SUPERBUM. The color in this desirable Lily varies from 
pale yellow to deep crimson, more or less spotted on the 
inner surface of the petals. Valuable as a late-flowering 
Lily. Fine, established specimens often reach a height of 
10 feet and more, bearing from twenty to thirty elegantly 
reflexed flowers, arranged in large cone-like clusters. 
Does well in ordinary garden soil if given good drainage, 
partial shade and a ground cover; prefers a damp situa- 
tion. Plant in large clumps or masses. Base-roots; fall 
planting only, 4 inches deep; July-flowering. Selected 
bulbs, $6.00 for 10; $14.00 for 25; $55.00 per 100. 
WILLMOTTIAE. This beautiful Lily was introduced 
from China and has proved to be of strong and vigorous 
constitution. Ordinarily it grows to a height of 4 feet and 
bears as high as 20 flowers on a stem. It has been known 
to reach a height of 6 to 7 feet, carrying as many as 40 
or more flowers on a stem when established. The flowers 
are 3 inches across, of a vivid orange-red; the recurved 
petals are covered with numerous small brown spots. 
The slender foliage is a deep rich green and the whole 
plant is of a distinct and graceful habit. It is so flori- 
ferous as to need staking if planted in a windy location. 
Stem-rooting; plant in fall or early spring, 8 inches 
deep; July-flowering. Extra strong bulbs, $6.00 for 10; 
$14.50 for 25; $57.50 per 100. 
REGALE. (The Regal or Royal Lily). A vigorous grower 
with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with 
long, linear-lanceolate foliage. Center of flower flushed 
with yellow, shading to white at the outer edges; exter- 
nally the flowers are streaked with brown on the “ribs,” 
shaded through the almost translucent petals with a 
delightful pearly tint; the contract between the rich wine 
color of the reverse of the petals and the gold shading 
of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. 
The Regal Lily is very floriferous and, when thorough- 
ly established, bears as high as eighteen and twenty 
flowers during the season. They succeed in any good rich 
garden soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps of five to 
twenty-five bulbs, they are especially attractive among 
the delphiniums and other July-flowering perennials.

AUGUST-FLOWERING LILIES 
AURATUM MACRANTHUM (Platyphyllum). This is 
the robust growing form; the stem is stout and attains 
a considerable height, the leaves are broad; enormous 
flowers, white, richly spotted yellow. Undoubtedly the 
choicest of all, and in our opinion, superior to the type. 
Through our connections with the American Govern- 
ment in control in Japan we have been successful in 
securing the same special strain of bulbs that we handled 
prior to the war. They are all especially selected for us 
and are free from disease. 
Some extra JUMBO size bulbs are available at very 
special prices:

Limited) $2.10 each, $6.00 for 3; $20.00 for 10.

per 100. See illustration, Color Guide. 
HENRYI. A splendid garden plant, vigorous in its 
growth, failing very seldom. One of the best border 
Lilies, reaching over 8 feet and more in height when 
established, and bearing more than twenty flowers of a 
rich, deep, orange-yellow. Fine foliage. Does well in 
both light and heavy loam, but prefers soil with a mix- 
ture of peat. Plant very deep, 10 inches. A partially 
shaded place, sheltered from high winds, suits it best. 
It is a beautiful Lily. Stem-roots; late fall or early 
spring planting. August-September flowering. Extra 
selected bulbs, $1.25 each; $3.50 for 3; $10.00 for 10;

Speciosum 
It is our opinion that this is deservedly one of the 
greatest favorites as a border plant, of daring as well 
as beautiful form. The petals are well rolled back and 
are handsomely spotted, often branded with distinct 
color. The style is thrown out in a curved line of much 
grace and strength. The stamens boldly diverge from it. 
The anthers are conspicuous for their size, color and 
extremely delicate poise. Must be planted deeply because 
it forms an unusually strong mass of stem roots. 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM NOVUM. This form is distinct 
from the “Kretzeri.” Flowers are large, of the purest 
white, with beautiful golden yellow anthers. Stem-roots. 
August-September flowering. Available for planting in 
late November or early spring. Jumbo Bulbs $2.25 each; 
$6.50 for 3; $21.00 for 10; $52.00 for 25; $200.00 per 
100. Extra Selected Bulbs $1.75 each; $5.00 for 3; 
$15.00 for 10; $35.00 for 25; $135.00 per 100. Smaller, 
good flowering bulbs; $1.50 each; $12.00 for 10; 
$115.00 per 100. 
SPECIOSUM MAGNIFICUM. Rich ruby-carmine, mar- 
gined white; stout of substance and broad of petal. 
Improved “Rubrum.” This variety stands out prominent- 
ly on account of its vigorous growth as well as the size 
and depth of coloring of the blooms. Stem-roots, 
August-September flowering. Available for planting in 
late November or early spring.
