JULY-FLOWERING LILIES—Continued 
GEORGE C. CREELMAN. One of the outstanding intro- 
ductions of recent years. The true Creelman Lily. Beautiful 
— 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, depend- 
able and disease resistant. The long-lasting flowers, which are 
very large, often measuring 8 inches in length, carried in large 
numbers 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 perfect flowers and buds on a 
6-foot spike. Very strong and vigorous 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 subject. 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. 
REGALE. (The Regal or Royal Lily.) One of the most beau- 
tiful, 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 vigorous grower with sturdy 
stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with long, linear-lance- 
olate 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 trans- 
lucent 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 illustration, page 47. 
SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable Lily varies from pale 
yellow to deep crimson, more or less spotted on the inner sur- 
face 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 constitution. Ordi- 
narily 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. 
AUGUST-FLOWERING LILIES 
HENRYI. A splendid garden plant, vigorous in its growth, fail- 
ing very seldom. One of the best border Lilies, reaching 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- 
September flowering. Extra selected bulbs, $8.00 for 10; $75.00 
per 100. Selected bulbs, $7.00 for 10; $65.00 per 100. 
SPECIOSUM. Originally a native of Korea, it is deservedly 
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 conspicu- 
ous for their size, color and extremely delicate poise. In addi- 
tion to all these attractive qualities it has a strongly waved out- 
line 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 beau- 
tiful 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.

SPECIOSUM MAGNIFICUM. Rich ruby-carmine, margined 
white; stout of substance and broad of petal. Improved “Ru- 
brum.” 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. Avail- 
able for planting in late November or early spring. Special 
stock, $11.00 for 10; $49.00 for case of 50; $94.00 for case of 
100. Every year we have a few enormous bulbs, which we 
offer at $12.00 for 10; $110.00 per 100. See illustration, 
page 47. 
SPECIOSUM, MELPOMENE. The delicate beauty of the lighter 
colored flowers makes this variety most desirable. Deep car- 
mine-crimson, intensified by a narrow margin of white. Stem- 
roots; August-September flowering. Special stock, $11.00 for 
10; $49.00 for case of 50; $95.00 for case of 100. Every year 
we have a few enormous bulbs, which we offer at $13.00 for 10; 
$117.50 per 100. 
TIGRINUM SPLENDENS., The finest form of Tiger Lily 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; August-September flow- 
ering. Extra selected bulbs, $5.50 for 10; $50.00 per 100. 
A smaller, good, flowering bulb, $4.50 for 10; $40.00 per 100. 
TIGRINUM FLORE-PLENO. The double form. The best ex- 
ample of a double Lily we have. Extra selected bulbs, $4.00 
for 10; $37.50 per 100.
