UMBELLATUM LILIES—Continued 
UMBELLATUM SPLENDIDUM. A magnificent variety 
growing 2 to 244 feet high, with large umbellate heads 
of brilliant vermilion-orange flowers shading to a rich 
coppery crimson tone. As a border plant the color effect 
is most striking and unusual. The flowers are unspotted 
or nearly so, and the points of the petals are slightly 
reflexed. Extra selected bulbs, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 per 
100. 
WASHINGTONIANUM. A beautiful Lily with fragrant, 
drooping white flowers on a stem 4 to 5 feet in height. 
The reverse of the flowers has a tinge ranging from light 
pink to a deep wine color. This Lily requires a thor- 
oughly drained situation; it does exceedingly well when 
once established. Stem-rooting; June-July flowering; 
plant in fall only, 10 inches deep. Extra selected bulbs, 
$1.50 each; $12.50 for 10; $110.00 per 100. 
JULY -FLOWERING LILIES 
CENTIFOLIUM. Found in a cabbage garden by the late 
Mr. Reginald Farrer, in his first expedition to China. In 
general appearance it resembles a huge Lilium Sulphur- 
eum or Browni, with long, tubular, white flowers, colored 
and streaked externally with brown and flushed internally 
with yellow at the base of the trumpet. This is a giant 
among Lilies, and has proved quite hardy. Fall planting 
only, 8 inches deep; July-flowering. Extra selected bulbs, 
$1.00 each; $9.00 for 10. 
GEORGE C. CREELMAN. One of the outstanding intro- 
ductions of recent years. The true Creelman Lily. Beau- 
tiful— permanent— prolific—hardy—dependable—easy 
to grow. Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society, 
1934. This Lily is not to be confused with “seedlings” 
of the Lily, sometimes offered as Lilium Creelman. 
“Creelman” is beautiful in form and color, and artistic, 
while sturdy, virile, permanent, dependable and disease 
resistant. The long-lasting flowers, which are very large, 
often measuring 8 inches in length, carried in large num- 
bers on strong, long stems, with fine foliage, resemble a 
Regal Lily of the best and truest type, with the bronzy 
tones more pronounced and a more intense yellow in the 
throat. It blooms 2 weeks after the Regal Lily, many 
flowers opening at one time. We have counted 35 pérfect 
flowers and buds on a 6-foot spike. Very strong and vig- 
orous grower, the entire plant has an appearance of well- 
being. We have found this Lily to be entirely free from 
ordinary diseases to which so many other Lilies are sub- 
ject. Easiest of culture and one of the hardiest. Stem- 
rooting. Plant 10 inches deep. Extra-heavy, specimen 
bulbs, limited stock, each $2.50; $22.50 for 10. Selected 
strong-flowering bulbs, each $1.75; $15.00 for 10. 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM MAGNIFICUM. Also 
known as “The Sunset Lily.” A variety recently re-intro- 
duced, which we can recommend very highly. The very 
strong spikes reach a height from 6 to 8 feet with very 
large flowers, the outer petals being a scarlet-orange, the 
inner half, bright orange, thickly dotted purplish brown. 
Extra selected bulbs, $6.50 for 10; $60.00 per 100. See 
illustration, page 53.

REGALE. (The Regal or Royal 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 vig- 
orous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely 
covered with long, linear-lanceolate foliage. Center of 
flower flushed with yellow, shading to white at the 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 
rich wine color of the reverse of the petals and the gold 
shading of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. Extra 
heavy, selected bulbs, $10.00 for 10; $97.50 for 100. 
Heavy bulbs, $8.00 for 10; $77.50 per 100. Strong, good, 
flowering bulbs, $7.00 for 10; $65.00 per 100. See illus- 
tration, page 53. 
SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable Lily varies from 
pale yellow to deep crimson, more or less spotted on the 
inner surface of the petals. Valuable as a late-flowering 
Lily. Fine, established specimens often reach a height of 
10 feet and more, bearing from 20 to 30 elegantly reflexed 
flowers, arranged in large conelike clusters. Does well in 
ordinary garden soil if given good drainage, partial shade 
and a ground cover; prefers a damp situation. Plant in 
large clumps or masses. Base-roots; fall planting only, 
4 inches deep; July-flowering. Selected bulbs, $5.50 for 
10; $52.50 per 100. A smaller, good, flowering bulb, 
$4.75 for 10; $45.00 per 100. 
WILLMOTTIAE. This beautiful Lily was introduced from 
China and has proved to be of strong and vigorous con- 
stitution. Ordinarily it grows to a height of 4 feet and 
bears as high as 20 flowers on a stem. It has been known 
to reach a height of 6 to 7 feet, carrying as many as 40 or 
more flowers on a stem when established. The flowers 
are 3 inches across, of a vivid orange-red; the recurved 
petals are covered with numerous small brown spots. 
The slender foliage is a deep rich green and the whole 
plant is of a distinct and graceful habit. It is so florif- 
erous as to need staking if planted in a windy location. 
Stem-rooting; plant in fall or early spring, 8 inches deep; 
July-flowering. Extra strong bulbs, $7.00 for 10; $67.50 
per 100. Smaller, good flowering bulbs, $4.75 for 10; 
$45.00 per 100.
