Lilium Auratum (See page 30) 

Lilium Sestaceum 
Also known as ‘’Excelsum’’ and as the 
“Nankeen Lily.” One of the choicest gar- 
den Lilies. The warm apricot tone, almost a 
cafe au lait, set off by brilliant orange an- 
thers, puts it in a color class by itself; in 
fact, many peopie consider it the most grace- 
ful 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 Can- 
didum, with reflexed petals, and does well 
under the same conditions as Candidum. 
Four to five feet high, June-July flowering.

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 vigorous 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 extraordinarily 
beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when thoroughly established, 
bears as high as 18 to 20 flowers.
