Auratum Lilies 
The Gold Randed Lily 
This is probably the best loved of al! lilies, gorgeously beautfiul, 
the “‘ne plus ultra’’ of the lily world. Flowering this lily, making 
it happy in their garden, is the apex of ambition with thousands of 
home gardeners. And now that American grown, acclimated bulbs 
are readily available, there is no excuse for the millions of failures 
you've suffered with imported bulbs. 
The secret of success with this wonderful lily is planting healthy 
bulbs and getting them in the ground at their naturally dormant 
time in the late fall. In the past not only have all too many of the 
imported bulbs been diseased, but they arrive in this country too 
late for fall planting and, held over in storage, they are so dried out 
by spring, that their chances of survival are very small. 
The Auratum is a very large, bowl-shaped lily, waxy-white, spotted 
crimson, each segment striped with a gold band. Sturdy three to 
eight foot stems carry up to thirty huge blooms when well estab- 
lished, and their fragrance is delightful. By planting the different 
varieties, blooming extends from late July into September and in 
mild sections, even later. They enjoy full sun except in warm sec- 
tions, though blooms last longer in partial shade. A moist soil, 
plenty of humus and good drainage is best. 
NOTE—PERFECT DRAINAGE and AMPLE HUMUS are absolutely 
essential to success with Auratums. 
AURATUM-130-This is the regular or ‘‘type’’ Auratum beloved by 
all flower lovers. The blooms are very large to huge, open bowl- 
shaped, waxy-white, spotted crimson and each segment striped with 
a gold band. All in all, it’s an exquisite lily, easily the crowning 
glory of any garden. Pictures but poorly portray its perfection.

AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM 
CENTER BLOOM IS TRI-COLOR 
A. uratum p latyphyllum 
AURATUM Platyphyllum—139-—Unquestionably the finest of all Au- 
ratums, a massive form, hardier, healthy and long lived. Mr. Kline 
has specialized on this for many years and the stock is exceptionally 
fine. Blooms are huge, often a foot and more in diameter. Its leaves 
are more numerous and broader. Upper petals, frequently somewhat 
pendant, give the blooms a delightful hooded look. Platyphyllum 
is not quite as spotted as the type. All in all it is outstanding. If you 
buy but one Auratum, this should be earnestly considered. Like the 
rest, it prefers partial shade, ample humus and good drainage.

AURATUM Tri-Color—133-Imagine if you can an Auratum with- 
out the crimson spots. Tri-Color is just this, it is similar to the 
famous Platyphyllum, has the gold band but instead of crimson, the 
spots are light yellow. It is strikingly beautiful but very scarce and 
rare. You will love its unusual effect.

AURATUM Extra Hardy—132-This is an Auratum especially suited 
to northern areas where frosts tarry late in the spring and come 
early in the fall. It is a selection from the type that comes up late, 
blooms quickly and matures early. Surely they are a welcome addi- 
tion to the group and should prove invaluable in the short season 
sections. Blooms, depth of planting, culture and all other factors 
are the same as the type (130).
