AUGUST - FLOWERING LILIES 
HENRYI. A splendid garden plant, vigorous in its growth, 
failing very seldom. One of the best border Lilies, reach- 
ing over 8 feet and more in height when established, and 
bearing more than 20 flowers of a rich, deep, orange- 
yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in both light and heavy 
loam, but prefers soil with a mixture of peat. Plant very 
deep, 10 inches. A partially shaded place, sheltered from 
high winds, suits it best. It is a beautiful Lily. Stem- 
roots; late fall or early spring planting. August-Septem- 
ber flowering. Extra selected bulbs, $9.00 for 10; $87.50 
per 100. Selected bulbs, $7.00 for 10; $65.00 per 100. 
SPECIOSUM. Originally a native of Korea, it is deserv- 
edly one of the greatest favorites as a border plant, of 
daring as well as beautiful form. The petals are well 
rolled back and are handsomely spotted, often branded 
with distinct color. The style is thrown out in a curved 
line of much grace and strength. The stamens boldly 
diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous for their 
size, color and extremely delicate poise. In addition to all 
these attractive qualities it has a strongly waved outline 
to the petals, which adds much to its beauty. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM NOVUM. This form is distinct 
from the “Kraetzeri.” Flowers are large, of the purest 
white, with beautiful golden yellow anthers. Stem-roots. 
August-September flowering. Available for planting in 
late November or early spring. Extra selected bulbs, 
$10.00 for 10; $47.50 for case of 50; $94.00 per 100. 
Every year we have a few enormous bulbs, which we 
offer at $12.00 for 10; $110.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 52. 
SPECIOSUM MAGNIFICUM. Rich ruby-carmine, mar- 
gined white; stout of substance and broad of petal. Im- 
proved “Rubrum.” This variety stands out prominently 
on account of its vigorous growth as well as the size and 
depth of coloring of the blooms. Stem-roots; August- 
September flowering. Available for planting in late No- 
vember or early spring. Special stock, $11.00 for 10; 
$49.00 for case of 50; $94.00 for case of 100. Every

SPECIOSUM MELPOMENE. The delicate beauty of the 
lighter colored flowers makes this variety most desirable.

white. Stem-roots; August-September flowering. Special 
stock, $11.00 for 10; $49.00 for case of 50; $95.00 for

with the richest color. The large shapely flowers are of a 
rich, dark, salmon-orange spotted with glossy black. This 
Lily is very robust in habit and of easy culture. Stem- 
roots; late fall or early spring planting, 10 inches deep;

A REPETITION—FOR FINEST RESULTS IN YOUR GARDEN USE: 
Schzzpers ’ Bulb ‘food 
We have been asked by many friends to tell them what sort of plant food we use 
in growing our choice bulbs. We told them we had a special formula that gave health 
and long life to these plants. A few prevailed upon us to make up a quantity and 
let them try it in their own gardens. 
The extraordinary success that these gardeners met with and the enthusiasm result- 
ing from it, have encouraged us to offer all our friends and patrons a chance to use the 
very same plant food in their attempt at getting healthy, luxuriant flowers with strong 
stem and exquisite colorings. 
And so we present this opportunity for you to order some SCHEEPERS’ BULB 
FOOD and we recommend that you try it with your next planting. It is almost entirely 
composed of organic matter and may be used with absolute safety in connection with 
the planting of bulbs at the time, in any soil or with any other plants. It is also 
economical—as a teaspoonful for each bulb is the average requirement. 
Take advantage of this offer. You will find it a very happy investment. 
5-lb. cans (good for approximately 375 bulbs) each $1.85 
25-lb. bags (good for approximately 1250 bulbs) each $3.50 
100-Ib. bags (good for approximately 5000 bulbs) each $9.50
