On the Rarest Scarcest and 
Most Desirable Lilies in €xistence 
W ITH the declaration of war the European market for 
Holland-grown Lilies disappeared instantly. England, 
which normally buys more bulbs than the rest of the 
world combined, will plant no Lilies this spring. Erance and 
Germany, each of whom ordinarily plant more than we do in the 
United States, are buying only war munitions. Poland and C 2 ;echo' 
Slovakia no longer exist, while Einland is locked in a death struggle 
with her giant neighbor, Russia. Even the Scandinavian countries, 
to say nothing of the Balkan states, have quit the Holland Lily 
market in order to save their money for use in the war which may 
hit them next. 
Since Lilies cannot be sold to the European belligerents, our 
Dutch growers called us on Transatlantic Telephone and offered 
us the bulbs intended for those countries at one-half the pre-war 
price. We bought all we dared, though not all we would like to 
have. We had to take title in Holland and with Nazi submarines 
prowling the Atlantic indiscriminately torpedoing ships, our Lilies 
might end at the bottom of the sea. So it didn’t look like good 
business for us to buy more than we could afford to pay for with¬ 
out going broke should the Germans torpedo them. Consequently, 
we can fill orders for these bulbs only while they last, 
after which we must say that we are sorry when we turn 
down your late order. 
The price of these Lily bulbs is the final delivered price. 
There are no postage or express bills to be added. 
The bulbs are now in the United States 
and orders will be filled immediately. 
Elegant Lily (Elegans, Mixed). The number of colors found in 
this group defy description. Gorgeous red and orange shades, 
rich purples and crimsons, delicate pale lemon-yellows, stunning 
orange-browns, all are here and more. Blooms in late June and 
continues through July when other garden flowers are getting 
scarce. Regular price, $2.75 per doz. War price, ^1.38 per 
doz.; 3 for 54c. 
Flame Lily (Tenuifolium). Graceful flowers with sharply recurved, 
waxy petals colored an intense, brilliant, gleaming scarlet, which 
will make an accent that none can miss. It 
grows 18 inches high and flowers in June. 
Unlike most Lilies, Tenuifolium will stand 
considerable shade. Regular price, $1.75 
per doz. War price, 88c per doz.; 3 for 38c. 
Royal Lily (Regale). The flower is flushed 
yellow, shading to white. Externally the 
flowers are reddish brown with a delightful 
pearly tint. Truly a royal Lily and most 
extraordinarily beautiful. Blooms in July. 
Regular price, $4.00 per doz. War price, 
^1.88 per doz.; 3 for 73c. 
Showy Pink Lily (Speciosum Magnificum). 
The magnificent pink twin of the incompar¬ 
able Showy White Lily and a perfect foil 
for its white color. Like the Showy White 
Lily, it produces 10 to 12 flowers in a clus¬ 
ter on the top of a 4-foot stem and blooms 
in September. The flowers are colored the 
loveliest imaginable ruby-carmine with a 
white margin. Regular price, $3.50 per doz. 
War price, ^1.75 per doz.; 3 for 74c. 
SHOWY PINK LILY 
(Speciosum Magnificum) 
Showy White Lily (Speciosum Album). Cost alone has heretofore 
prevented this stately, pure and serene beauty from growing in 
every garden. No flower known to horticulture has a better 
form, or grows in a more graceful manner. The color is glisten¬ 
ing snow-white, and through the center of each petal runs a 
golden green stripe. In sharp contrast stand out the anthers, 
colored copper. Finally, it blooms in September, the month 
during which the garden is barest. Very hardy and easy to grow. 
Reg. price, $4.50 per doz. War price, $ 2.25 per doz.; 3 for 84c. 
Showy Yellow Lily (Henryi). Gorgeous apricot flowers, twenty or 
more in a bunch, carried on stalks 8 feet tall. Flowers in August 
and September. A truly splendid Lily and one which will grow 
in the half-shade as well as in the sun. Regular price, $4.00 per 
doz. War price, ^1.99 per doz.; 3 for 77c. 
Sunset Lily (Pardalinum Giganteum). Last fall when the bulbs 
cost more than $17.00 a dozen, only a few of us could afford to 
plant this spectacular giant of the Lily family. At the war price, 
all of us will want it. At the top of tbe canes, which often grow 
8 feet tall, will be a cluster of a dozen or more flowers. And 
what flowers! First a star of rich yellow closely dotted with 
brown spots. Beyond the star the flower is a brilliant, vivid or¬ 
ange-red, intense and startling. And with all its size and splendor 
it is one of the easiest Lilies to grow. Blooms in July. Regular 
price, $17.45 per doz. War price, $ 5.56 per doz.; 3 for ^1.19. 
Tiger Lily (Tigrinum). Your grandmother, who appreciated the 
finer things of life and had all she could get of them, planted 
Tiger Lilies almost automatically and as a matter of course. She 
knew the Tiger Lily is one of the richest, most colorful and 
satisfactory plants in existence. The flowers, perfect in shape, 
are colored dark, rich salmon-orange, spotted intense glossy 
black. And the Tiger Lily, flowering in August and September, 
is robust, of easy culture and absolutely hardy. Regular price, 
$2.75 per doz. War price, 98c per doz.; 3 for 38c.
