(Madonna Lily) 
The Madonna Lily is one of the loveliest of white Lilies, popular 
throughout the world, loved and admired by all. Its delightful 
fragrance and lovely white flowers have made it a universal symbol 
of purity. Plant it in groups of three or more bulbs, close to the 
pale blue Delphinium Belladonna. It will be the loveliest spot in 
your garden during late June and early July. Madonna Lilies are 
simple to grow if you will plant in full sun and perfectly drained 
soil. Most Madonna Lilies are grown in France. Bulbs from the 
north of France are better than those grown in Southern France. 
We offer, therefore, Northern France grown bulbs as follows:

I^l/lum destaceum 
Also known as "Excelsum" and as the "Nankeen Lily." One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone almost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use 
but because of its tender coloring, must be planted in a mixed 
border with brighter flowers. In combination with light-shaded 
Delphiniums or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles, it is 
most effective. It has the texture of Lilium Candidum, with re¬ 
flexed petals and does well under the same conditions as Candidum. 
Four to five feet high, June-July flowering. (Color illustration, 
page J).

(The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in culti¬ 
vation—"Lilium Regale" is truly a Royal Lily, worthy of a place 
in every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigorous 
grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with 
fine foliage. Center of flower flushed with yellow shading to white 
at outer edges; externally the flowers are streaked with brown on 
the "ribs," shaded through the almost translucent petals with a 
delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the color of the reverse 
of the petals and the gold shading of the throat is extraordinarily 
beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when thoroughly 
established, bears as high as 1 8 to 20 flowers during the season. 
Fall-planted bulbs should be protected against freezing.

Not unlike the Regal Lily in general appearance. The slender 
stem is covered with the same grassy foliage as the Regal Lily. 
The substantial blooms are trumpet-like; in fact, they are long, 
lovely white flowers, with a beautiful pale emerald-green throat 
which gives the flower a distinct and delicate appearance. They 
commence blooming in early August and flower until stopped by 
frost. Bulbs when established will produce 3 to 4 spikes each with 
4 or 5 blooms. It is a most liberal flowering Lily, to all of which 
may be added that they are among the easiest grown. September 
flowering. (Color illustration, page I).

These are usually grown for specimens in pots for exhibition and decoration. Each 
bulb should produce from 1 2 to 18 flowers. 
The short time required to bring this peerless Liy into flower renders it invaluable. 
The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy white, and if cut when partially open 
can be kept for two weeks, if desired. A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout 
the winter by bringing a few pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals. Blooming; 
plants in pots are suitable for Easter offerings and presents. Bulbs ready for ship¬ 
ment—August to December.

Extra bulbs. 7 to 9 inch circumfrence. $0.40 $4.00 $27.50

equally as valuable for cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 
flowers. 
Mammoth bulbs. 9 to 11 inch circumference. 
Each $0.50, Doz. $5.25, 100 $40.00 
These usually grown for specimens in pots for exhibition and decora¬ 
tion. Each bulb should produce from 12 to 18 flowers. For shipment in

*Longiflorum giganteum (Japan Easter Lily) 
Extra bulbs. 9-10 in. Each $0.40, Doz. $4.25, 100 $30.00 
This Japanese type is highly thought of for late winter and Easter 
forcing—though the bulbs of this variety are often carried over in cold 
storage to be brought into bloom at any desired time the succeeding 
year. The plant is of sturdy, stocky growth, with black marked stems. 
The flowers of purest white are the largest of the Longiflorums. For 
shipment—October to December.
