HARDY PERENNIAL LIST—Continued

The Hardy Lilies 
Lilies are the most fragrant and beautiful of 
all bulbous plants and stand first in that class 
with their graceful habit and rich coloring making 
them invaluable for decoration, either as cut 
flowers or border plants. All Lilies demand good 
drainage. They should be planted in open, porous 
soil. Surround the bulb with sand and plant them 
on their sides. All bulbs offered below are large 
flowering sizes. 
Candidum. (Madonna Lily). Waxy pure white. 
Cover bulb with only 3 inches of soil. Large 
bulbs, 50c; doz., $5.00. 
Regale Lily 
Henryi. Orange-yellow, reflexing flowers appear 
in August. 8-10 feet. Plant bulb 10 inches 
deep. Each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 
Regale. This is the hardiest of all Lilies and 
perhaps the most beautiful. The flowers are 
very fragrant, funnel-shaped, with rose-purple 
back; yellow throat and marble-white face. 
Plant bulbs 10 inches deep. Remember this; 
all Lily bulbs should be laid on their sides 
when planted and the Regale is no exception. 
Mammoth sized bulbs. Each, 30c; doz:. $3.00. 
Tenuifolium. This is an extra tall strain we have 
developed by selection. Brilliant coral reflex¬ 
ing flowers carried on wiry stems 2 to 4 feet 
tall. It is very satisfactory. Plant 6 inches 
deep. Each, 25c; dozen $2.50. 
Golden Gleam. A sport of the above except it is 
orange rather than coral. Each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 
Pardalinum giganteum. The Leopard Lily, native 
of California. It grows from 3 to 7 feet tall. 
Considered a glorified tiger lily. Carries up to 
thirty flowers on a stem. Each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 
Tiger Lily. The most widely grown Lily of all. 
Dark salmon-orange. Very hardy. Plant 8 
inches deep. Each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 
Plantation Lily. This is of the Easter Lily flowering 
type. It has been growing in the south for 
over 100 years. It is not hardy, but it can be 
lifted like Dahlias and stored in sand over 
winter. Large bulbs, each 50c; doz., $5.00. 
Umbellatum. We believe this deep orange-red is 
the best of the many varieties. Strong upright 
grower, very healthy. Each, 25c; doz., $2.50.
