‘The Rdeeaee IsIet 
(L. MYRIOPHYLLUM) 
T HIS beautiful new lily comes from North-western Hhina, which is a guar¬ 
antee of its hardiness. The exquisite blending? of tints.and coloi-s, form- 
inji' a charminfj- contrast with the rich green foliage, makes it one of the 
most beautiful of all known lilies. 
Highly recommended for general culture. 
The large trumpet-shaped, fragrant llowers are i)ure transparent white, 
with a distinct, rich canary-yellow throat and orange stamens. The buds and 
outside of petals are delicate jjink, which is often reflected through the petals. 
Plants grow from three to four feet tall, in the garden it should bloom 
early in July, continuing its glorious display well into August. Mature bulbs 
will produce five to ten flowers, and are fine for house de-coration, lasting for 
(lavs after being cut.

lUilbs can be planted in the Fall or Spring. If planted in the Fall it is 
well to mulch a little for first winter, but do not use fresh barnyard manure 
for mulching.) It will do well in any good, rich, well-drained garden land, 
either partly shady or all sun. 
This lily will not thrive in a location where water occasionally staauls or 
in a tight mucky soil.

TO GROW THE REGALE LILY FROM SEED 
Sow in Greenhouse or Hot Reds, in January, in well pulverized, light 
sandy soil. Care must be exercised in watering as young seedlings have a ten¬ 
dency to damp off. Dusting with Formaldehyde dust from time to time will 
prevent damping. About the same culture as given tomato seed will get good 
results with Regale Seed. Seedlings should be lined out of doors in beds as 
soon as the weather permits, in good garden loam well drained. Plant about 
one inch deep and keep well cultivated during the summer season. Either dig 
in the fall and transplant back in three or four weeks, or if your soil is sti'ong 
eiiough, you may leave out the seedlings for two year-s, mulching after the 
leaves die down, with about two or three inches of well prepared compost. 
I 
For out door culture sow seed about Api*il 1st in drills, about 50 seeds 
to the foot and one-half inch deep. Keep well cultivated.
