The hardy border is an ideal location for lilies, as they need sunshine on their 
tops and shade about their roots. The foliage of surrounding low shrubbery and 
plants provides shade and shows the flowers to best advantage. 
CANDLESTICK LILY (Umbellatum) 
Height 2-3 ft. A showy, sun-loving vari¬ 
ety that is easily grown. The large, 
orange-red flowers are held erect like 
widespread chalices, and are borne in 
great profusion in June. Each 25c, 3 for 
65c, prepaid. 
CORAL LILY (Tenuifolium) 
Height 2 ft. A charming little lily for 
the border or rock garden. The brilliant 
coral-red flowers are borne in clusters of 
five to fifteen on slender stems. Foliage 
is finely cut and fern-like. Blooms in 
July. Each 20c, 3 for 50c, prepaid. 
GOLD-BANDED JAPAN LILY 
(Auratum) 
Height 4-6 ft. One of the largest and 
handsomest of lilies. The fragrant, trum¬ 
pet-shaped flowers are ivory-white, with 
broad, yellow bands down the center of 
each petal, and richly spotted with crim¬ 
son. Blooms in July and August. Each 
30c, 3 for 80c, prepaid. 
IMPROVED RUBRUM LILY (Spe- 
ciosum Magnificum) 
Height 4 ft. White, flushed rose-pink, and 
heavily spotted with carmine, the large, 
frilly flowers face downward and roll back 
their broad petals so that stamens and 
pistil curl way out. Blooms in late Au¬ 
gust. Each 30c, 3 for 80c, prepaid. 
PHILIPPINESE FORMOSANUM 
Height 3-4 ft. In general appearance, 
very like the Regal Lily. The long, white 
trumpet-shaped flowers have a pale emer¬ 
ald-green throat which gives them a dis¬ 
tinct and delicate appearance. Bloom 
from August to frost. Each 30c, 3 for 
80c, prepaid. 
REGAL LILY (Regale) 
Height 3-5 ft. The easiest of all lilies to 
grow, and the most beautiful of all the 
true trumpet-shaped varieties. The large 
flowers are ivory-white, shaded rose, with 
centers flushed yellow. The stems are 
sturdy and bear clusters of 2-8 fragrant 
flowers in June. Each 15c, 3 for 35c, 
prepaid. 
DOUBLE TIGER LILY (Tigrinum 
Flore Pleno) 
Height 5 ft. Handsome, showy lilies of 
easy culture, producing an abundance of 
orange-scarlet flowers in August. Very 
hardy and vigorous. Each 20c, 3 for 50c, 
prepaid.

Height 3-8 ft. The most magnificent and 
showy of the native North American 
species. This splendid lily produces from

paid.
