LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. CANDIDUM 
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. Centifolium (syn. L. Leucanthum var. Chloraster) (China). A magnificent species 
introduced by Reginald Farrer from stock found growing in a Chinese garden 
in 1914. The flowers are immense white trumpets borne on stems rising from 
6 to 8 feet in height. Seed grown stocks vary somewhat in the external color¬ 
ing of the flowers, some being shaded green and others brownish purple, but 
all are well worth growing. The name of this plant (Centi-folium, "hundred- 
leaved") is suggestive of its abundant foliage. We are pleased to offer 
home-grown stock of L. Centifolium and believe it to be an exceptional addi¬ 
tion to any lily collection. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in light shade with 
perfect drainage. July-August blooming. Flowering size bulbs, $2.00 each, 
$20.00 dozen. Large bulbs, $3,00 each. October-December delivery.
