L. SARGENTIAE. This white trumpet Lily with the iridescent exter- 
_ jor was discovered by E. H. Wilson in mountain valleys bordering 
Tibet and western China. Sublime in form, fragrance and shading, 
this Lily extends the blooming period of the mid-summer trumpets. 
another two weeks. With flowers longer and more formal than 
the Olympic Hybrids, of which it is a parent, its habit of bearing 
bulbils in the leaf axils is not only interesting but extremely valu- 
able for steady and rapid increase. Trumpet exterior varies from 
rosy purple to greenish shades. 
Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in full sun or partial shade in well-drained 
soil leaving undisturbed for several years after which the increase 
should be taken and re-set in freshly prepared soil. Plant the bulbils 
as soon as they begin to drop off the stems and they will grow into 
mature plants in two or three years. 
Late July flowering. Height 6 to 8 feet. 
Medium size bulbs: $1.50 each. 
Top size bulbs: $2.00 each. 
L. SPECIOSUM RUBRUM. Introduced by von Siebold from Japan 
in 1832, this exquisite carmine-rose, delicately scented Lily has 
glorified occidental gardens for more than a century. Perhaps the 
- best loved of all the Lilies it is equally beautiful in the garden, 
- bouquets and corsages. Its jewel-like color and lustre, its large, 
recurved and frilly blooms, the raised papillae, the dark green 
leaves, its reliable good nature, make late summer a time to 
anticipate. 
_ Plant 6 inches deep in well-drained soil where shade is provided 
during the heat of the day. Lift and divide every three or four years. 
Late August, early September. Height 3 to 4. feet.

Top size bulbs: $1.50 each; 6/$8.25 
L. SPECIOSUM ALBUM, An ice white form which blooms two weeks 
_ later than the type. As beautiful in its cool way as the other is 
warm, the white Speciosum against a background of green, in 
bowls cr worn on any color frock is sheer elegance. 
_ This form has been considered less robust than the type but the 
cause can be traced in most cases to unclean bulbs and delayed plant- 
ing. These are clean, vigorous bulbs delivered at the proper planting 
time. Same culture as L. speciosum rubrum. ; 
September flowering. Height 3 to 4 feet. 
Medium size bulbs: $1.50 each 
Top size bulbs: $2.00 each
