AURATUM LILIES 
(the Gold Banded Lilies) 
Probably the most spectacular and best loved of all lilies. The flowers 
are very large, bowl-shaped, waxy-white, usually crimson spotted, and 
each segment is striped with a gold band. Perfect drainage and ample 
humus are essential to success with Auratums. Plant 5’’ deep in 
partial shade. 
AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM—Huge flowers, often almost a foot in 
diameter, carried on 4-6’ stems. One of the finest and most hardy of 
all Auratums. August-September. $1.65 each; 3 for $4.25 
AURATUM PICTUM—Gorgeous blooms are more heavily spotted than 
the Platyphyllum, with the tips of the petals flushed crimson. August- 
September. $4.35 each; 3 for $12.00 
AURATUM PRAECOX—Similar to Platyphyllum but flowers are not 
quite as large and blooms a week to ten days earlier. 
$1.90 each; 3 for $5.00 
AURATUM TRICOLOR—This is the exception to the Auratum rule 
of crimson spots. Tricolor has the distinct gold band, but spots are 
pale yellow. $5.00 each; 3 for $14.00
