7261 Gloriosa Lily 
LILY ROTHSCHILDIANA 
5 A most unusual and fascinating garden lily in that it will 
climb if it has something nearby to which it may attach itself. 
Leaves are elongated, soft green with curling tendrils on the 
tips with which they cling to a fence, trellis, string or wire. 
Lily Rothschildiana is exotic in color and shape. The petals 
' are sharply recurved, brilliant red bordered golden yellow — 
a striking bicolor contrast, the red becoming darker as flowers 
age. Planted in full sun, the colorings are more brilliant but 
plants become stockier, shorter and the stems of less length. 
Blooms have remarkable keeping qualities so make wonderful 
cut flowers. They also make attractive pot plants. 
Roots are entirely unlike any of the other lilies—they do 
not have scales but are somewhat like a small dahlia tuber, 
i: 4 to 6 in. long and a trifle thicker than a lead pencil. Plant in 
a horizontal position, 4 to 5 in. deep in full sun or semi-shade. 
They do best in a sandy soil, preferably on the acid side; it is 
essential that any soil in which tubers are planted be well 
drained. Not hardy except in frost-free sections. 
This unique and interesting lily is a species discovered in 
East Africa. Early records show it was grown on the estate of 
the Hon. Walter Rothschild of England, for whom it was 
named. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.50; 12 for $12.50 Lily bulbs postpaid in continental U.S. . . 121
