REGALE (The Regal or Royal Lily.) Cne of the most 
beautiful, and one of the hardiest Lilies in cultivation, 
Lilium Regale is truly a royal Lily, worthy of a place in 
every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vig- 
orous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely 
covered with long, linear-lanceolate foliage. Center of 
flower flushed with yellow, shading to white at the outer 
edges; externally the flowers are streaked with brown on 
the “ribs,” shaded through the almost translucent petals 
with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the 
rich wine color of the reverse of the petals and the gold 
shading of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. 
The Regal Lily is very floriferous and, when thoroughly 
established, bears as high as eighteen and twenty flowers 
during the season. Like most other Lilies, it should be 
planted deep—at least 9 inches, should have good drain- 
age, and when growing should be watered copiously with 
liquid manure as they are gross feeders. They succeed in 
any good rich garden soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps of five to 
twenty-five bulbs, they are especially attractive among the 
delphiniums and other July-flowering perennials. Where 
these magnificent Lilies are planted in quantity, the air 
in the cool of the morning and in the evening is laden 
with a delightful perfume, exhaled from every blossom. 
Where possible, we suggest planting in the fall. In the 
past, Regal Lilies have been scarce; we now produce 
excellent stock ourselves, carefully rogued as to trueness 
of type. To make these fine Lilies available for all gar- 
dens, we offer them in four sizes, the smallest of which 
will flower the first season.

WILLMOTTIAE. This beautiful Lily was introduced 
from China and has proved to be of strong and vigorous 
constitution. Ordinarily it grows to a height of 4 feet and 
bears as high as 20 flowers on a stem. It has been known 
to reach a height of 6 to 7 feet, carrying as many as 40 
or more flowers on a stem when established. The flowers 
are 3 inches across, of a vivid orange-red; the recurved 
petals are covered with numerous small brown spots. 
The slender foliage is a deep rich green and the whole 
plant is of a distinct and graceful habit. It is so flori- 
ferous as to need staking if planted in a windy location. 
Stem-rooting; plant in fall or early spring, 8 inches deep ; 
July-flowering. Extra strong bulbs, $6.00 for 10; $57.50 
per 100. Smaller, good flowering bulbs, $4.50 for 10; 
$42.50 per 100.

AUGUST-FLOWERING LILIES 
AURATUM 
AURATUM MACRANTHUM (Platyphyllum). This 
is the robust growing form; the stem is stout and attains 
a considerable height, the leaves are broad; enormous 
flowers, white, richly spotted yellow. Undoubtedly the 
choicest of all, and in our opinion, superior to the type. 
Through our connections with the American Govern- 
ment in control in Japan we have been successful in secur- 
ing the same special strain of bulbs that we handled prior 
to the war. They are all especially selected for us and 
are free from disease. 
Some extra JUMBO size bulbs are available at very 
special prices: 
Mammoth Size 14 to 20 inches in circumference (Very 
Limited) $2.10 each, $20.00 for 10. 
Jumbo Size 13 to 15 inches in circumference (Limited ) 
$1.75 each, $17.00 for 10. 
Extra Large Size 11 to 13 inches in circumference $1.25 
each; $10.00 for 10; $97.50 per 100. 
Large Size 10 to 11 inches in circumference $1.00 each; 
$9.00 for 10; $87.50 per 100. See illustration, page 45. 
BATEMANNIAE. Clear. glowing apricot flowers, from 
3 to 4 inches in diameter, on stems about 3 feet high, bear-

HENRYI. A splendid garden plant, vigorous in its 
erowth, failing very seldom. One of the best border Lilies, 
reaching over 8 feet and more in height when established, 
and bearing more than twenty flowers of a rich, deep, 
orange-yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in both light and 
heavy loam, but prefers soil with a mixture of peat. Plant 
very deep, 10 inches. A partially shaded place, sheltered 
from high winds, suits it best. It is a beautiful Lily. Stem- 
roots; late fall or early spring planting. August-Septem- 
ber flowering. Extra selected bulbs, $1.25 each; $10.00 
for 10; $97.50 per 100. Selected bulbs, $5.75 for 10; 
$55.00 per 100. 
SPECIOSUM 
Originally a native of Korea, it is deservedly one of 
the greatest favorites as a border plant, of daring as well 
as beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and 
are handsomely spotted, often branded with distinct color, 
The style is thrown out in a curved line of much grace 
and strength. The stamens boldly diverge from it. The 
anthers are conspicuous for their size, color and ex. 
tremely delicate poise. Must be planted deeply because 
it forms an unusually strong mass of stem roots. 
SPECIOSIUM ALBUM NOVUM. This form is distinct 
from the “Kretzeri.” Flowers are large, of the purest 
white, with beautiful golden yellow anthers. Stem-roots. 
August-September flowering. Available for planting in 
late November or early spring. Extra selected bulbs, 
$2.25 each; $22.00 for 10; $210.00 per 100. Smaller, 
good flowering bulbs, $1.75 each; $15.00 for 10; $140.00 
per 100. 
SPECIOSIUM MAGNIFICUM. = Rich ruby-carmine, 
margined white; stout of substance and broad of petal. Im- 
proved “Rubrum.” This variety stands out prominently 
on account of its vigorous growth as well as the size and 
depth of coloring of the blooms. Stem-roots, August- 
September flowering. Available for planting in late No- 
vember or early spring. Jumbo bulbs. (Imported Korean 
erown.) $1.25 each; $12.00 for 10; $115.00 per 100.

eood flowering size bulbs. $7.50 for 10; $72.50 per 100. 
(For the finest effect we recommend the large size bulbs.) 
SPECIOSIUM MELPOMENE. The delicate beauty of 
the lighter colored flowers makes this variety most desir- 
able. Deep carmine-crimson, intensified by a narrow mar- 
ein of white. Stem-roots, August-September flowering. 
Jumbo bulbs. (Imported Korean grown.) $1.25 each; 
$12.00 for 10; $115.00 per 100. Extra selected large

mend the large size bulbs.) See illustration, page 45.

Lily with the richest color. The large, shapely flowers are 
of a rich, dark, salmon-orange spotted with glossy black.

deep; August-September flowering. Extra selected bulbs, 
$5.25 for 10; $50.00 per 100. A smaller, vood, flowering
