LILIUM FIRE KING — See page 27 
GEORGE C. CREELMAN. One of the outstanding in- 
troduction of recent years. The true Creelman Lily. 
Beautiful — permanent — prolific — hardy — depend- 
able —easy to grow. Award of Merit, Royal Horti- 
cultural 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 numbers 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 vigorous 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 subject. Easiest of culture and one of 
the hardiest. Stem-rooting. Plant 10 inches deep. Extra 
heavy, specimen bulbs, limited stock, $2.00 each; $5.75 
for 3; $17.50 for 10; $40.00 for 25. Selected strong 
flowering bulbs, $1.50 each; $4.00 for 3; $12.50 for 10; 
$30.00 for 25. 
Lily blooms are beautiful arranged in a corsage -— 
especially recommended for this purpose are: 
Speciosum Magnificum 
Auratum Macranthum 
Henryi 
Speciosum Album Novum 
Tigrinum Flore Pleno 
Tigrinum Splendens 
HENRYI. One of the best border Lilies, reaching 8 
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. See illustration, page 31. 
Jumbo Bulbs: $1.75 each; $5.25 for 3; $17.00 for 10. 
Extra Selected Bulbs: $1.00 each; $2.75 for 3; $8.50 for 
10; $19.00 for 25. 
JAPONICUM. “The Pink Lily.” Also known as Krameri. 
This is one of the few “pink” Lilies of our gardens, and 
a very lovely thing it is. The flowers are carried horizon- 
tally on stems 3 feet high. It is a lily so beautiful and of 
a color so lovely that it should be in every garden. It has 
been known to give as many as seven blooms to the stem, 
though one and two flowers to a stem the first year is usual. 
The funnel-shaped, finely formed flowers are six inches 
and more in length, and as much across, of a beautiful 
clear pink color often shaded blush. The soil generally 
advised for it is a light loam, while some claim it is finest 
in a peaty soil. It roots from the stem as well as from the 
bulb, and therefore should be planted deep, fully eight 
inches. June flowering, plant so that it will have slight 
protection from mid-day sun. Our bulbs are from the 
New Improved Strain. See color illustration, page 35. 
Extra Heavy Selected Bulbs: $2.85 for 3; $9.00 for 10; 
$17.50 for 25; $60.00 per 100.
