HANSONII. In every way most desirable, not particular 
in its cultural requirements and extremely handsome in 
flower; does well in light loam. Plant among shrubs and 
low plants to protect young shoots, this being one of the 
earliest lilies to appear in spring. Does as well in thin 
woodland as it does in the border. Protect from full sun, 
otherwise the flower will bleach a little. The stem reaches 
a height of 4 to 5 feet, carrying blossoms 2 inches across, 
regularly reflexed, the petals being of a bright orange- 
yellow, spotted more or less with brown; of a waxy tex- 
ture. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 10 inches deep; 
June-flowering. Extra heavy selected bulbs, $6.50 for 
10; $62.50 per 100. A smaller, good, flowering bulb, 
$4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100. 
HUMBOLDTII MAGNIFICUM. Stout, erect stem, with 
whorls of leaves at regular intervals. Numerous droop- 
ing flowers borne in loose, triangular clusters of bril- 
liant golden yellow, spotted with purple on the reflexed 
petals; showy; prefers deep, peaty soil, but will grow in 
any well drained soil, which must be deep, for the roots 
go straight down. It produces a splendid flowering plant; 
5 feet high. Base-roots; fall planting only, 4 inches 
deep; June-July flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, 
$9.00 for 10; $87.50 per 100. 
JAPONICUM (Krameri). This is one of the few “pink” 
lilies of our gardens, and a very lovely thing it is. The 
flowers are carried horizontally on stems 3 feet high. 
It is a lily so beautiful and of a color so lovely and un- 
usual that it is worth taking pains with. It roots from the 
stem as well as from the bulb, and therefore should be 
planted rather deep, fully 8 inches. The funnel-shaped, 
finely formed flowers are 6 inches or more in length, 
and as much across, of a beautiful pink color often 
shaded blush. Late fall or early spring planting; stem 
roots. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $6.00 for 10; $57.50 
per 100. A smaller, strong, flowering bulb, $4.75 for 
10; $45.00 per 100. 
MARTAGON. Strong growing lily, producing from 20 
to 30 light, spotted, purple flowers when established; 
very graceful, vigorous and floriferous. Base-rooting; 
fall planting only, 6 inches deep. Extra selected bulbs, 
$6.25 for 10; $60.00 per 100. 
MARTAGON ALBUM. The appearance of these lilies 
is graceful and delightful in the extreme. Rising on slen- 
der stems, 4, 5, and sometimes nearly 6 feet high, the 
numerous drooping, waxlike, white ““Turk’s Cap” flow- 
ers, with yellow-tipped stamens, look inexpressibly fas- 
cinating. The small flowers are symmetrical in shape, 
with reflexed petals, and are borne in terminal, pyramid- 
shaped clusters. The Martagon lily does wonderfully 
well in the shade of trees. Few, if any, stem-roots; fall 
planting only, 6 inches deep; June-flowering. Extra 
heavy, selected bulbs, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; $87.50 
per 100. 
TENUIFOLIUM. A charming little early flowering lily 
with strongly recurved petals of waxy texture; deep 
scarlet. A gem in the rock garden or border. Likes a cool, 
damp, loamy soil and partial shade. Stem-roots: fall 
planting only, 7 inches deep; early June-flowering. Extra 
selected bulbs, $2.25 for 10; $25.00 per 100. A smaller, 
good, flowering bulb, $2.00 for 10; $17.50 per 100. 
TENUIFOLIUM, GOLDEN GLEAM. A beautiful, robust, 
and floriferous hybrid of this type, bearing numerous 
flowers of a pure apricot-yellow. A very elegant and fine 
plant. Flowers splendidly every year and is always much 
admired. Stem-roots; fall planting only, 7 inches deep: 
early June-flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $3.25 
for 10; $30.00 per 100. A smaller, good, flowering bulb, 
$2.25 for 10; $20.00 per 100. See illustration, page 43. 
TENUIFOLIUM, RED STAR. A greatly improved L. 
tenuifolium with much larger and stronger flowers and 
stem. Received three Awards of Merit during various 
1937 summer exhibitions. $3.25 for 10; $30.00 per 100. 
TESTACEUM. This beautiful lily is also known as “Ex- 
celsum” and as the “Nankeen Lily.” The dull apricot 
tone, set off by orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself. There is a tender warmth in the color of this 
charming lily. It is the most graceful of all. It often 
grows from 5 to 6 feet high when established, and the 
horizontally poised heads of drooping flowers wave in a 
breeze in a graceful way. Beautiful in combination with 
light shaded delphiniums or with the Madonna lily, 
which it resembles in the disposal of its leaves on the 
stem and in a certain grace of habit. It is also a good 
lily for pot culture. June-July flowering. Extra heavy, 
selected bulbs, $2.50 each; $24.00 for 10. 
UMBELLATUM GRANDIFLORUM. A very free flower- 
ing lily of easy culture. Carries large umbellate heads of 
light orange-red flowers. Extra selected bulbs, $3.25 
for 10; $30.00 per 100. A smaller, good, flowering 
bulb, $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100. 
WASHINGTONIANUM. A beautiful lily with fragrant, 
drooping white flowers on a stem 4 to 5 feet in height. 
The reverse of the flowers has a tinge ranging from light 
pink to a deep wine color. This lily requires a thorough- 
ly drained situation; it does exceedingly well when 
once established. Stem-rooting; June-July flowering; 
plant in fall only, 10 inches deep. Extra selected bulbs, 
$1.00 each; $8.00 for 10; $77.50 per 100. 
JULY-FLOWERING LILIES 
CENTIFOLIUM. In general appearance it resembles a 
huge Lilium Sulphureum or Brownii, with long, tubular, 
white flowers, colored and streaked externally with 
yellow at the base of the trumpet. This is a giant among 
lilies, and has proved quite hardy. Fall planting only, 
8 inches deep; July-flowering. Extra selected bulbs, 
$3.00 each; $27.50 for 10. Smaller, strong, flowering 
bulbs, $2.00 each; $17.50 for 10. Smaller, 2-year-old 
bulbs, $1.50 each; $12.50 for 10. 
KELLOGGII. A rare and beautiful lily, growing 2 to 3 
feet high, bearing closely recurved “pink” flowers like 
those of the “Turk’s Cap” lily. Very graceful and fra- 
grant. It belongs to the Martagon group and succeeds 
best on the outskirts of a woodland where the roots are 
shaded. Base-roots; fall planting only, about 5 inches 
deep; July-flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $7.50 
each; $12.50 for 10.
