(Madonna Lily) 
(Color illustration, page 27.) The Madonna Lily is one of the 
loveliest of white Lilies, popular throughout the world, loved and 
admired by all. Its delightful fragrance and lovely white flowers 
have made it a universal symbol of purity. Plant it in groups of 
three or more bulbs, close to the pale blue Delphinium Belladonna. 
It will be the loveliest spot in your garden during late June and 
early July. Madonna Lilies are simple to grow if you will plant in 
full sun and perfectly drained soil. Most Madonna Lilies are grown 
in France. Bulbs from the north of France are better than those 
grown in Southern France. We offer, therefore. Northern France

(The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in 
cultivation—"Lilium Regale" is truly a Royal Lily, worthy of a 
place in every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigor- 
aus grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered 
with fine foliage. Center of flower flushed with yellow shading to 
white at outer edges; externally the flowers are streaked with 
brown on the "ribs," shaded through the almost translucent petals 
with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the color of the 
reverse of the petals and the gold shading of the throat is ex¬ 
traordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when 
thoroughly established, bears as high as 1 8 to 20 flowers during 
the season. (Color illustration, page 33.)

J^dium ^eslcLceum 
Also known as "Excelsum" and as the "Nankeen Lily." One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone, amost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use but 
because of its tender coloring, must be planted in a mixed border 
with brighter flowers. In combination witli light-shaded Delphiniums 
or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles, it is most effective. 
It has the texture of Lilium Candidum, with reflexed petals and 
does well under the same conditions as Candidum. Four to five feet 
high, June-July flowering. (Color illustration, page 27.)
