JULY-FLOWERING LILIES 
CENTIFOLIUM. Found in a cabbage garden by the late 
Mr. Reginald Farrer, in his first expedition to China. 
In general appearance it resembles a huge Lilium Sul- 
phureum or Browni, with long, tubular, white flowers, 
colored and streaked externally with brown and flushed 
internally with yellow at the base of the trumpet. This 
is a giant among Lilies, and has proved quite hardy. 
Fall planting only, 8 inches deep; July-flowering. Extra 
selected bulbs, $8.00 for 10; $75.00 for 100. See illus- 
tration, Color Guide. 
DAVIDII (True). A fine Lily from western China, very 
graceful, with a tall slender stem, strong and erect and 
bearing up to twenty or more bright cinnabar-red, tiger- 
like flowers, copiously spotted with glossy black. It com- 
bines a very refined and elegant appearance with a splen- 
did constitution and is one of the best summer-flowering 
Lilies we have. Height, 5 to 7 feet. Late July-flowering. 
Stem-rooting. Plant in either a sunny or partially shaded 
position, 6 to 6 inches deep, in well-drained, sandy loam 
with leaf mold. Extra selected bulbs. $1.25 each; $11.00 
for 10. 
GEORGE C. CREELMAN. One of the outstanding in- 
troductions of recent years. The true Creelman Lily. 
Beautiful— permanent — prolific — hardy—dependable— 
easy to grow. Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural So- ° 
ciety, 1934. This Lily is not to be confused with “seed- 
lings” of the Lily, sometimes offered as Lilium Creelman. 
“Creelman” is beautiful in form and color, and artistic, 
while sturdy, virile, permanent, dependable and disease 
resistant. The long-lasting flowers, which are very large, 
often measuring 8 inches in length, carried in large num- 
bers on strong, long stems, with fine foliage, resemble a 
Regal 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 Regal Lily, many 
flowers opening at one time. We have counted 35 perfect 
flowers and buds on a 6-foot spike. Very strong and vigor- 
ous grower, the entire plant has an appearance of well- 
being. We have found this Lily to be entirely free from 
ordinary diseases to which so many other Lilies are sub- 
ject. Easiest of culture and one of the hardiest. Stem- 
rooting. Plant 10 inches deep. Extra heavy, specimen 
bulbs, limited stock, $2.25 each; $21.00 for 10. Selected 
strong flowering bulbs, $1.50 each; $14.00 for 10. See 
illustration, page 30. 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM MAGNIFICUM. Also 
known as “The Sunset Lily.” A variety recently re-intro- 
duced, which we can recommend very highly. The very 
strong spikes reach a height from 6 to 8 feet with very 
large flowers, the outer petals being a scarlet-orange, the 
inner half, bright orange, thickly dotted purplish brown. 
Extra selected bulbs, $7.50 for 10; $72.50 per 100. 
REGALE. (The Regal or Royal Lily). Lilium Regale is 
truly a royal Lily, worthy of a place in every garden; 
it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigorous 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; exter- 
nally 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.

10; $65.00 per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable Lily varies from 
pale yellow to deep crimson, more or less spotted on the 
inner surface of the petals. Valuable as a late-flowering 
Lily. Fine, established specimens often reach a height of 
10 feet and more, bearing from twenty to thirty elegantly 
reflexed flowers, arranged in large cone-like clusters. 
Does well in ordinary garden soil if given good drainage, 
partial shade and a ground cover; prefers a damp situa- 
tion. Plant in large clumps or masses. Base-roots; fall 
planting only, 4 inches deep; July-flowering. Selected 
bulbs, $5.00 for 10; $47.50 per 100. A smaller, good- 
flowering bulb, $4.00 for 10; $37.50 per 100. 
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.
