NEPALENSE (India) A rare and beautiful lily from the Himalayas. 
The blooms are bell-shaped and pendant, clear greenish-yellow 
heavily overlaid with deep wine-purple. It has stoloniferous 
stems and is one of the most exotic of all lilies but only moder- 
ately reliable. We recommend the use of a great deal of humus 
in the soil and a location that is a bit on the moist side, especial- 
ly in the North. July flowering. Height 4 feet. Plant six inches 
deep. Each $4.00 
PAPILLIFERUM This is one of the Yunnanese lilies sent to us in 
1947 by the celebrated explorer Dr. Joseph F. Rock. 
The plant, with us, is dwarf reaching only to 12 inches and bear- 
ing several small recurved blooms. The color is deep garnet on 
the interior of the petais with a central stripe of greenish white 
and the reverse is the same garnet but heavily overlaid with 
bronzy green. The leaves are slender and scattered and the 
stem has a marked tendency to wander underground. On our 
grounds the plants have been perfectly hardy through two dif- 
ficult winters and we find that they have the real advantage of 
coming into growth very late in the season. The blooms are 
fragrant and the plant is August flowering. A few bulbs will 
be released this season. : Each $10.00

similar to L. japonicum, when seen at a distance; white overlaid
