LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 


L. CANADENSE FLAVUM 
L, Canadense (Eastern North America). One of the most widely distributed of 
our native lilies and likewise one of the best. Graceful bell-shaped flowers 
are produced in early July on tall stems. The blooms are generally yellow 
spotted chocolate. A distinct red form is more rare than the type. Best in 
partial shade and light woodland soil. Height 2 to 5 feet. Plant 6 to 8 
inches deep. October-November delivery. 
Flavum, the golden yellow type. 25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. 
Rubrum, the orange red form. 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Candidum (Europe). The well known Madonna or Annunciation lily is the 
oldest of cultivated lilies in Europe and probably the most popular of all 
lilies. The flowers are pure white trumpets with golden anthers and pos- 
sess a delightful fragrance. Due to the rosette of leaves produced in the 
fall early planting is imperative, August and September being the proper 
months. The bulbs should be covered with not more than 2 to 3 inches of 
soil. This lily is generally considered at its best planted in a well sweet- 
ened soil and a sunny situation. Height 4-6 feet. June flowering. Medium 
size bulbs, 25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Large size bulbs, 50c 
each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. Mammoth bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen, 
$56.00 per 100. 
L. Candidum Salonikae Variety. An earlier flowering, disease resistant form of 
the above. Strong flowering size, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Catesbaei (Southeastern United States). This lily is a rather rare native species 
carrying erect, cup-shaped flowers somewhat similar to L. Philadelphicum. 
The blooms, scarlet and yellow boldly spotted brown, are borne singly on 
stems 1 to 2 feet in height. An attractive plant but unfortunately not hardy 
in our northern states, where it is best treated as a cool greenhouse subject. 
Being a true swamp lily, the bulbs should never be allowed to dry out. 
Plant 2 to 3 inches deep in a partly shaded location and a soil abundant in 
peat. Handled in pots in a greenhouse the plants are practically evergreen. 
July flowering. Bulbs of this lily are never large. First size bulbs, 50c each, 
$5.00 dozen. October delivery.
