LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. CANADENSE FLAVUM 
L. Canadense (Eastern North America). One of the most widely distributed of 
our native lilies and likewise one of the best. Graceful bell-shaped flowers 
are produced in early July on tall stems. The blooms are generally yellow 
spotted chocolate. A distinct red form is more rare than the type. Best in 
partial shade and light woodland soil. Height 2 to 5 feet. Plant 6 to 8 
inches deep. 
Flavum, the golden yellow type. 30c each, $3.00 dozen, $22.00 per 100. 
Rubrum, the orange red form. 40c each, $4.00 dozen, $30.00 per 100. 
L. Candidum (Europe). The well known Madonna or Annunciation lily is the 
oldest of cultivated lilies in Europe and probably the most popular of all 
lilies. Due to the rosette of leaves produced in the fall by this lily early 
planting is imperative, August and September being the proper months. 
The bulbs should be covered with not more than 2 to 3 inches of soil. This 
lily is generally considered at its best in a well sweetened soil. We handle 
only disease free home grown bulbs of this popular lily. Height 4-6 feet. 
June flowering. Medium size bulbs, 25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. 
Large size bulbs, 40c each, $4.00 dozen, $30.00 per 100. Mammoth bulbs, 
75c each, $7.50 dozen, $56.00 per 100. 
L. Carolinianum (Syn. L. Michauxii) (Southeastern United States). A native lily 
somewhat similar to L. Superbum. It is often called the southern swamp 
lily. Not as hardy as many of our other natives but satisfactory in a sunny 
protected position. The flowers are bright orange and fragrant. Height 11/2 
to 3 feet. Plant 5 inches deep. Blooming period, late July. First size bulbs, 
40c each, $4.00 dozen. 
L. Cernuum (China). This is a dainty little lily from Korea, very similar in form 
to Lilium Tenuifolium except that the flowers vary from pale pink to a lilac 
color with deep purple spots. Excellent grown in rock gardens in sun or 
partial shade. Flowers are of the turks cap type and fragrant. Blooming 
period, June to July. Height 1 V 2 to 3 feet. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep. Flower¬ 
ing size bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen, $26.00 per 100.
