LILIUM FIRE KING 
FIRE KING. A NEW lily of very outstanding merit. It is 
by far the most brilliant lily in cultivation today. The 
blossoms are vermilion-scarlet with a peppering of small 
black dots running deep into the throat; the pistil is scar- 
let and the anthers deep brown for a charming contrast. 
We have seen as many as 40 of the brilliant flowers on a 
single 4 foot stem. The flowers face up and out from the 
stem; greatly enhancing its beauty in the garden and when 
used as a cut flower for indoor decoration. It is free from 
disease, hardy and naturalizes readily. Flowers from the 
end of June to the end of July and is long lasting when 
cut. Sure to become one of the most popular garden lilies. 
Plant 8 inches deep. Extra heavy selected bulbs, $1.25 
each; $11.00 for 10; $95.00 per 100. Selected bulbs, $1.00 
each; $9.00 for 10; $85.00 per 100. 
HANSONII. In every way most desirable, not particular 
in its cultural requirements and extremely handsome in 
flower; does well in light loam. Plant among shrubs and 
low plants to protect young shoots, this being one of the 
earliest Lilies to appear in spring. Does as well in thin 
woodland as it does in the border. Protect from full sun, 
otherwise the flower will bleach a little. The stem reaches 
a height of 4 to 5 feet, carrying blossoms 2 inches across, 
regularly reflexed, the petals being of a bright orange- 
yellow, spotted more or less with brown; of a waxy tex- 
ture. Stem-roots; 10 inches deep; June-flowering. Extra 
heavy selected bulbs, $9.75 for 10; $95.00 per 100. See 
illustration, Color Guide. 
HENRYI. One of the best border Lilies, reaching eight 
feet and more in height when established, and bearing 
more than twenty flowers of a rich, deep orange-yellow. 
The petals of the flowers are rolled back like in the Specio- 
sum Lily and they are very handsome. The stamens boldly 
diverge from it. The anthers are conspicuous for their size, 
color and extremely delicate poise. A partially shaded 
place, sheltered from winds, suits it best. It is a beautiful 
Lily. Stemroots; plant ten inches deep. August-September 
flowering. Extra selected bulbs, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 10; 
$85.00 per 100. Selected bulbs, $0.85 each; $7.50 for 10; 
$75.00 per 100. 
REGALE. (The Regal or Royal Lily) One of the most 
beautiful, and one of the hardiest Lilies in cultivation, 
Lilium Regale is truly a royal Lily, worthy of a place in 
every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigor- 
ous 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; externally 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 floriferious 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. See illus- 
tration, Color Guide. Jumbo Bulbs, $1.50 each; $12.50 for 
10; $110.00 per 100. 
Extra selected large bulbs, $1.25 each; $10.00 for 10; 
$97.50 per 100. 
Large size good flowering bulbs, $1.00 each; $9.00 for 
10; $85.00 per 100. 
Smaller size, $6.00 for 10; $60.00 per 100.
