HARDY LILY SEEDS 
Raising Lilies from seed is recommended to insure healthy and vigorous stock and it has been proven that seed saved 
from Lilies even when the parent plants have shown signs of disease has produced perfectly healthy bulbs. 
In the open ground seed may be sown in late Fall as hard freezing does not injure the seed; in fact, it may aid germination 
in Spring. Sowing in Spring is also a suitable time as in many cases strong enough plants may have developed by Fall to with¬ 
stand the Winter with a mulching of leafmold or litter. The approved place is a raised bed in a partially shaded situation. 
Sow the seed to a depth of 1 inch and water the bed frequently in dry weather.

Lilium Maxwill 
THE PRIZE-WINNING LILY 
Over two years ago we placed this wonderful new Lily before the 
public. After giving it a fair trial we had been convinced that it is 
one of the finest Hybrid Lilies of recent introduction. In fact since 
its introduction, this Lily has not only maintained its reputation 
but has considerably enhanced it. In two or three years five and 
even six giant stems have been known to spring from one bulb 
originally planted. It is the only Lily to receive the Cory Cup of 
The Royal Horticultural Society, for the best plant introduced in 
any one year, this award being only given to a plant of really 
outstanding merit. 
Lilium Maxwill is a cross between L. Maximowiczi and L. Will- 
mottiae, combining the free flowering qualities of the latter with 
the sturdiness and grace of the former parent. The color is a strik¬ 
ing bright red, the stamens being orange-red. The numerous 
reflexed flowers have the habit of looking one straight in the face. 
Height 6 ft. Blooms late July. 
Strong flowering bulbs, $1.25 each, 3 for $3.50, $12.00 per doz. 
Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
(LILIUM FORMOSANUM) 
We believe this to be one of the most satisfactory of all hardy 
white Lilies. From the original tall, late flowering variety, dis¬ 
covered by E. H. Wilson in the island of Formosa, we have selected 
a very fine, pure white strain which we now offer. 
The long, grass-like foliage extends almost to the long, tubular 
shaped flowers. The fragrance is quite pleasing. 
Bulbs measuring 6 in. in diameter, 50c. each, 3 for $1.35, 
$5.00 per doj?., $38.00 per 100
