Contifolium Hybrids 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrid—21]2-Here’s a gorgeous lily, one 
you will want no matter how many others you may have. 
Their huge white trumpets, with exteriors tinted from 
green to pink and reddish purple, are held aloft on four 
to six foot stems. These lilies are close cousins to the 
Regale, the world’s most popular lily and in many respests 
more beautiful. They come into bloom just as the Regales 
are through and thus extend the season of white trumpets 
another three weeks. 
With a mulch to prevent them starting too early in the 
spring and being nipped by late frosts, they are very 
hardy. Plant groups against a dark evergreen background 
or in front of a late flowering pink climbing rose. They 
are lovely backed by a purple leaved plum or rising from 
a mass of heliotrope with a backing of Lonicera Heckrottii 
with its purple-yellow blooms. 
These unusually vigorous and healthy lilies with their 
free blooming habits are worthy of mass planting. A 
dozen or 25 or more will produce never-to-be-forgotten 
pictures. Our stocks are not unlimited but we have a 
substantial supply of top quality bulbs. July blooming. 
PD 6 inches. 


How hig Is “Flowering” Size? 
This depends entirely upon the particular variety. 
Formosanum will bloom beautifully from a bulb no 
larger than a robin’s egg. A flowering size bulb of 
Regale is a bit smaller than a hen’s egg. But regard- 
less of size a lot of lilies will not bloom the first year 
after planting due, probably, to not being fully estab- 
lished. Every bulb we send out is blooming size and 
has either flowered in the field or is of such a size 
we confidently expect it to bloom the first year. Extra 
large bulbs are sometimes slow to establish themselves. 



LILIUM CENTIFOLIUM HYBRID 

CENTIFOLIUM Hybrid, Selected Forms—2 | 3- 
These are just what the term describes, selec- 
tions from the tens of thousands of seedlings. 
They are selected for perfect form in growth 
and flower, tagged while in bloom and kept 
separate at digging time. Some have the 
clusters of bloom especially well spaced and 
perfectly held, others are superior in strength 
of stem and vigor of growth. Every bulb of 
this selection is definitely superior and well 
worth the added cost. 
There are but a limited number of these Se- 
lected Forms, so please ORDER EARLY. We 
fill orders in rotation as received.

CENTIFOLIUM Hybrid, Pure White—21]4- 
This is a selection from the Selected Forms 
but instead of the regular color effects, these 
are pure white both inside and out. The huge 
trumpets are beautifully held and all in all 
they are a grand group of white lilies bloom- 
ing in July. All the Centifoliums lend them- 
selves to grouping in the border, planted in 
clumps of three to a dozen or more where 
their delightful beauty will show off against 
a dark background and the foreground a mass 
of color contrasting or harmonizing with 
them. These whites are even more limited 
in supply so early orders are advised.
