eneral List of Htardy Lilies 
Amabile Each 85c, Three $2.45, Doz. $9.50, 25 $18.50 
Brilliant grenadine-red flowers, nicely spotted with black, carried on 
strong, slender, 3-foot stems. Because of its very free flowering habit, 
few bulbs are needed to make a brilliant dash of color in the garden. 
Best suited as a bold accent group in the border, L. amabile does well 
in full sun and will stand considerable drought. The intense color does 
not fade in direct sunlight. The bulbs are white, high crowned, and 
composed of relatively large scales. Plant 5 inches deep in light porous 
soils, shallower in clay and adobe. Stem roots are sparse or entirely 
lacking; basal roots heavy and contractile. Underground stem bulblets 
are formed in profusion, especially on the smaller stems. 
Amabile Luteum Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $11.00, 25 $21.75 
One of the loveliest of the yellow flowered Lilies, this rare form is ident- 
ical to the type, except in color, and requires the same culture. The 
healthy seedlings we offer are from parent plants selected for outstand- 
ing color, size and placement of the flowers. Flowering a few days later 
than L. amabile, the bright yellow flowers combine with almost any 
companion plant and are exceptionally beautiful when seen against a

mottiae and L. Elegans-Dauricum bears grenadine-red flowers on 3- to 
5-foot stems. A most worth-while garden plant, it is vigorous and 
disease-free and of easy culture. Plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep 
in either full sun or partial shade. This Lily divides and increases rapid!y 
and should be lifted and separated when the bulbs become crowded.

Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75, 25 $19.00

appearance of these Lilies is graceful and delightful in the extreme.

white Turk’s Cap flowers, with yellow tipped stamens, look fascinating.

This new hybrid is the result of a Maxwill cross with the common Tiger 
Lily. It produces bulblets along the stem and increases rapidly. This 
hardy and prolific variety will be grown in every garden as soon as avail- 
able. As a cut flower or for naturalizing, it will be hard to beat; its 
lovely rich apricot-orange flowers are cheerful and look well anywhere.

X Lilium Willmottiae. In its general habit and pyramidal inflorescence 
this hybrid is similar to Lilium Willmottiae, but the blooms are lighter 
in color, the stamens are longer and the anthers are orange-red. The 
spike is tall and very strong, but gracefully slender, bearing as many 
as 30 or more large recurving flowers. Height 6 to 7 feet. Comes into 
flower in late July. A splendid Lily acclaimed by Lily specialists the 
world over. Free flowering and remarkably free from the ordinary Lily 
diseases. Of easy culture.

Creelman Hybrids Each 75c, Three $2.10, Doz. $7.25, 25 $14.00 
The long lasting flowers, which are very large, often measuring 8 inches 
in iength, carried in large numbers on strong, long stems, with fine 
foliage, resemble a Regale Lily of the best and truest type, with the 
bronzy tones more pronounced and a more intense yellow in the throat. 
It blooms 2 weeks after the Regale Lily; many flowers opening at one 
time. We have counted 35 perfect flowers and buds on a 6-foot spike.

well being. We have found this Lily to be entirely free from ordinary 
diseases to which so many other Lilies are subject. Easiest of culture 
and one of the hardiest.

limited few bulbs available.

Formosanum 
The latest flowering of all the popular Lilies, this white trumpet type is 
particularly desirable for gardening in moderate climates. The plants 
are often in flower as late as December in the mild section of the 
country. Of easiest culture, this Lily should be in every garden. Our 
strain is tall and free flowering and has been grown from selected plants 
for several generations. The bulbs are very small, but should be planted 
5 to 6 inches deep since Formosanum produces very heavy stem roots. 
Full sun or partial shade suits it well and for better flower production 
if some water is provided during the hottest part of the summer, you 
will be well rewarded for your trouble.
