___ Aarne HARDY GARDEN 

The new Hardy Easter Lily. 
HARDY EASTER LILY 
Lilium Estate. The flowers of this sensational 
new lily are large, fragrant and pure white, 
just like the florists’ Easter Lilies but unlike 
them they are hardy and can be grown out- 
doors. Grows 24% to 3 feet tall; blooms in 
August. Plant them 6 to 8 inches deep. Be 
the first to have them in your garden. 
Each 75c; 3 for $2.00; Doz. $7.50. 
CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS 
(“Glorified Regal Lily”) 
Immense trumpets white on the inside, the 
outside varying from emerald green through 
tints of pink to brownish purple. Very fragrant; 
very hardy; grow 6 to 8 feet high; bloom in July 
and August. Abundant foliage, hence the name 
Centi-folium. 
Each 55c; 3 for $1.55; Doz. $5.50. 
HENRYI LILY 
One of the mest vigorous and easily grown of 
all lilies. They become well established in several 
years after which they may reach a height of 6 to 
8 feet and produce up to 20 blooms. Flowers are 
a rich orange, the reflexed petals spotted with 
brown and the stamens long and showy. Blooms 
in August. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $5.00. 
MYSTERY LILY 
(Halls’ Amaryllis) 
Lycoris var. purpurea. We first saw this un- 
usual “‘lily’”” blooming in September in an old 
garden which was overgrown with myrtle and 
other persistent low growing perennials. Slight- 
ly fragrant lavender-rose lily shaped blossoms 
are produced in clusters of from 3 to 5 at the 
top of thick naked stalks often 3 ft. tall. A 
clump of long narrow basal leaves appears in 
early summer. Like an amaryllis these die 
down in early August when the flower stalk 
grows rapidly. 
Each 60c; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00. 
Please Read Carefully 
Lily bulbs are shipped at the proper time 
for planting so may not be shipped with 
other plants and bulbs you may have 
ordered. 
Madonna lilies should be planted only in 
the fall, so your order for these will be 
shipped in August or early September. 
All the lilies we offer except the Ma- 
donna may be planted either in the spring 
or fall. If your order is received too late 
for spring shipment it will be held until fall. 
Planting directions are included with 
each order. 
Because they are easily grown and adaptable 
to so many locations in the garden, lilies are be- 
coming increasingly popular in small as well as 
large gardens. They are effective in clumps in the 
perennial border and against shrubs in a founda- 
tion planting. All the varieties we list are easily 
grown; all except Madonnas are stem-rooting, 
producing roots on an underground stem, so 
should be planted 6 in. or more below the surface 
of the soil. 
UMBELLATUM LILY 
L. grandiflorum. Stocky plants with clusters of 
brilliant orange red cup-shaped blossoms held 
upright near the top. Easily grown and adapt- 
able to planting in perennial borders. Bloom in 
June and July. 
Each 45c; 3 for $1.25; Doz. $4.50. 
PINK ORCHID LILY 
L. speciosum Melpomeme. Gorgeous, deep 
rosy red reflexed petals speckled with deeper 
rose blend with the long protruding chocolate 
brown stamens. You have seen the lighter pink 
ones used like orchids in florists’ corsages. This 
is the deepest pink variety. Grows 4 to 5 feet 
high and blooms in August producing dozens 
of blooms once the bulbs become established. 
Each $1.00; 3 for $2.75; Doz. $10.00. 

Pink Orchid Lilies are truly like orchids.
