LILY FAMILY. Liliaceae 
In popular language, we have Crinum Lilies, Calla Lilies, Belladonna Lilies, Snake 
Lilies, etc. In fact any bulb is a lily. But this is incorrect. None of them even belong 
in this family. They are about as closely related to true Lilies as horses are to pe 
birds. The Lily Family includes the true Lilies and their close relatives. 
Lilium. This genus include all the true Lilies. In growth habits, there are two 
types. Bulb rooting and stem rooting lilies. The latter make roots from the stems above 
the bulbs. These may be planted in late winter, to very early in the spring. Bulb root- 
ing Lilies should only be planted in the fall. Please order before March 1. 
Culture. Plant 4” to 6” deep. A good rule is, three times the bulbs diameter. The 
best soil is sandy loam to which is added nearly 50% peat and leaf mould as Lilies need 
acid soils. It must be well drained. If soil is heavy, dig to depth of 8” to 12” and add 
sand and leaf mould when filling in with a handful of pure sand directly under bulb. 
Lilium regale. Very large, fragrant white flowers with cream throat and pink or 
orchid tints on reverse. The hardiest and best garden Lily, increasing in size year after 
year. Bulbs 4”-5”, 25c. 5 for $1.00. Small bulbs, 15c. 8 for $1.00. 
Gloriosa. Climbing Lily. The flowers resemble true lilies but surpass most of them 
in their gorgeous beauty and high coloring. They propagate by tubers instead of bulbs. 
The stem is branching and heavy and must be supported. 
Sandy, well drained soil, rich in humus, acid in reaction, is also a requirement. 
Given these two necessities and plenty of water they succeed easily. They do well in full 
sun or with a little shade. We prefer the former. It is better to plant before March 1 
in the south, although good results usually follow even April planting. They have been 
grown successfully in the north as they may be lifted in the fall. But as they require a 
long season it is advisable to start in pans of sandy loam and spagnum, and shifted when 
warm. They have survived the winter when planted deep in New Jersey.
