GIGANTEUM HIMALAICUM. Pure white, tinged purple inside. 
GIGANTEUM HIMALAICUM—A giant among lilies. Under ordinarily favor- 
able conditions, the spikes have grown 10 to 12 ft. The foliage is broad and 
dense in keeping with the height of the plant. The many flowers are tubular 
shaped, pure white tinged with purple inside and it loves the rich humus soil 
of a woodland where it will have plenty of shade away from the direct rays 
of the sun. A northern exposure protected from strong winds, or the shade 
of trees will suit it. It does not do well in the open border. After flowering 
this lily perpetuates itself by producing offsets, which should be lifted and 
replanted. Plant shallow, barely covering the top of the bulb with soil. June 
blooming. Each

It is extremely difficult to be sure of the exact year of the blooming of these 
bulbs, so I recommend the purchase of one or more bulbs of each size to pro- 
vide an annual display. Cycles of three bulbs (one of each size) are offered 
at $7.00.
