LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Superbum (Eastern United States). This lily is commonly known as the 
American Turks Cap or Swamp Lily and is easily one of the finest of our 
native plants. The growth is somewhat similar to L. Pardalinum, the flowers 
being bright orange suffused yellow and spotted brown. The leaves are 
arranged in whorls on stems which attain a height Up to 8 feet, although 
the average growth is 5 to 6 feet. This lily is easily established if it is 
provided with a moist lime free soil and partial shade. Good drainage 
is likewise essential. Plant 5 inches deep. Blooming period, July to August. 
First size bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen, $26.00 per 100. 
L. Szovitsianum (Caucasus). One of the most outstanding and beautiful of early 
flowering lilies, this plant is often listed by growers as a variety of L. Mona- 
delphum although recently authorities have accorded it specific rank. We 
offer home grown stock which will overcome to a large extent the difficulty 
of establishing this lily under garden conditions. Produces stems 4 to 5 feet 
in height which carry pale yellow flowers lightly spotted deep purple. The 
blossoms are large and the petals recurve gracefully. Requires a season to 
establish, making but little growth the first year after transplanting. June 
flowering. Plant 5 inches deep in sun or partial shade. Flowering bulbs, 
$1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. Large bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. TENUIFOLIUM GOLDEN GLEAM 
L. Tenuifolium Golden Gleam (Hybrid). A beautiful form of L. Tenuifolium re¬ 
puted to be a hybrid between the type and L. Martagon Album. The plant 
is similar to L. Tenuifolium except that the flowers are golden yellow. Very 
hardy and of easy culture. Plant as for L. Tenuifolium. Selected bulbs, 25c 
each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100.
