from our own mile-high gardens will bring radiant new beauty to your garden. Our long, cold winters and short cool summers to¬ 
gether with our rich irrigated soil and painstaking cultural methods produce the finest lily bulbs money can buy. 
Our list is short because the rigorous climate makes short work of “doubtfully hardy” species. It’s a happy coincidence that the show¬ 
iest lilies are also the hardiest; no matter where you live if you can grow radishes and zinnias you can grow these lilies. These bulbs 
will be freshly dug for each order, carefully packed to reach you wkh roots intact, roots and bulbs plump and full of vitality. Don’t ex¬ 
pect good lilies from bulbs with wilted roots and shriveled scales. Complete cultural directions with everj 7 order. 
L. TENUIFOLIUM, earliest of all—and one of the most colorful. 
Late May and early June, it’s almost a month from the opening of 
the first bud to the tip. Slender stems clothed with narrow, 
grassy foliage carry 15 to 25 (sometimes 50 or more) two-inch 
deliciously fragrant blooms of sparkling scarlet color and waxen 
texture. Ordinary Coral lilies grow only 18 to 24 inches tall but 
Richards’ superb strain, the result of several generations of in¬ 
tensive selection for more blooms on taller stems, average three 
to four feet tall with many four to five foot specimens. 
(Coral lilies never make large bulbs, as compared to large bulbs of other 
lilies. A bu b 2 to 3 inches in circumference is a good large blooming size in 
this variety, and one 3 inches or more in circumference is a real jumbo). 
L. tenuifolium is especially showy in mass plantings. Plant in 
beds of 50, 100 or more for a really gorgeous show.

jumbo, at least 3 inches circumference .20c ea. 12 for $2.00, 100 for $12.50 
L. TIGRINUM, the old fashioned tiger lily is unequalled for high, barbaric 
color in late July and early August when most perennials are out of bloom. 
Recurved blooms of orange shaded scarlet, thickly spotted mahogany brown. 
Plant this in masses of one to several hundred in a place for a really 
spectacular show!

blooming size, 3 inches circumference-25 for $1.50; 100 for $4.00; 1000, $30.00 
L. HENRYI, another central Chinese lily with heavy reddish purple stems and 
an abundance of wide, rich grqen foliage; very hardy and vigorous. Henry's 
lily closes the long lily season, blooming in August and early September. 
Nodding, recurved blooms of orange chrome with emerald green hearts and 
many horn-like papillae. Easily grown to se.ven feet though the average is 
nearer five. Fades somewhat in bright sun and should have light shade or 
may be brought into the house where it will bloom out with unusually rich 
color and last a long time. 
large, at least 7 inches circumference _30c each; 12 for $2.50; 100 for $17.50 
jumbo, at least 9 inches circumference ....40c each; 12 for $4.00; 100 for $28.00 
Li. CMBELLATCM (Crown lily), blooms borne in upright clusters in late 
June. Brilliant red tinted orange. Very satisfactory in a mixed perennial 
border. Large bulbs, at least 5 inches circumference 25c each; 12 for $2.00 
L. REGALE, one of the most beautiful and happily one of the easiest to grow 
(only one thing it must have, perfect drainage). Slender, arching stems three 
to five feet tall carry many long narrow leaves with eight to 20 huge trumpet 
shaped blooms in early July. Color white, canary yellow deep in throat and 
varying tones of pink and rose shading the outside. Heavily perfumed. A 
bed of five or six dozen Regal lilies is the most glorious sight in the early 
summer garden.

jumbo, at least 8 inches circumference.35c each, 12 for $3.50, 100 for $24.00 
L. WILLMOTTIAE, Miss Willmott's lily resembles a smaller and more refined 
tigrinum; pinkish orange with purple spots; many blooms on gracefully arch¬ 
ing stems in late July. Discovered in the mountains of Central China and 
introduced in this country only a few years ago, stock has never been plentiful 
and is usual’y sold at much higher prices.
