COLD-STORAGE LILIES FOR 
FORCING 
Lilium longiflorum giganteum. Large 
flowers of excellent quality. First-size bulbs, 
$25 per case of 50. 
Lilium superbum (American Turk’s-Cap 
Lily). This is a very handsome tall-growing 
Lily somewhat like Canadense. The flowers 
are more sharply recurved, brighter, larger, 
and there are more of them. It usually blooms 
in July and August. 50 cts. each; $5 per doz.; 
$35 per 100. 
Lilium testaceum (Nankeen Lily). 
Unique in the Lily family for the peculiar, 
pale buff-cream color of its nodding, bell¬ 
shaped flowers. It grows 4 to 5 feet tall and 
blooms in June and July. As it is base-root¬ 
ing only, it should be planted quite shallow. 
It wants full sunlight, with a light under¬ 
cover. Very scarce and highly prized. 
$1.75 each; $17.50 per doz. 
Lilium tigrinum splendens (Tiger Lily). 
Extremely showy and very easily grown, 
producing immense quantities of brilliant 
orange-red flowers, elegantly spotted with 
brownish black. Full sun suits it perfectly, 
and it should be planted quite deep. Grows 
to 3 to 4 feet or more; blooms in August. 
$4.50 per doz.; $30 per 100. 
Lilium tigrinum flore-pleno. A double 
form of the Tiger Lily and even more showy. 
Requires the same treatment. $4.50 per doz.; 
$30 per 100. 
Lilium speciosum Melpomene 
Lilium speciosum rubrum. Very hand¬ 
some white flowers thickly powdered with 
vivid rose dots and slightly flushed with 
pink. It is delicately fragrant. This is also 
of the .stem-rooting type and requires deep 
planting and a ground-cover. It will also 
withstand partial shade, but is better if the 
tops have full sunlight. The plants grow 3 
to 4 feet high and flower in August and Sep¬ 
tember. A fairly easy Lily to grow and very 
lovely. 
Mammoth bulbs, 11 to 13 in. circum., $1 
each; $8 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
Extra-large bulbs, 9 to 11 in. circum., 75 
cts. each; $6 per doz.; $40 per 100. 
Extra-large bulbs, Holland-grown, 88 per 
doz.; $60 per 100. 
Lilium tigrinum splendens 
Lilium sulphureum. Immense, trumpet¬ 
shaped flowers of sulphur-yellow shade, out¬ 
side faintly streaked claret-red. Extra-large 
bulbs, $2.50 each; $25 per doz. 
Lilium speciosum album. Very deli¬ 
cately beautiful pure white form of Specie sum. 
It is a little dwarfer, as a rule, than the pink 
variety, and blooms somewhat later. It 
requires the same attention, but seems 
to demand full sunlight for it languishes 
in shade. 
Extra-large bulbs, 9 to 10 in. cir¬ 
cum., $1 each; $7 per doz.; $50 
per 100. 
Large bulbs, 8 to 9 in. circum., 75

100 .

$8 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
Lilium speciosum Melpo¬ 
mene. A darker form of Spe¬ 
ciosum rubrum and requires 
the same treatment. In this 
variety the petals are almost 
solid dark crimson-pink. 
Mammoth bulbs, 11 to 13 in. cir¬ 
cum., $1 each; $8 per doz.; $60 
per 100. 
Extra-large bulbs, 9 to 11 in. circum., 75 
cts. each; $6 per doz.; $40 per 100.
