LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Philadelphicum (Eastern North America). One of our few upright flowering 
cup-shaped native lilies and likewise one of the most brilliantly colored. 
Bears vivid orange scarlet flowers with large dark maroon spots on stems 
1 Vz to 3 feet high. A woodland lily which should not be planted in the open 
border. Does best in a partly shaded position with fast drainage and some 
protection from heavy winter rains. Plant 5 inches deep. Flowering period, 
June to July. Does not produce a large bulb. First size bulbs, 30c each. 
$3.00 dozen, $22.00 per 100. October-November delivery. 
L. Phyllis Cox (Hybrid). One of the most brilliantly colored of the new hybrid 
lilies produced by Miss Isabella Preston at the Ottawa, Canada, Experimental 
Farm. Of the same parentage as L. Lillian Cummings (L. Willmottiae x 
L. Dauricum). The flowers are a brilliant orange red deepening toward the 
tips while the exterior of the petals is golden orange. Extremely vigorous, 
producing large heads of recurved flowers on 3 to 4 foot stems. Plant in full 
sun or part shade and 6 to 8 inches deep. Strong flowering bulbs, $5.00 
each. Stock limited. October-November delivery. 
L. Pomponium (Maritime Alps). Closely allied to L. Chalcedonicum but an earlier 
bloomer, this lily produces Martagon type flowers of a brilliant sealing wax 
red on stems three to four feet tall. Quite easily grown if given a well 
drained sunny location. Will do well in rather heavy, calceolarious soil. 
Plant 5 inches deep. June flowering. Selected bulbs $1.00 each, $10.00 doz. 
September-November delivery. 
L. Princeps G. C. Creelman (Hybrid). This is undoubtedly one of the finest of 
the Regale X Sargentiae hybrids now in commerce. The plant produces 
extraordinary heads of trumpet shaped flowers in late July, somewhat after 
L. Regale has finished blooming. The flowers, of great substance, are white 
with lemon yellow center shaded brownish lavender on the exterior. When 
well established will grow from 6 to 8 feet tall and carry as many as 30 
trumpets. Plant 8 inches deep in sun or partial shade. Stock limited. Se¬ 
lected flowering bulbs, $2.50 each. Large bulbs, $4.00 each. October- 
December delivery. 
Seedlings of L. Princeps G. C. Creelman. We offer for this season flowering stock 
of these seedlings which are all handsome trumpet lilies similar to the true 
Creelman lily but which vary in blooming period from early July to mid- 
August. Highly recommended for an extended flowering season. Choice 
bulbs, 75c each. $7.50 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Princeps Shelburne Hybrid. This hybrid lily is of the same parentage as 
G. C. Creelman. It is a very attractive plant of tall, slender growth bloom¬ 
ing later than L. Regale and with flowers of the L. Regale-L. Sargentiae type. 
Sometimes produces bulbils in the leaf axils. Same culture as Princeps 
G. C. Creelman. Height 5 to 6 feet. Stock limited. Flowering bulbs, $1.50 
each, $15.00 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Pyrenaicum (Pyrenees). Often referred to as the yellow Turk's Cap, this lily 
is one of the earliest to flower. The flowers, of Martagon type, are yellow 
spotted black and are carried on stems which will reach four feet when well 
established. Seems best in partial shade and needs a season to establish 
itself. Plant 5 inches deep. May-June flowering. Strong bulbs, 75c each, 
$7.50 dozen. September-November delivery. 
L. Pyrenaicum var. Rubrum. A red flowered form of L. Pyrenaicum which is by 
no means as common as the type. Same culture as above. Selected bulbs, 
$1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Regale (Tibet). Undoubtedly the most popular lily in America today and well 
deserving of its popularity. A hardy and vigorous plant which does well in 
practically any situation or soil condition. The large white flowers are 
extremely fragrant and are suffused with a wine color without and with a 
canary yellow throat. Easily grown in pots for early spring bloom under 
greenhouse conditions and an excellent cut flower or garden subject. In 
climates subject to late frosts, the young growth should be protected with 
branches or a loose straw mulch. Plant 8 inches deep. July flowering. 
Flowering bulbs, 15c each, $1.50 dozen, $11.00 per 100. Medium bulbs, 
25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Large bulbs, 40c each, $4.00 dozen, 
$30.00 per 100. Mammoth bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen, $45.00 per 100. 
October-December delivery.
