JULY-FLOWERING LILIES 
CENTIFOLIUM. Found in a cabbage garden by the late 
Mr. Reginald Farrer, in his first expedition to China. 
In general appearance it resembles a huge Lilium Sul- 
phureum or Browni, with long, tubular, white flowers, 
colored and streaked externally with brown and flushed 
internally with yellow at the base of the trumpet. This 
is a giant among Lilies, and has proved quite hardy. 
Fall planting only, 8 inches deep; July-flowering. Extra 
selected bulbs, $2.50 for 3; $8.00 for 10; $19.00 for 25; 
$75.00 for 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
FIRE KING. A NEW lily of very outstanding merit. It is 
by far the most brilliant lily in cultivation today. The 
blossoms are vermilion-scarlet with a peppering of small 
black dots running deep into the throat; the pistil is scar- 
let and the anthers deep brown for a charming contrast. 
We have seen as many as 40 of the brilliant flowers on a 
single 4 foot stem. The flowers face up and out from the 
stem; greatly enhancing its beauty in the garden and when 
used as a cut flower for indoor decoration. It is free from 
disease, hardy and naturalizes readily. Flowers from the 
end of June to the end of July and is long lasting when 
cut. Sure to become one of the most popular garden lilies. 
Plant 8 inches deep. See illustration, page 27. 
Extra Heavy Selected Bulbs: $1.25 each; $3.50 for 3; 
$11.00 for 10; $25.00 for 25. 
FIRE KING 
GEORGE C. CREELMAN 
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 witb 
“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; $16.00 for 10; $30.00 for 25. Selected strong 
flowering bulbs, $1.50 each; $4.00 for 3; $12.50 for 10; 
$25.00 for 25; $75.00 per 100.
