a 
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 Brownii, 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. Plant 
8 inches deep; July-flowering. Illustration, page 31. 
Extra selected jumbo bulbs, $1.75 each; $16.00 for 10. 
Smaller, strong-flowering bulbs, $1.25 each; $11.00 for 
10. 
“All still and Lily-scented, 
The 
‘Oh, 
And cast your cares away, 
For tall and white the Lilies 
Like guardian angels stood, 
garden seemed to say: 
weary one, come, enter 
To ward away the evil 
{nd encompass the good. 
To turn away thoughts world-wise, 
To want and see and hear 
The God-like, silent message 
Of things that bless and cheer.”

troductions of recent years. The ¢rue Creelman Lily. 
Beautiful — permanent — prolific — hardy — dependa- 
ble — easy to grow. Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural 
Society. This Lily is not to be confused with “seedlings” 
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- 
Cc 

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 vig- 
orous 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. See illustration above.
