LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Giganteum Himalaicum (Himalayas). The tallest growing and undoubtedly 
the most imposing of all lilies. The flower spikes will attain a height of 10 
to 12 feet and well grown specimens will carry from 25 to 30 immense white 
trumpet shaped flowers, densely spotted purple on the inside of the throat. 
This lily makes an extremely large bulb which should be planted very 
shallow, the top of the bulb being barely covered with soil. Should be 
situated in a shady woodland location as it does not do well in the open 
border. Protect from strong winds. After flowering L. Giganteum produces 
offsets which should be lifted and replanted to avoid crowding. Mammoth 
flowering size bulbs, S5.00 each, $50.00 dozen. Large bulbs (to flower the 
2nd summer), $3.00 each, $30.00 dozen. Smaller bulbs (to flower the 3rd 
summer), $2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. We recommend the purchase of one or 
more bulbs of each size to provide an annual display. Cycles of three 
bulbs (one of each size) are offered at $10.00. October-December delivery. 
L. GRAYI 
L. Grayi (Eastern United States). A dainty native lily from the mountains of Vir¬ 
ginia and North Carolina with funnel-shaped orange red flowers densely 
spotted with brownish purple. Best grown in partial shade, although it will 
do quite well in full sun. Plant 4 inches deep in a moist but well drained 
situation. Height, 2 to 4 feet. Blooming period, July. Strong flowering size 
bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. October-November delivery.
