GLORIOUS LILIES 
In the Garden and Greenhouse 
We consider the loveliest of the rare lilies in the garden to start with 
Rubellum in early May. It has a pink trumpet with the sweetest and 
most pleasing perfume scent of any lily that grows. They attain a height 
of one foot. In the greenhouse they force in as little as 30 days at 55° Fahr. 
Next in line is Japonicum which blooms late in June with trumpet 
flowers about twice the size of Rubellum in deep pink to white. There 
are several forms of these. They take longer to force than Rubellum. 
Then the Queen of all lilies blooming throughout July and August 
is Awratum—the Gold Band, or Gold Rayed Lily of Japan. They have 
huge white flowers with a golden band lengthwise of each petal and 
dotted all the way from very fine specklings of yellow and brown to 
speckles of bright red and red-tipped varieties. The latter varieties are 
usually called Auwratum Pictum. We will have for sale the Gold Band 
form called the Type also some Auratum Pictum. We also have some 
imported bulbs grown in our gardens for a year of the marvelous early 
Auratum Praecox which flowers earlier by three weeks than the Aura- 
tum Type and forces in the greenhouse in 60 days at 50° Fahr. Also 
have the Late Flowering Auratum which is two to three weeks later 
than the Type. We expect to import more of these varieties but will 
also have bulbs to sell that have flowered well for us and will be larger 
by a year’s growth than imported bulbs. These varieties will give a 
flowering season in the garden of three to four months in one type 
flower 
We hope to import an Extremely Hardy Variety and a Mosiac Immune 
Type of Auratum this fall and either or both of them should be very 
valuable for American Gardens. 
All through July and August we also have Dauricum Wilsonit, one of 
the upright, bowl-shaped, clear orange varieties which has a long sue-
