Lilium Pardalinum Giganteum 
Vigorous, hardy, of easiest culture, 
and dependable. Much more cannot 
be said. Under ideal conditions the 
stalks attain 7 feet, clothed with lux¬ 
urious foliage and bearing a dozen 
or more beautiful flowers in July. The 
petals are somewhat recurving, and a 
brilliant sunset-red, base of flower yel¬ 
low heavily spotted with small brown 
dots. The "Sunset Lily" is one of the 
most satisfactory ever grown.

(The Regal Lily) 
Also known as "Excelsum" and as the "Nankeen Lily." One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone, amost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beauti¬ 
ful for every kind of garden use 
but because of its tender color¬ 
ing, must be planted in a mixed 
border with brighter flowers. In 
combination with light-shaded 
Delphiniums or with the Ma¬ 
donna Lily, which it resembles, 
it is most effective. It has the 
texture of Lilium Candidum, 
with reflexed petals and does 
well under the same conditions 
as Candidum. Four to five feet 
high, June-July flowering. (Col¬ 
or illustration, page 0.) 
Not unlike the Regal Lily in general appearance. The slender 
stem is covered with the same grassy foliage as the Regal Lily. 
The substantial blooms are trumpet-like; in fact, they are long, 
lovely white flowers, with a beautiful pale emerald-green throat 
which gives the flower a distinct 
and delicate appearance. They 
commence blooming in early 
August and flower until stopped 
by frost. Bulbs when established 
will produce three to four spikes 
each with four to five blooms. 
It is a most liberal flowering 
Lily, to all of which may be 
added that they are among the 
easiest grown. September flow¬ 
ering. (Color illustration, page

(Madonna Lily) 
The Madonna Lily is one of the love¬ 
liest of white Lilies, popular throughout 
the world, loved and admired by all. Its 
delightful fragrance and lovely white 
flowers have made it a universal symbol 
of purity. Plant it in groups of three or 
more bulbs, close to the pale blue Del¬ 
phinium Belladonna. It will be the love¬ 
liest spot in your garden during late 
June and early July. Madonna Lilies 
are simple to grow if you will plant in 
full sun and perfectly drained soil. Most 
Madonna Lilies are grown in France. 
Bulbs from the north of France are 
better than thase grown in Southern 
France. We offer, therefore. Northern 
France grown bulbs as follows; 
The Regal Lily 
One of the grandest of Lilies. They have a mys' 
terious way of at night'fall sending out their fra' 
grance in puffs, while at all times having a delight' 
ful odor when “nosed.”

One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in 
cultivation—"Lilium Regale" is truly a Royal Lily, worthy of a 
place in every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigor¬ 
ous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered 
with fine foliage. Center of flower flushed with yellow shading to 
white at outer edges; externolly the flowers are streaked with 
brown on the "ribs," shaded through the almost translucent petals 
with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the color of the 
reverse of the petals and the gold shading of the throat is ex¬ 
traordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when 
thoroughly established, bears as high as 1 8 to 20 flowers during 
the season. 
Fall-planted bulbs should be protected against freezing. (Colar
