LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Cordatum (syn. L. Cordifolium) (Japan). Somewhat similar to Lilium Giganteum 
of which it was at one time considered a variety. A fine woodland lily 
attractive not only for its flowers hut also for its foliage. The heart-shaped 
leaves, on first appearance, are stained purple gradually changing to a 
glossy green. The trumpet-shaped flowers are creamy white and somewhat 
more horizontal than L. Giganteum. Do not plant deeply but rather so that 
the top of the bulb is barely covered with soil. Succeeds best in the partial 
shade of open woodland. Produces early top growth in the spring which 
may require some protection from late frosts. Height, 4 to 5 feet. July 
blooming. Selected bulbs, 60c each, $3.00 dozen. October-December de¬ 
livery. 
L. Croceum (syn. L. Aurantiacum) (Europe). Commonly known as the "Cottage 
Garden" or "Orange" lily and one of the easiest to grow. The stems carry as 
many as 20 brilliant pure orange upright flowers lightly spotted with dark 
orange. Will do equally well in either full sun or partial shade, although the 
color of the flowers stands up better with some shading. The true form of L. 
Croceum is often confused with strong growing types of L. Umbellatum, 
which are sometimes substituted. We offer bulbs of the true type. Plant 4 to 
5 inches deep. Height 3 to 6 feet. Blooming period, June and July. Selected 
large bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. $38.00 per 100. October-December de¬ 
livery. 
L. CROW'S HYBRIDS 
L. Crow's Hybrids. We offer selected seedlings of this magnificent strain of 
trumpet lilies, hybrids of L. Sulphurgale x L. Princeps. These plants bloom 
some two weeks later than L. Regale and, while some variance will be 
noted in their coloring, all are exceptionally vigorous and beautiful. The 
flowers generally are white with greenish golden throats and orange to dark 
brown anthers. The exterior of the petals is shaded brown, purple or green 
Well established plants will carry up to 30 flowers. Plant in sun or partial 
shade and 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 4 to 6 feet. Selected flowering bulbs, 
$2.00 each. $20.00 dozen. October-December delivery.
