Htardy Lilies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, the romance of the far corners of 
the earth in which many of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild 
crannies of America to delight you with their different grace and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors 
that offer you the pleasure of “pointing with pride.’ Growing some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoy- 
ment and satisfaction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Lilium Speciosum Magnificum 

Lilium Speciosum Album 
Lilies are beginning to take their rightful place in American gardens, 
large and small, not only for their beauty but because of their challenge 
to the gardener’s originality and skill. As a group they are not the 
easiest flowers to grow; but in the past 20 years or so it has been demon- 
strated that they are not particularly difficult either—just enough so to 
stimulate gardening interest. And they pay you well in distinctive re- 
sults, a steady parade of changing bloom from early June to late Sep- 
tember. 
Lilies, unlike Narcissus bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under 
one and the same conditions, but are gathered together from many for- 
eign countries. All ripen at different times of the year; therefore, orders 
for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The requirements of Lilies 
vary with each variety. We have a booklet on their culture, which will 
be sent to you upon receipt of 25 cents. Because of the lack of knowl- 
edge and the carelessness of many planters, we do not guarantee Lilies 
to grow. We do, however, guarantee to supply you bulbs in good con- 
dition and will replace without charge any damaged bulbs, immediately 
upon hearing from you.

Speciosum JERI 
The petals are well rolled back and are handsomely spotted, often branded 
with distinct color. The anthers are conspicuous for their size and color, and 
extremely delicate poise. In addition to these attractive qualities, it has a 
strongly waved outline to the petals, which adds much to its beauty. It flowers 
through the late summer into autumn. The cultivation of this Lily is simple, 
sending up its flowering stems year after year in increasing numbers. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM 
Beautiful, snow-white with a golden 
green stripe through the center of 
each petal, and anthers of a coppery 
tint. Alike in the form of the flower 
and in the way of growing, this Lily 
is one of the most beautiful we have.
