Don't Miss the All.Summer Glory of Lilies 
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 
Cheodore CH. Sta vemeyer 
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- 
bes the vigorous growing Lilium Henryi in habit as well 
cs 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 
$2.50 each

Wailtion 
Hfavemeyer Hybrids 
These beautiful Hybrids are raised from seed taken from 
Litium 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 yeltow, 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 









Siliun 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.

Ghee OV ee Lily 
(Lilium Pardalinum Giganteum) 
This brilliant Lily is of easiest culture, in fact, it’s ‘‘fool-proof.’’ 
It is vigorous, dependable, very hardy and multiplies readily. It 
does equally well in full sun or shade. They reach a height of 
five to six feet, depending on the fertility of the soil in which they 
grow. Stems are stout and require no staking, and are covered 
with luxurious foliage. A clump of six or a dozen when in bloom 
makes a brilliant picture in any garden. Each stem is topped with 
a dozen or more beautiful flowers in July. The petals are some- 
what recurving and a brilliant sunset-red, while the base of the 
bloom is yellow, beautifully marked with amber-brown dots. West- 
ern Sunset Lily planted together with the Regale Lily will make a 
splendid combination. 
We offer two sizes of bulbs. Both will flower profusely and in- 
crease in size and beauty from year to year. 
Heavy flowering No. 1 bulbs 
Each 25c, Doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00 
Lilium Shuksan 
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. 
Each $1.35, Doz. $13.50 
Ssiltion 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 external color- 
ing 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. 
Each 75c, Doz. $7.50
