LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Speciosum (Japan). One of the most popular of all lily species and rightly so. 
These hardy plants bear up to 20 recurved, fragrant flowers on stems from 
4 to 6 feet tall. The foliage is extremely attractive and graceful. All of the 
varieties should be planted deeply, from 9 to 10 inches, and the color is 
best in partial shade. Good drainage is essential. August and September 
flowering. We offer five varieties of this fine lily. November-January de¬ 
livery. 
L. Speciosum Album (Kraetzeri). A beautiful white form with green stripe down 
the center of each petal. Not quite as tall as Rubrum. Selected bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. 
L. Speciosum Ereclum. This is the most imposing form we have grown. The 
flowers are considerably larger than Rubrum and a trifle lighter in color. 
As indicated by the name, the flowers turn up instead of down as in othei 
types of L. Speciosum. The foliage is very broad and rich and well estab¬ 
lished plants have reached a height of seven feet with us. This type is very 
disease resistant and we can recommend it highly. Blooms about two 
weeks later than Speciosum Rubrum. Selected flowering bulbs, $1.50 each, 
$15.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Melpomene. One of the finest forms of L. Speciosum. The plants 
carry very dark crimson colored flowers with a white margin. Choice bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. SPECIOSUM RUBRUM 
L. Speciosum Rubrum (Magnificum). White flowers flushed and spotted with deep 
rose. The most widely grown variety of Speciosum. Flowering bulbs. 35c
