L. Maximowiczii Wadai (Wada’'s variety). A distinct form of L. Maximowiczii 
from Manchuria with larger flowers. than the type. The stems are tall, 
often attaining six feet, and the thick petaled flowers are a deep orange red 
spotted mahogany. A very brilliant and easily cultivated lily flowering 
from mid-June to early July. Produces numerous bulblets on its underground 
stem. Same culture as the type. Flowering bulbs 35¢ each, $3.50 dozen. 
L. Maxwill (Hybrid). An exceptionally fine hybrid lily, considered by many as 
the most outstanding introduction of recent years. As indicated by its name, 
the plant is a cross of L. Willmottiae and L. Maximowiczii and fortunately 
carries most of the desirable qualities of both lilies. The foliage is similar to 
L. Willmottiae but the flowers are larger and of a more brilliant orange red. 
The stem is stiff as with L. Maximowiczii and rises to a height of from 5 to 6 
feet, bearing up to 20 blooms. L. Maxwill is endowed with an extremely 
robust constitution and will establish readily under ordinary garden culture. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in sun or partial shade and in a well drained posi- 
tion. July flowering. Flowering bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. Large bulbs, 
75c each, $7.50 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Medeoloides (Japan). A delightful little rock garden lily often called the 
‘Wheel Lily of Japan” due to the single whorl of leaves appearing about 
half way up the stem. The flowers are of the Martagon type varying in 
color from apricot to scarlet with black spots, although some of the flowers 
may be unspotted. Quite hardy and easily grown in a partly shaded situa- 
tion. The plant rarely exceeds 18 inches in height. Plant 3 to 5 inches deep 
in soil containing an abundance of leaf mold and with good drainage. 
Blooming period, June-July. Flowering size bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen.

to 3 feet. Plant 5 inches deep. Blooming period, late July. First size bulbs, 
40c each, $4.00 dozen. October-November delivery.

India, with fragrant trumpet shaped flowers of a creamy white flushed with 
yellow at the throat. The most southern of all lilies in native habitat and
