NEW HYBRID LILY 
X Shuksan Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
A new Hybrid Lily with a great future and charm. Also a fine bill of 
health. Through careful cultivation a very high state of health has been 
maintained and we have never seen any bulbs infected with mosaic; that 
fatal disease some Lilies are subject to. Shuksan is a very vigorous 
grower, 5 to 6 feet tall and produces its flowers in open heads, 15 to 25 
flowers on 1 plant Is not unusual. The color is a soft buff-yellow broken 
by large quite widely spaced soft brown spots. At opening, the flowers 
are star-like. The petals reflex and roll back when in full bloom. Flowers 
last a week when cut. 
LILIUM PHILIPPINENSE 
White Triumph Each $0.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $30.00 
This is a much improved form, without markings. The glistening pure 
white trumpet-like flowers are produced in abundance over a long period 
in late summer and fall. It will replace the old type entirely in the near 
future. 
LILIUM LONGIFLORUM 
Praecox, White Queen (Outdoor Variety) Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This hardy variety of Easter Lily is a type developed for garden use only. 
It is grown from seed and disease proof. Of easy culture, multiplies well 
and has a long life. Here is a Lily you should have in your garden. Ordi¬ 
nary soil well-drained is all it needs to do well. A variety with a great 
future. 
NEW HYBRID LILY 
X Orange Triumph Each $1.25, Doz. $12.50 
An exceptionally fine Lily, generally considered to be a hybrid between 
Lilium Croceum and Lilium Umbellatum. It grows about 4 to 5 feet tall, 
producing up to 15 and sometimes even more large cup-shaped flowers of 
orange-yellow, flushed salmon-orange, with few dark brown spots. Flowers 
in June. We recommend this variety very highly, because it is disease- 
proof and of easy cultivation. Its robust growth makes it a bold hand¬ 
some garden voriety. 
LILIUM PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM 
Sunset Lily Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
Vigorous, hardy, of easiest culture, and dependable. Much more can¬ 
not be said. Under ideal conditions the stalks attain 7 feet, clothed with 
luxurious foliage and bearing a dozen or more beautiful flowers in July. 
The petals are somewhat recurving, and a brilliant sunset-red, base of 
flower yellow, heavily spotted with small brown dots. The "Sunset Lily" 
is one of the most satisfactory ever grown.

Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Gold Medal 
Lilium Hybridum, Orange Triumph 
These are the magnificent new Montbretias, which have attracted so 
much attention during the past few years at the Royal Horticultural Society's 
Shows in late summer and during autumn. They are a great advance on the 
older varieties, being generally taller and more robust in growth, while the 
flowers are of greater size and beauty, some of them measuring 3 to 4 inches 
in diameter. They make first-class border plants and are of great decora¬ 
tive value for cutting. 
GROWING BULBS IN POTS—SURE TO BLOOM (or Dormant Bulbs If You Wish) 
Culture. Montbretias are of easy culture. They flower 
freely and require perhaps less care than most bulbs. They 
do porticulariy well in the border in light shade or full 
sun. A clump of a half dozen or more bulbs will continue 
flowering throughout the late summer and autumn. Rich 
soil helps to grow tall spikes. A liberal amount of well- 
rotted manure or bone meal applied at planting time is 
very beneficial. Water freely in dry weather. Bulbs may 
be left in the ground over winter with reasonable pro¬ 
tection of strawy manure or garden litter. South of Phila¬ 
delphia no protection is required. It has been common 
practice to send dry or dormant bulbs for planting. We 
find, however, that valuable growing time is lost, result¬ 
ing in too few blooms. Therefore, unless we are instructed 
otherwise we send you growing bulbs in pots without addi¬ 
tional charge. These growing bulbs establish at once and 
give you several more weeks of bloom. Failure is abso¬ 
lutely prevented. We are sure you will like this method 
of buying and planting this lovely late summer flower.
