Hardy LILIES 
Before the present war many varieties of Hardy Lily bulbs commonly used in this country 
were imported from Japan. Among these were the ever popular Gold Banded Lily, Philip- 
pine Lily and Speciosum Rubrum. As of course no new supplies will be received for this 
spring’s trade, it would have been necessary, in order to supply customers with these 
varieties, to have placed in storage bulbs from last year’s crop, a practice we would not 
care to follow, as old storage stock is of inferior quality, and as a rule does not bloom 
satisfactorily. This will explain why some of the varieties we have previously offered are 
missing from our list this spring. 
However, we have endeavored to make a most careful selection of the choicest, and 
some of the newest varieties of Hardy Lilies available today—all domestic grown stock, 
fully naturalized to this climate—bulbs which are certain to furnish a profusion of large, 
perfectly formed flowers this summer. These are being supplied through special arrange- 
ment with one of the country’s foremost and most experienced bulb growers. We know re- 
sults secured will satisfy the demands of the most exacting gardener, and this stock is being 
offered with our endorsement of its quality and merit. 
AMERICAN TURKSCAP 
LILY (Superbum). The color of this va- 
tiety varies from pale yellow to 
deep crimson, with a more or less spotted

from 20 to 30 elegant flowers, arranged in 
large, conelike clusters. Grows well in 
common garden soil. Blooms in July.

riety. Large, shapely flowers of rich, dark 
salmon:orange spotted with glossy black. 
Very robust, and of easy culture. Blooms 
August-September. Strong bulbs, 30c each;

ELEGANS George Joerg. Of the many 
forms and varieties of Ele- 
gans, George Joerg in our opinion is the 
best. Flowers are a beautiful, yellow- 
orange, making a delightfully attractive 
appearance. A strong, robust grower. 
Very decorative in pots or borders. A 
really worth-while kind. Strong bulbs, 25c 
each; 3 for 60c. 
HENRYI The Golden Speciosum. One 
of the best garden lilies, vigor- 
ous in growth. When established attains 


















Regal Lily 
over 8 feet in height, bearing more than 
20 flowers of a rich, deep orange-yellow. 
Foliage is excellent. Does well in either 
light or heavy loam. Flowers in August

LEOPARD LILY (?ardalinum). One 
of the rarest of 
Lilies! Large flowers of orange-red, with 
yellow center, spotted with purple. Blooms 
June and July. A real beauty. Strong 
bulbs, 35c each; 3 for 90c.

spikes of white flowers,

side petals, and a flushed yellow center 
shading to pure white at outside edge. 
Blooms June and July. Strong bulbs, 15c

SUNSET LILY prac tae Gigante- 
. A new variety 
of proven merit, and one of the choicest. A 
vigorous grower; dependable, and of easi- 
est culture. Sometimes attains a height of 
7 feet, with stalks bearing a dozen or more 
beautiful flowers of truly gorgeous appear- 
ance. Petals are a brilliant sunset red, 
base of flower yellow, heavily spotted 
with small brown dots. Sunset Lily is one 
of the most satisfactory kinds ever grown. 
Strong bulbs, 30c each; 3 for 75c. 
SACRED LILY OF THE AZTECS 
Improved Tigridia. Held sacred by the 
ancient Sun Worshipers, because its 
flowers always face the sun. Blooms open 
in the morning, facing the east; at noon- 
time they unfold upright, then turning 
toward the setting sun, die at eventide. 
While each flower lives but a single day, 
each morning finds a wealth of new buds 
opening, the plants blooming continuously 
from July till frosts. Flowers vary in 
shade from bright yellow to deepest scar- 
let. The peculiarly marked cup-shaped 
centers, and vividly colored outer petals 
make them highly appealing and desir- 
able. Different from any other flower. 
Bulbs require same planting care and 
treatment as Gladioli. Large bulbs, 15c 
each; 3 for 40c; 12 for $1.10.
