
successfully planted either in Fall or Spring. 
Regal Lily or Myriophyllum. One of the most 
beautiful Lilies. The flowers are white, slightly suf¬ 
fused with pink, with a beautiful glow of canary yel¬ 
low at center, which continues part way up the trum¬ 
pet. Its perfume is exquisite—not too heavy, re¬ 
sembling the alluring fragrance of the Jasmine. It 
blooms early in July and continues to blossom into 
August, bridging the season between the Lilies that 
begin to bloom in early June, and the August Lilies.

It is extremely hardy and will grow anywhere. It may 
also be potted and forced in house or greenhouse for 
Easter blooming. One of the most charming of all the 
Lily family—ornamental in the shrubbery, perennial 
or bulb garden, delightful for cutting for all purposes. 
Rubrum (Speciosum Rubrum). White. Con¬ 
spicuously marked with ruby red spots. Blossoms in 
August and September. One of the most popular, and 
a delight in any garden. A true Lily type, tall, 
straight, narrow—blooming on short stems from the 
tall main stem. They may be bunched close to¬ 
gether—6 inches apart—or further if desired, and the 
location demands. Grows 3 to 4 feet. 
Scarlet American. A lovely, graceful growing Lily 
about 18 inches high with bright scarlet flowers and 
recurved petals. One of the prettiest Lilies in culti¬ 
vation. Blooms in June. 
Tuberose. For spring planting. An old favorite, 
grown in all the old gardens. Grows to a height of 
around 2 feet. Blossoms are double, a pure waxy 
white, borne on a central blossom stem in thick 
clusters—each blossom a little gem. It blossoms in 
August, making it one of the best late flowering 
bulbs. The fragrance is very sweet, but heavy. Plant 
it in May, about 4 inches deep, and 6 inches to a foot 
apart.
