JAPONICUM. (Formerly listed as Krameri.) This is 
one of the few “pink” Lilies of our gardens, and a very 
lovely thing it is. The flowers are carried horizontally on 
stems 3 feet high. Somewhat capricious in its require- 
ments. The soil generally advised for it is a light loam, 
while some claim that the color is finest in peat. It is a 
Lily so beautiful and of a color so lovely and unusual 
that it is worth taking pains with. It roots from the stem 
as well as from the bulb, and therefore should be planted 
rather deeply, fully 8 inches. It has been known to give 
as many as seven blooms to a stem, though one and two 
flowers to a stem the first year is usual. The funnel- 
shaped, finely formed flowers are 6 inches or more in 
length, and as much across, of a beautiful pink color 
often shaded blush. Late fall or early spring planting; 
stem-roots. We recommend that these Lilies be planted 
in pots and started in cold frames; then plunge later, 
pot and all, in the places set aside for them, giving them 
a little protection from the mid-day sun. Extra-heavy, 
selected bulbs, $3.00 for 3; $9.00 for 10; $22.00 for 25; 
$85.00 per 100. 
MARTAGON ALBUM. There are few more beautiful 
things than the white Martagon Lily when seen in its best 
form and thriving in such a way as to reveal its full 
beauty. The appearance of these Lilies is graceful and 
delightful in the extreme. Rising on slender stems, 4, 5, 
and sometimes nearly 6 feet high, the numerous droop- 
ing, waxlike, white “Turk’s Cap” flowers, with yellow- 
tipped stamens, look inexpressibly fascinating. The small 
flowers are symmetrical in shape, with reflexed petals, 
and are borne in terminal, pyramid-shaped clusters. 
The white Martagon appears to flourish best where its 
lower growths have the benefit of the partial shade 
afforded by herbaceous plants or shrubs, and it never 
looks better than when springing through and towering 
over some of moderate vigor. They like loamy soil, but 
they are finest in cool, damp places. The Martagon Lily 
does wonderfully well in the shade of trees, and the 
white variety is no exception in this respect. Few, if any, 
stem-roots; fall planting only, 6 inches deep; June- 
flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, $1.50 each; 
$4.00 for 3; $12.00 for 10; $28.50 for 25. 
MARTAGON DALMATICUM. Strong growing, stately 
Lily; the stems rise as tall as 6 feet, with correspond- 
ingly large flower cluster, once the plant is happily 
established. The flowers are a deep vinous purple of 
waxy texture and shine as if varnished. Base-roots; fall 
planting. 6 inches deep: June-flowering. Extra heavy, 
selected bulbs, $2.50 for 3; $7.75 for 10; $19.00 for 25; 
$75.00 per 100. 
MONADELPHUM SZOVITZIANUM. One of the finest 
Lilies and not difficut to grow. It reaches a height of 
4 to 6 feet. The stems are stout and the numerous leaves 
are pale green. As many as twenty flowers are sometimes 
borne on one stem of established bulbs, forming pyra- 
mid-shaped clusters. 
The flowers are drooping, with the segments of a thick 
wax-like texture, regularly recurved. They vary from a 
pale citron-yellow to deep yellow. 
Once established, it dislikes being tampered with. This 
beautiful and fine Lily of gardens must not be confused 
with a variety called Monadelphum, which is collected 
in Russia and is inferior to Szovitzianum. Base-roots; 
fall planting only, 4 inches deep; early June flowering. 
See illustration, Color Guide. Extra heavy, selected 
bulbs, $2.25 each; $6.25 for 3; $20.00 for 10. 
TENUIFOLIUM. A charming little early-flowering Lily 
with strongly recurved petals of waxy texture; deep 
scarlet. A gem in the rock garden as in the border. Likes 
a cool, damp, loamy soil and partial shade. Stem-roots, 
fall planting only, 7 inches deep; early June-flowering. 
Extra selected bulbs, $3.75 for 10; $9.00 for 25; $35.00 
per 100. 
TENUIFOLIUM, GOLDEN GLEAM. A beautiful, robust, 
and floriferous hybrid of this type, bearing numerous 
flowers of a pure apricot-yellow. A very elegant and 
fine plant. Flowers splendidly every year and is always

deep; early June-flowering. Extra heavy, selected bulbs, 
$3.75 for 10; $9.00 for 25; $35.00 per 100.

flexed. Extra selected bulbs, $2.00 for 3; $6.25 for 10; 
$15.25 for 25; $60.00 per 100.
