Hardy Lilies for General Gaiden Use 
Lilies, unlike Tulip bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under one 
and the same conditions, but are gathered together from many foreign 
countries. All ripen at different times of the year; therefore, orders for 
Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The requirements of Lilies 
vary with each variety. We have a booklet on their culture, which will 
be sent to you upon receipt of 25c. 

Lilium Candidum 
Silium CGandidum 
The Madonna Lily is one of the loveliest of white Lilies, popular 
throughout the world, loved and admired by all. Its delightful 
fragrance and lovely white flowers have made it a universal symbol 
of purity. Plant it in groups of three or more bulbs, close to the 
pale blue Delphinium Belladonna. It will be the loveliest spot in 
your garden during late June and early July. Madonna Lilies are 
simple to grow if you will plant in full sun and perfectly drained 
soil. 
Many of the Mammoth bulbs are double nosed, giving two or 
more flower spikes.

Madonna Lilies will be very scarce because importation from 
France will not be possible. Therefore, order your supply at once 
and mix through the planting of Madonna Lilies a few of the 
magnificent Centifolium Lily, offered above.

Because of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of many 
planters, we do not guarantee Lilies to grow. We do, however, guar- 
antee to supply you bulbs in good condition and will replace without 
charge any damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing from you. 
Lilium Centifolium 
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 ex- 
ternal coloring of the flowers, some being shaded green and 
others brownish purple, but all are superbly beautiful and well 
worth growing. The name of this plant (Centifolium, ‘“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. Fine flowering size bulbs, October-December de- 
livery. Each $0.75, Doz. $7.50 
Lilium 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 Delphiniums 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.
