Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, the romance of the far corners of the 
eorth in which many of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild crannies 
of America to delight you with their different grace and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors that offer 
you the pleasure of "pointing with pride." Growing some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoyment and satis¬ 
faction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Lilies ore beginning to take their rightful place in American gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty 
but because of their challenge to the gardener's originality and skill. As a group they are not the easiest flowers to 
grow; but in the past 20 years or so it has been demonstrated that they are not particularly difficult either— just 
enough so to stimulate gardening interest. And they pay you well in distinctive results, a steady parade of chang¬ 
ing bloom from early June to late September. 
Easily Grown Exceptionally Lovely Lilies 
Among those easily cultivated, certainly you want the fragrant whiteness of Madonna Lilies (Lilium Candi- 
dum). We import most of them from Northern France, but those for late planting come from Holland. In combin¬ 
ation with blue Delphinium they make a gorgeous late spring showing. The Nankeen Lily (Lilium Testaceum) 
gives you the brilliance of warm apricot petols against bright orange anthers, a perfect companion for light-toned 
Delphiniums or snowy Madonnas. Or there's the Sunset Lily that soars as high as your head and bursts in a dozen 
or more flowers of a radiant sunset-red that pales to yellow sprinkled with brown dots at the base. Or the mag¬ 
nificent Regal Lily, gold-throated, with white translucent petals that are brown streaked on the outside; the new 
Shukson Hybrid Lily, head high with twenty or more gorgeous buff-yellow blooms spotted brown which last ten 
days or more when cut. Don't miss the enjoyment and adventure of them and many others. 
Planting times of Lilies differ so we ship your bulbs to reach you at 
the right moment for immediate planting. Like all Wayside Gardens 
bulbs, they are imported ordy from preferred growers — and are the 
professional choice of their stocks, at that. This fact, plus the careful 
instructions with each shipment, assures you of success with them. 
But while we guarantee arrived of your bulbs in good condition and 
will replace damaged bulbs if notified promptly, we do not guarantee 
they'll bloom because results do depend on a gardener’s following 
instructions exactly. 
Our extraordinarily long and complete list of Lilies includes the 
standard recognized easily-grown varieties as well as a group of new 
hybrids of recent introduction, now available in quantity—besides a 
page of very rare Lilies for collectors, which are imported on order 
only and not carried in stock.

For Garden Planting 
NEW HYBRID LILY 
X Shuksan Each $125, Doz. $12.50 
A new Hybrid Lily with a great future and charm. Also a fine 
bill of health. Through coreful cultivation a very high state of 
health hos been maintained and we have never seen any bulbs 
infected with mosaic; that fatal disease some Lilies ore subject 
to. Shuksan is a very vigorous grower, 5 to 6 feet toll and 
produces its flowers in open heads, 1 5 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 lost a week when cut. (Color illustrotion, page 
28.) 
NEW HYBRID LILY 
X Orange Triumph Each $125, 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 handsome garden variety. 
LILIUM PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM 
Sunset Lily Each $0.35, Doz. $3.50 
Vigorous, hardy, of easiest culture, and dependable. Much 
more cannot 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 re¬ 
curving, 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. (Color illustration, 
page 28.)
