Don't Nis the AlSummex Glory of Silies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, the romance of the far corners of the earth in which many 
of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild crannies of America to delight you with their 
different grace and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors that offer you the pleasure of “pointing with pride.’ Growing some 
of the stronger varieties gives you enjoyment and satisfaction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Lilies are beginning to take their rightful place in American gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty but because of 
their challenge to the gardener’s originality and skill. As a group they are not the easiest flowers to grow; but in the past 20 years 
or so it has been demonstrated that they are not particularly difficult either—just enough so to stimulate gardening interest. And 
they pay you well in distinctive results, a steady parade of changing bloom from early June to late September. 

Introducing a Superb Novelty! 
Lilium 
Sheodore D. Htavemeyer 
A magnificent new Lily which resulted from a cross 
between Lilium Sulphureum and Lilium Tigrinum. The 
plant resembles Lilium Henryi in growth and vigor as well 
as freedom from disease. It has received highest honors 
wherever exhibited. The Royal Horticultural Society of Eng- 
land gave it the coveted ‘’Award of Merit.’’ A special gold 
medal was awarded to a display of this variety in the 
Gardens on Parade at the New York World’s Fair. The 
flowers are a tender shade of buff or creamy old ivory with 
three or four buff longitudinal lines, and marked with rosy 
amber on the basal half of the segment. This lovely shading 
is enhanced by attractive brown anthers. The plant resem- 
bles the vigorous growing Lilium Henryi in habit as well 
as ease of culture. The flowers are Auratum shaped, of fine 
size, broad and spreading. Begins to bloom the end of July, 
and blooms over a very long period. 
Only a limited number of bulbs are available yet! We 
offer strong flowering bulbs at 
$4.00 each $40.00 dozen 
Lilium 
Fta vemeyor Hybrids 
These beautiful Hybrids are raised from seed taken from 
Lilium Theodore Havemeyer. They closely resemble the 
parent variety but vary slightly in color and form, and can- 
not be sold as the true Havemeyer Lily. We therefore offer 
them as Havemeyer Hybrids. A group of six or more of 
them in the border will provide many lovely flowers in deli- 
cate tints of ivory, pale yellow, and light buff. They grow 
freely and can be easily increased by seeding. This is the 
first time these magnificent Lilies are offered, and we pre- 
dict they will be as important as the Regal Lilies in the very 
near future. We offer for this spring a limited number of 
flowering bulbs about 5 inches in circumference at 
75c each $7.50 dozen 

Lilium Regale 
The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and one of the hardiest Lilies in 
cultivation—"Lilium Regale”’ is truly a Royal Lily, worthy of a 
place in every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigor- 
ous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered 
with fine foliage. Center of flower flushed with yellow shading to 
white at outer edges; externally the flowers are streaked with 
brown on the “‘ribs,’’ shaded through the almost translucent petals 
with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the color of the 
reverse of the petals and the gold shading of the throat is ex- 
traordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when 
thoroughly established, bears as high as 18 to 20 flowers during 
the season. (Color illustration, page 118.)

Silium Cestaceum 
Also known as ‘’Excelsum’’ and as the ‘’Nankeen Lily.’’ One of 
the choicest garden Lilies. The warm apricot tone, almost a cafe 
au lait, set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it in a color class 
by itself; in fact, many people consider it the most graceful and 
lovely of all Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden use but 
because of its tender coloring, must be planted in a mixed border 
with brighter flowers. In combination with light shaded Delphini- 
ums or with the Madonna Lily, which it resembles, it is most 
effective. It has the texture of Lilium Candidum, with reflexed 
petals and does well under the same conditions as Candidum. 
Four to five feet high, June-July flowering. (Color illustration, 
page 118.)

Lilium Shuksan 
A new Hybrid Lily with a great future. Also a fine bill of health. 
Through careful cultivation a very high state of health has been 
maintained and we have never seen any bulbs infected with 
mosaic; that fatal disease some Lilies are subject to. Shuksan is 
a very vigorous grower, 5 to 6 feet tall and produces its flowers 
in open heads, 15 to 25 flowers on one plant is not unusual. The 
color is a soft buff-yellow broken by large quite widely spaced 
soft brown spots. At opening, the flowers are star-like. The petals 
reflex and roll back when in full bloom. Flowers last a week when 
cut. (Color illustration, page 117.)

Lilium Centifolium 
(Syn. L. Leucantheum var. Chloraster) (China). A magnificent 
species introduced by Reginald Farrer from stock found growing 
in a Chinese garden in 1914. The flowers are immense white 
trumpets borne on stems rising from 6 to 8 feet in height. Seed 
grown stocks vary somewhat in the external coloring of the 
flowers, some being shaded green and others brownish purple, but 
all are well worth growing. The name of this plant (Centi-folium, 
“hundred-leaved’’) is suggestive of its abundant foliage. We are 
pleased to offer home-grown stock of Lilium Centifolium and 
believe it to be an exceptional addition to any Lily collection. 
Plant 6 inches deep in light shade with perfect drainage. July- 
August blooming. Flowering size bulbs, October-December delivery. 
Each 65c, Doz. $6.50, 100 $45.00
