LILIUM SPECIOSUM ALBUM NOVUM 
SPECIOSUM 
Originally a native of Korea, it is deservedly one of the 
greatest favorites as a border plant, of daring as well as 
beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and are 
handsomely spotted, often branded with distinct color. 
The style is thrown out in a curved. line of much grace 
and strength. The stamens boldly diverge from it. The 
anthers are conspicuous for their size, color and ex- 
tremely delicate poise. Must be planted deeply because it 
forms an unusually strong mass of stem roots. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM NOVUM. Flowers are large, of 
the purest white, with beautitul golden yellow anthers. 
Stem-roots, August-September flowering. Available for 
planting in early spring. See illustration above. This is

SULPHUREUM. (Wallichianum Superbum) — ‘This 
is a magnificent Lily, very amenable to cultivation. With 
ordinary care, it will flower year after year. It is without 
doubt one of the most gorgeous Lilies. 
Several beautiful flowers are majestically carried six 
feet high on strong, wiry spikes, artistically clothed in an 
abundance of light, narrow foliage, intriguing the garden 
in the morning and towards evening with a delicious 
fragrance. 
These flowers, trumpet-shaped and elegantly formed, 
are nine inches long and of great substance; the coloring 
is the softest combination of creamy-white shading to 
light yellow, with a flushed rose tinge on the outside. 
The interior is lovely, suffused with rich yellow. 
The colored illustration of one blossom can only convey 
a faint suggestion of the great beauty and delicacy of 
this so rare and beautiful Lily. 
Happily, this plant is so constituted that we can have 
it with us for a considerable period. In the garden it is 
the latest Lily to bloom, which makes it invaluable for 
the September garden. By planting in April or May, it 
will flower in late August and into September. If planted 
in June, it will flower during September and into October. 
We recommend that you order at once, stating if you 
wish bulbs for August-September flowering, or bulbs for 
September-October flowering so that we may send them 
to you at the right time. See illustration, page 31.
