REGALE (The Regal or Royal Lily). One of the most 
beautiful, and one of the hardiest lilies in cultivation; 
it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigorous grower 
with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with 
long, linear-lanceolate foliage. Center of flower flushed 
with yellow, shading to white at the outer edges; ex- 
ternally the flowers are streaked with brown on the 
“ribs,” shaded through the almost translucent petals with 
a delightful pearly tint. 
The Regal lily is very floriferous and, when thorough- 
ly established, bears as high as 18 and 20 flowers during 
the season. Like most other lilies, it should be planted 
deep—at least 9 inches, should have good drainage, and 
when growing should be watered copiously with liquid 
manure as they are gross feeders. They succeed in any 
good rich garden soil. See illustration, page 42. 
Extra heavy, selected 14-16 inch bulbs, $10.00 for 10; 
$97.50 per 100. Heavy, 12-14 inch bulbs, $7.00 for 10; 
$67.50 per 100, Strong, good, flowering, 10- to 11-inch 
bulbs, $4.00 for 10; $37.50 per 100. 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM MAGNIFICUM. Also 
known as “The Sunset Lily.” A variety which we can 
recommend very highly. The very strong spikes reach 
a height from 6 to 8 feet with very large flowers, the 
outer petals being a scarlet-orange, the inner half, bright 
orange, thickly dotted purplish brown. Extra selected 
bulbs, $4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100. A smaller, strong, 
flowering bulb, $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100. 
SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable lily varies from 
pale yellow to deep crimson, more or less spotted on the 
inner surface of the petals. Valuable as a late-flowering 
lily. Fine, established specimens often reach a height of 
10 feet and more, bearing from 20 to 30 elegantly re- 
flexed flowers, arranged in large cone-like clusters. Does 
well in ordinary garden soil if given good drainage, 
partial shade and a ground cover; prefers a damp situa- 
tion. Plant in large clumps or masses. Base-roots; fall 
planting only, 4 inches deep; July-flowering. Selected 
bulbs, $4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100. A smaller, good, 
flowering bulb, $2.75 for 10; $25.00 per 100. 
AUGUST-FLOWERING LILIES 
AURATUM MACRANTHUM (Platyphyllum). This is 
the robust growing form; the stem is stout and attains a 
considerable height, the leaves are broad; the flowers are 
enormous, white, richly spotted yellow. Undoubtedly the 
choicest of all, and in our opinion, superior to the type. 
Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $1.00 each; $8.00 for 10; 
$77.50 per 100. Selected bulbs, $6.00 for 10; $57.50 
per 100. Every year we have a few enormous bulbs 
which we offer at £10.00 for 10; $97.50 per 100. 
AURATUM. (Wild Collected Bulbs.) While in so many 
gardens this fine lily does exceedingly well, even with a 
degree of permanency, in some gardens it seems capri- 
cious the first season and disappears thereafter complete- 
ly. To those of you who have had this experience we 
would suggest that you try the “Wild Collected” bulbs 
and plant them in deep, spent soil. These bulbs succeed 
remarkably well and produce good heads of flowers on 
strong spikes the first season after planting. We suggest 
the planting of these in closely set beds, the beds some- 
what raised. They may also be planted in closely set 
individual clumps. $4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100. Reser- 
vation for these should be made early. 
BATEMANNIAE. Clear, glowing apricot flowers, from 3 
to 4 inches in diameter, on stems about 3 feet high, bear- 
ing from 4 to 6 flowers in a terminal umbel or cluster; 
free of spots; is at its best early in August. $4.75 for 10; 
$45.00 per 100. 
HENRYI. A splendid garden plant, vigorous in its 
growth, failing very seldom. One of the best border 
lilies, reaching over 8 feet and more in height when es- 
tablished, and bearing more than twenty flowers of a 
rich, deep orange-yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in 
both light and heavy loam, but prefers soil with a mix- 
ture of peat. Plant very deep, 10 inches. A partially 
shaded place, sheltered from high winds, suits it best. 
Stem-roots; late fall or early spring planting. August- 
September flowering. Special stock, $1.25 each; $10.00 
for 10; $97.50 per 100. Extra selected bulbs, $8.00 for 
10; $77.50 per 100. Selected bulbs, $5.75 for 10; $55.00 
per 100.
