ELEGANS LILY 
Please Read Carefully 
Lily bulbs are shipped at the proper time 
for planting so may not be shipped with 
other plants and bulbs you may have 
ordered. 
Madonna lilies should be planted only in 
the fall, so your order for these will be 
shipped in August or early September. 
All the lilies we offer except the Ma- 
donna may be planted either in the spring 
or fall. If your order is received too late 
for spring shipment it will be held until fall. 
Planting directions are included with 
each order. 
Because they are easily grown and adaptable 
to so many locations in the garden, lilies are be- 
coming increasingly popular in small as well as 
large gardens. They are effective in clumps in the 
perennial border and against shrubs in a founda- 
tion planting. All the varieties we list are easily 
grown; all except Madonnas are stem-rooting, 
producing roots on an underground stem, so 
should be planted 6 in. or more below the surface 
of the soil. 
Variety George Joerg. One of the showiest and easiest to grow. Umbels 
of 6 to 8 large cup-shaped blossoms of bright orange slightly reflexed 
petals are borne on plants about 18 in. tall. The blossoms are held up- 
right and glisten in the sun. Plant in groups in any good garden soil ina

sunny location. 
SIBERIAN MARTAGON LILY 
L. tenuifolium (pumilum). These dainty lilies may 
produce as many as 20 small waxy scarlet pendulous 
blooms which are made doubly attractive by the long 
showy stamens. Under ordinary conditions they grow 
about 18 in. tall but in good soil and plenty of sun 
they may, after becoming established, grow to 2% or 
3 ft. Very narrow leaves encircle the center of the 
stem. Each 35c; 3 for 95c; Doz. $3.50. 
MYSTERY LILY 
Hall’s Amaryllis 
Lycoris var. purpurea. We first saw this unusual 
“lily” blooming in August in an old garden which 
was overgrown with myrtle and other persistent low 
growing perennials. Slightly fragrant lavender-rose 
lily shaped blossoms are produced in clusters of from 
3 to 5 at the top of thick naked stalks often 3 ft. 
tall. A clump of long narrow basal leaves appears in 
early summer. Like an amaryllis these die down in 
early August when the flower stalk grows rapidly. 
Each 60c; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00.

REGAL LILY

L. regelianum. Since its introduction from China years ago, Regal Lilies 
have deservedly become one of the most popular. Large white trumpet 
with the outside of the petals flushed a deep rosy lavender. One of the 
easiest to grow increasing in size and beauty through the years. Blooms 
in July. Height 4 to 6 ft. 
Each 45c; 3 for $1.25; Doz. $4.50. 
TIGER LILIES 
L. tigrinum Single. No well established garden 
is complete without this lovely old reliable lily. 
The 4 to 6 ft. stems may produce as many as 
25 nodding bright orange-red blooms with the 
reflexed petals dotted with chocolate brown 
spots. Blooms in August. Plant 8 to 10 in. deep. 
Each 40c; 3 for $1.10; Doz. $4.00. 
L. tigrinum Double. A double form of the 
popular Tiger Lily. 
Each 45c; 3 for $1.25; Doz. $4.50. 
MADONNA LILY 
Shipped only in the fall 
L. candidum. The most popular lily grown; 
known also as St. Josephs and Resurrection 
Lily. Blooms in late June with Delphiniums and 
other tall perennials with which it combines 
beautifully. The medium size, pure white wide 
open trumpets with showy yellow stamens are 
produced in many flowered panicles over a long 
period. Each 50c; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $5.00.

GIANT CAMELLIA-FLOWERED TYPE. No one who has successfully grown these showy flowers is ever without a planting of them. The fact that they 
do best in a partially shaded place recommends their use especially to city gardeners who have the problem of shade. Give them fairly rich soil a 
reasonable amount of moisture and decent air circulation and you will be rewarded with glorious color until frost. If buds of the two small female 
blossoms are removed as soon as they appear on either side of the large male blossom, the size and beauty of the center flower will be greatly im- 
proved. Ideal for shady window boxes. Since they are not hardy, they should not be planted outdoors until all danger of frost is past. 
If the plants are brought into a cool cellar in the fall and dried off gradual 
salmon, yellow, orange, red and mixed. 
ly, the bulbs can be planted out the following spring. Colors: white, pink, 
PRICE: 3 for $1.10; 12 for $3.50; 100 for $26.00 (25 at 100 rate). Postpaid.
