LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Cordatum (syn. L. Cordifolium) (Japan). Somewhat similar to Lilium Giganteum 
of which it was at one time considered a variety. A fine woodland lily 
attractive not only for its flowers but also for its foliage. The heart-shaped 
leaves, on first appearance, are stained purple gradually changing to a 
glossy green. The trumpet-shaped flowers are creamy white and somewhat 
more horizontal than L. Giganteum. Do not plant deeply but rather so that 
the top of the bulb is barely covered with soil. Succeeds best in the partial 
shade of open woodland. Produces early top growth in the spring which 
may require some protection from late frosts. Height, 4 to 5 feet. July 
blooming. Selected bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen. October-December de¬ 
livery. 
L. Crobellatum (Hybrid). A new hybrid lily produced in Holland recently by 
crossing L. Croceum with L. Umbellatum. The large erect flowers are deep 
orange in color, and are carried on strong 3 to 4 foot stems. This promises 
to be a valuable addition to our early flowering lilies. Plant 4 to 5 inches 
deep in sun or partial shade. Blooming period June to July. Selected im¬ 
ported bulbs, $2.00 each. November delivery. 
L. Croceum (syn. L. Aurantiacum) (Europe). Commonly known as the "Cottage 
Garden" or "Orange” lily and one of the easiest to grow. The stems carry as 
many as 20 brilliant pure orange upright flowers lightly spotted with dark 
orange. Will do equally well in either full sun or partial shade, although the 
color of the flowers stands up better with some shading. The true form of L. 
Croceum is often confused with strong growing types of L. Umbellatum, 
which are sometimes substituted. We offer bulbs of the true type. Plant 4 to 
5 inches deep. Height 3 to 6 feet. Blooming period, June and July. Is not 
averse to rather heavy soil. Selected large bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 doz.. 
$38.00 per 100. October-December delivery. 
L. Crow's Hybrids. We offer selected seedlings of this magnificent strain of 
trumpet lilies, hybrids of L. Sulphurgale x L. Princeps. These plants bloom 
some two weeks later than L. Regale and, while some variance will be 
noted in their coloring, all are exceptionally vigorous and beautiful. The 
flowers generally are white with greenish golden throats and orange to dark 
brown anthers. The exterior of the petals is shaded brown, purple or green. 
Well established plants will carry up to 30 flowers. Plant in sun or partial 
shade and 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 4 to 6 feet. Selected flowering bulbs, 
$2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Dalhansonii (Hybrid). An outstanding lily which was originally flowered in 
1890 from a cross of L. Martagon Dalmaticum x L. Hansonii. Unlike some 
hybrid lilies this plant is very vigorous and of easy garden culture. The 
thick petaled recurved flowers are similar in form to L. Hansonii but the 
color is a deep mahogany red; an exceptional color among lilies. Foliage is 
similar to L. Hansonii. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in partial shade and with 
sharp drainage. Height 4 to 5 feet. June flowering. Strong bulbs, $3.00 each. 
October delivery. 
L. Dauricum (Northeast Asia). One of the earliest flowering of the Asiatic lilies. 
The true type is rather rare, forms of L. Umbellatum being often substituted. 
The flowers are upright as in L. Croceum and vary from light orange to deep 
orange, flushed and spotted red. The strain of L. Dauricum which we are 
now offering is much improved over older types, the flowers being at least 
one-third larger and of better coloring. Plant 5 inches deep in a sunny 
position with good drainage. Height 1 V 2 to 2 feet. Blooming period, late 
May and June. Strong bulbs, 30c each. $3.00 dozen, $22.00 per 100. October- 
December delivery. 
L. Dauricum var. Batemanniae. A fine rich apricot colored lily with upright 
unspotted flowers. Undoubtedly an improved form of L. Dauricum Venus- 
trum. Plant 6 inches deep in semi-shade and a rich, light soil. Height, 3 feet. 
Blooming period, late July to early August. Selected bulbs, 30c each, $3.00 
dozen, $22.00 per 100.
