BROWNII COLCHESTERI (China) The flowers are more funnel- 
shaped than the true L. Brownii, sometimes colored reddish- 
purple on the exterior and sometimes greenish, according to 
whether it is grown in sun or shade. The inside is pale yellow 
passing to creamy white. Very fragrant and a fine lily, it will 
grow well especially in association with low shrubs in a sunny 
position. As bulbs of the true form of L. Brownii are very 
scarce this season we are pleased to announce that we have ar- 
ranged for a group of American-grown mosaic-free bulbs of 
this splendid variety. Each $1.00 Dozen $10.00 
BROWNII X BROWNII COLCHESTERI A new hybrid offered here 
for the first time. An improved Brownii with some variation in 
foliage. Of magnificent constitution and a distinct improvement 
on both Brownii (true) and Brownii Odorum. All bulbs offered 
are of flowering size. Culture same as for Brownii. 
Stock limited. Each $1.50 and $2.00 
GIGANTEUM HIMALIACUM (India) The most noble of all lilies. 
It grows from 10 to 12 feet tall and bears a spike of long, white, 
sweetly fragrant trumpet flowers shaded purple on the exterior. 
A beautiful thing that once seen can never be forgotten. Not a 
difficult lily to grow but it does have special requirements—- 
partial shade, preferably an open glade in the woodlands, and 
protection from strong winds. Drainage is essential but there 
must be moisture too. When planting dig a hole 2 feet deep and 
2 feet wide and fill in with well-rotted manure and leaves, good 
loam and sand, and always leave the top of the bulb exposed 
or level with the surface of the ground. DON’T BURY IT. This 
species is perfectly hardy but should be mulched in colder parts 
of the country. 
The bulb is large and flowers but once. When it has flowered it 
should be lifted and discarded but the numerous offsets should 
be removed and replanted so that they can grow on to flower- 
ing size. We offer this species in large bulbs intended to bloom 
next season and in several sizes of smaller bulbs to follow in 
subsequent years. 
Small bulbs. Each $1.25 
Medium bulbs. Each $1.75 
Large flowering bulbs. Each $3.00 
Cycle of three. Solo 
GIGANTEUM YUNANENSE A Chinese variety that somewhat re- 
sembles the type but is distinguished by its richly colored leaves 
in spring. Inferior to the type it usually grows from 5 to 6 feet 
in height. Each $1.75 
MYSTIC A plant of unknown parentage that has created a great 
sensation when exhibited. The trumpet-shaped flowers are of a 
pale greenish tint passing to white. Seen at a distance they 
seem to be surrounded by a faint mist. Numerous bulbils form 
in the axis of the leaves and provide a ready means of propaga- 
tion. This variety is quite new to commerce and may be of 
doubtful hardiness, therefore if planted in the open in our 
northern states we recommend that it be thoroughly mulched. 
Height 3 to 4 feet and possibly more when established. Plant 5 
to 6 inches deep, preferably in partial shade. Stock limited. 
Each $1.50
