.THE TRUE LILIES 
The bulbs offered are blooming-size stock and should 
give a very good showing of flowers this coming spring 
and summer. It must be noted, though, that bulbs of the 
several species vary considerably in size, some naturally 
making quite large bulbs, other kinds always relatively 
small. Lily bulbs should be planted at once upon receipt. 
ELEGANS GEORGE JOERG—A rather dwarf Lily with 
large, upfacing flowers of light orange. An attractive kind, 
of fullest hardiness, easy to grow and to keep. Each 45c: 
3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.75. 
TENUIFOLIUM — Called Coral Lily, 
though the coloring of the many waxy, 
recurved blossoms is rather closer to ver- 
milion. Showy and desirable. Each 30c; 
3 for 70c. 
CANADENSE—One of the daintier, more 
graceful Lilies. The flowers are flaring, 
rather nodding bells that may be yellow, 
orange or red, always dotted with brown- 
purple within. Each 40c; 3 for $1.10. 
SUPERBUM — Tall, stately plants that 
carry pyramidal clusters of exceedingly 
showy, recurved blossoms in rich and 
beautiful combinations and overlays of BE 
yellow, orange, scarlet and maroon. Each 
45c; 3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.75. 
PARDALINUM—An exceedingly showy and rather easy 
species with recurved flowers in rich combinations and 
blendings of crimson and orange. One of the better hardy 
Lilies. Each 45c; 3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.75. 
KELLOGGI—The Clematis-scented flowers open pale pink, 
deepening to lilac. In the past we have maintained plant- 
ings of this exquisite Lily at Old Orchard for several years 
without particular care or difficulty, though it has not 
been considered one of the easier species. Each $1.00. 
REGALE — Splendid home garden 
Lily with great, flaring trumpet- 
flowers, glossily white and wax-like, 
but rose-suffused in reverse and 
with Jemon tinting deeply within. 
Perfumed. Each 45c; 3 for $1.10; 
12 for $3.75. Illustrated opposite. 
DOUBLE TIGER LILY—If you have 
place for vivid coloring, and often 
there is need for such, then use 
this Lily. Fine, large flowers, fully 
doubled, in an intense, but black- 
dotted, orange scarlet. The only 
good double Lily, and rightly used this one really is good. 
No other flower will so gaily brighten a too-green corner. 
Each 45c; 3 for $1.20; 10 for $3.75. 
LONGIFLORUM TAKESIMA—tTrue Easter Lily. Immense 
trumpets of purest, wax-like whiteness, sweetly perfumed. 
Of full and persistent garden hardiness at Philadelphia. 
We have open-ground plantings of it at Old Orchard that 
have stood for more than ten years, and that seem to get 
better and more beautiful each season. This Lily makes 
a good pot plant, too. Each 280c; 3 for $2.25. 
MAXIMOWICZI—Easy, desirable mid-summer Lily. Stur- 
dily upright spires of handsome, recurved blossoms in 
tones of orange, enriched with ruddy shadings and black 
dottings. Each 40c; 3 for $1.10. 
LILIES FROM SEED 
Lilies grow quite readily from seeds sown outside in 
late autumn, germination taking place following spring. 
Our General Catalog offers seeds separately of some 48 
distinct species or hybrid strains. Also we can supply 
seeds in a general mixture of many kinds at 1/16 oz. for 
35¢e; 1% oz. 60c; % oz. $1.00; 1 oz. $3.00; 44 Ib. $10.00. Order 
as SPECIAL LILY BLEND. 
OTHER SEEDS TO SOW NOW 
During the period from late September into December, 
or even later when soil conditions permit, you can sow 
to advantage in open ground seed beds or unheated frames 
seeds of those plants, some hundreds of kinds, that like 
cool soil conditions before germination. This includes all 
the species marked in the General Catalog or the Flower 
Sampler Offer with the cultural key letters “y,” “yt,” or 
“kt.” Germination will take place next spring, and the 
plants will get off to an early start.
