LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. UMBELLATUM ERECTUM 
L. Umbellatum (Europe). This early flowering group of lilies has been justly pop¬ 
ular with garden-lovers for many years. Although often confused with forms 
of L. Elegans, the plants are quite distinct in stature and type of flowering 
when viewed together. No special care is required for success with these 
lilies and when planted in groups nothing can compare with the brilliance of 
their display. The flowers are carried upright in umbels on stout stems rang¬ 
ing from 2 to 3 feet in height. The flowering period is from June to July. 
Will thrive in sun or shade and any well drained garden soil. Plant from 
4 to 6 inches deep. The following varieties are quite distinct in coloring.
