L. Sulphureum (syn. myriophyllum superbum) (Burma). Easily one of the most 
beautiful trumpet lilies ever introduced. Buds of this lily often measure 11 
inches in length and the fragrant flowers upon opening are a pale sulphur 
yellow deepening in color at the throat. The exterior is tinged with claret red. 
Should be planted in full sun in a protected southerly exposure. This lily, 
like L. Bulbiferum and L. Sargentiae, carries bulblets in the leaf axils and 
is best propagated in this manner. The bulblets should be sown in the 
autumn when they are easily removed from the plant. L. Sulphureum suc¬ 
ceeds well as a pot lily under cool greenhouse conditions. Height 5 to 7 
feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in lime free soil. Blooming period, August 
and September. Top growth of this lily does not usually appear before 
June. Flowering bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen, $45.00 per 100. Selected 
large bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen.
