MAXWILL 
Manwill 
MAXWILL-540-One of the most striking 
Lilies of recent introduction and withal 
one of the most satisfactory doers in the 
garden. The color is brilliant orange-red 
with black spots and brick-red stamens. 
Maxwill is a hybride of L. Davidi Willmot- 
tiae and L. Leichtlini var. Maxomowiczi 
with the most desirable qualities of both. 
Its very large blooms are held aloft on stiff 
stems 5 to 6 feet tall with as many as 
thirty to forty on a stalk. The beginner 
will find this an ideal variety to stimulate 
his interest and to the collector it is a 
“must’’. Plant it against a background of 
that lovely perennial, Thalictrum Diptero- 
carpum. July blooming. Easily established. 
PD 5 in. Selected bulbs, each 85c. Choice 
flowering bulbs, each 60c.

“Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics 
of Nature, by which she indicates how much 
she loves us.’—Goethe 
among these hybrids but in general they produce huge funnel or trumpet shaped blooms, held 
horizontally with exteriors varied from pure white to deep purple. The insides are mostly white 
with a golden throat and deliciously fragrant. They bloom from early to late July. Ht 4 to 6 ft. 
PD 6 in. Selected bulbs, each $2.25. 
PHILADELPHICUM-6] 2-One of the few up- 
right flowering cup-shaped native Lilies and 
likewise one of the most brilliant. The vivid 
orange-scarlet blooms with large dark ma- 
roon spots are held on stems 11/2 to 3 feet 
tall. A woodland Lily not suited to border 
planting. Enjoys partial shade, very sharp 
drainage and protection from heavy winter 
rains. June-July. PD 3 in. Produces a small 
bulb. Flowering size bulbs, each 40c. 
PHILADELPHICUM MONTANUM-613-A 
relatively rare form of this Lily, native to the 
Rocky Mountains, formerly listed as L. Mon- 
tanum, Varies from deep crimson through 
Orange to an occasional one of clear citron- 
yellow, all spotted with deep purple. Ht 2-3 
ft. PD 4 in. Early summer. Each 65c. 

Spring Planting 
We can not consistently recommend spring 
planting of Lilies. There are a few such 
as Regal, Centifolium Hybrids, Henryi and 
others that do not seem to resent it but 
the great majority should be planted as 
soon as possible after their digging at ma- 
turity in the fall. 
However, sometimes it is impossible for 
various reasons to plant in the fall and 
for these customers we will pack their 
orders all ready to ship and hold them 
in cold storage until spring. These orders, 
however, must be received in the fall or 
the bulbs will not be available as we do 
not carry over but a very few varieties. 
There is no charge for cold storage but 
PLEASE send orders EARLY. 

OCCIDENTAL-580-A rare native Lily from 
the west coast which accommodates itself 
nicely to garden conditions. Its small bell- 
shaped blooms are orange-red with throat 
spotted maroon. As the petals age they be- 
come recurved. Like most native Lilies, par- 
tial shade is most to its liking. Prefers a 
lime free soil with plenty of leafmold or peat 
moss. July. Ht 2 to 4 feet. PD 4 inches. 
Flowering bulbs, each $2.00.

PARRYI-600-Of all the lovely Lilies found 
native in this country of ours, none are more
