LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 


L. Formosanum (Continued) 
Early Variety (Price's). A very hardy low growing form rarely more than one 
foot high. Flowers similar to the late type, but blooming during July and 
August. Same culture as late variety. Flowering bulbs, 25¢ each, $2.50 
dozen, $18.00 per 100. Large bulbs, 40c each, $4.00 dozen. October- De- 
cember delivery. 
Intermediate variety. This form is considerably taller than the early variety 
and flowers a week or two later. The blossoms are similar to the late form 
and the plant is especially recommended for Northern gardens where 
weather conditions do not permit growing the late variety to perfection. 
Selected bulbs 35¢ each, $3.50 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Giganteum Himalaicum (Himalayas). The tallest growing and undoubtedly 
the most imposing of all lilies. The flower spikes will attain a height of 10 
to 12 feet and well grown specimens will carry from 25 to 30 immense white 
trumpet shaped flowers, densely spotted purple on the inside of the throat. 
This lily makes an extremely large bulb which should be planted very 
shallow, the top of the bulb being barely covered with soil. Should be 
situated in a shady woodland location as it does not do well in the open 
border. Protect from strong winds. After flowering L. Giganteum produces 
offsets which should be lifted and replanted to avoid crowding. Mammoth 
flowering size bulbs, $4.00 each, Large bulbs (to flower the 2nd summer), 
$2.50 each, $25.00 dozen. Smaller bulbs (to flower the 3rd summer), $1.50 
each, $15.00 dozen. We recommend the purchase of one or more bulbs of 
each size to provide an annual display. Cycles of three bulbs (one of each 
size) are offered at $7.50. October-December delivery. 
L. Grayi (Eastern United States). A dainty native lily from the mountains of Vir- 
ginia and North Carolina with funnel-shaped orange red flowers densely 
spotted with brownish purple. Best grown in partial shade, although it will 
do quite well in full sun. Plant 4 inches deep in a moist but well drained 
situation. Height, 2 to 4 feet. Blooming period, July. Strong flowering size 
bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. October-November delivery. 
L. Glow (Hybrid). This L. Philadelphicum x L. Dauricum hybrid closely resembles 
the former lily in form and marking of the flowers. The blooms are, how- 
ever, larger than L. Philadelphicum and the foliage heavier. The cup- 
shaped flowers are a deep glowing reddish orange and are carried on 
strong 2 foot stems. One of the earliest lilies to bloom, late May to early 
June. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep in a sunny location. Strong flowering bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. October-November delivery. 
L. Grace Marshall (Hybrid). One of the finest of the new hybrid lilies produced 
at the Ottawa, Canada, Experimental Farm by crossing L. Willmottiae with 
a seedling of L. Elegans x L. Dauricum. The deep red reflexed flowers are 
held more horizontally to the stem than in L. Willmottiae and the plant will 
carry as many as 30 such blossoms. The stems are from 4 to 5 feet tall, wiry 
and erect with no wandering habit. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in sun or part 
shade and a well prepared soil. July flowering. Stock limited. Selected 
bulbs, $3.00 each, $30.00 dozen. October-November delivery.
