"Llimbing Lily” 
GLORIOSA ROTHSCHILDIANA, the last word in 
a showy perennial lily that combines vivid colors 
with grace and beauty; far more beautiful than the 
poor illustration. The airy, lovely flower is a thril¬ 
ling combination of scarlet, orange and orchid-gold 
and has fine keeping qualities. Blooms twice a 
year, summer and autumn, profusely; grows to 4 
or 5 feet high, twining like a climber; easy to grow, 
a really indispensable rare garden treasure. May be 
grown either in pots or in the open garden. 
Blooming size tubers, prepaid anywhere with 
growing directions, 6 for $3.75; 3 for $2.00; 
each 7 5c. 
FOR BLUE IN YOUR GARDEN notice the offerings 
in this catalog of Campanulas, Blue Geranium, 
Salvias, Columbines, Delphiniums, Blue Cup Flow¬ 
er, Violets, Wisteria and the lovely and rare Com- 
melina and "Firmament” Chinese Forget-me-not. 
THE REGAL LILY, "Glorious Lily,” 
because it is the easiest of all to grow, 
anywhere in this country, should be in 
every garden. The gray-green stems, up 
to 6 feet or more in height, are crowned 
with large clusters, sometimes 30 or 
more, of huge white flowers with golden 
throats and anthers, deliciously frag¬ 
rant. Most effective grown near delphin¬ 
iums, campanulas or certain roses. 
Blooming size bulbs, 4 inches or 
over around, each 15c; 10 for 80c; 
2 5 for $1.5 0, prepaid.

grass, per pkt. 2 5c.

Loral Lily 
LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM, native of Nor¬ 
thern Asia; a diminutive Lily that 
grows 14 to 18 inches high, with 
narrow, grass-like leaves mostly about 
the center of the stem, bearing nodding, 
recurved flowers of glistening deep coral 
red. The flower pistil is tipped with 
purple, "like an amethyst in a coral 
setting,” and the flower is fragrant. 
Blooms in June, July to August. Should 
be planted 4 or 5 inches deep. Abso¬ 
lutely hardy, likes sun and is the perfect 
lily for a rock garden. 
Flowering size bulbs to bloom the 
first season, 10, (no less sold) for 
50c; 25 for 85c; 100, for a glorious 
mass planting, for $2.50.
