Most of the Lilies we offer-are easily grown if certain simple re- 
quirements are met. In general they like a deep rich loam with per- 
fect drainage. If there is any question about the latter, the beds may 
be raised two or three inches or the bulbs placed in individual pockets 
of sand. To keep the hot sun from baking the soil over them, lightly 
rooting ground covers are essential. 
This is one of the finest collections of Lilies available 
in America today, including many rare and beautiful 
treasures which are extremely scarce and difficult to 
obtain. It is one of Van Tubergen’s specialties, and 
represents more than 50 years of plant collecting in 
wild, remote regions of the world. 
All bulbs are firm, healthy, well cured specimens that 
will delight the most discriminating Lily fancier. 
Lilies mature so late in the season that delivery may be delayed 
until late Autumn. As late planting is preferable to spring planting 
for most varieties, the ground should be protected against freezing 
by mulching deeply with leaves or other material. A bucket of dry 
soil stored inside for covering them is a convenience. In no case, 
should the bulbs remain long unplanted.

AMABILE, S-8. A hardy rare species from Korea. This pretty Lily 
bears 6 to 8 large reflexed flowers of rich grenadine-red freely 
spotted with black. One of the easiest to grow but needs partial 
shade. Height )2) tor si teet. Junenmcach-O0G 5 —5 165, O-pou lio, 
12-$6.30, 25-$11.20. 
AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM, B-9. The exotic Gold Banded Lily 
of Japan. This is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all 
Lilies, but until recently it has not been very common because bulbs 
imported from Japan were very unhealthy. Our stock is raised 
from seed by a leading American grower and hybridizer, and is as 
free from virus as any Lilies of this type ever will be. This is one 
of the finest strains available and all bulbs have been flowered in 
the nursery for selection. The magnificent flowers of waxen white 
are striped with pure gold along the center of each petal, and often 
crimson spotted. Their fragrance is most enchanting. After the bulb 
becomes well established it is not unusual to have 6 to 9 foot stems 
bearing 15 to 30 huge flowers of breathtaking beauty during August 
and September. 
7 to 8 inch Bulbs—Each-$1.35, 3-$3.75, 6-$6.90 
6 to 7 inch Bulbs—Each-$1.10, 3-$3.00, 6-$5.50. 
BROWNI, S-8. This is considered to rank among the half-dozen 
most beautiful Lilies grown. The white trumpets are large with 
exterior shadings of brown, and the stalk is well-clothed with dark 
green glossy leaves. Ours is the true stock, grown in Holland for 
years. Plant bulb on its side in sandy loam. Height 3 to 4 feet. 
June-July. 18/20 cm. Each-$1.75, 3-$4.85, 12-$17.25. 
CANADENSE, B-7. A very graceful, lovely Lily, which is worthy of 
space in any garden. Produces from 10 to 15 nodding, bell-shaped 
flowers varying in color from bold flashing yellow through orange to 
red, with brownish spots. Native to America. Blooms best in full 
sun, in moist humusy soil. Two to five feet tall. July. Each-75c, 
3-$2.05, 6-$3.95, 12-$7.90. 
CANDIDUM, B-2 (The Madonna Lily). June-July. This is one of 
the oldest and best loved Lilies known. The pure waxy-white flowers 
are borne freely on 3 to 4 foot stalks and are very fragrant. Add 
purple Canterbury Bells and blue Japanese Iris to the commonplace 
combination of L. Candidum and Delphinium to form a more unusual 
color grouping. Very easily grown but must be planted in early 
September. 
20/22 em.—Each-50c, 3-$1.25, 6-$2.35, 12-$4.70 
22/24 cm.—Each-55c, 3-$1.40, 6-$2.70, 12-$5.40

CROCEUM, S-5. The Candlestick Lily. Ours is the true variety of 
this handsome orange Lily. The flowers are of candelabrum type held 
upright in huge umbels on strong stems. A robust grower that in- 
creases freely to make large clumps. Lovely with purple Petunias.
