Emblematic of purity and beauty. In no flower known to man is there such marked degree of waxy whiteness, grace of form and delightful fragrance as in the Lily. Their stately and upright growth, varied coloring and deli- cate fragrance place them first above all other bulbs. Ilarrisii, Candidum and Longiflorum can be furnished any time after receipt of this catalogue, the balance of this list not before October. Anratnm, (Gold-banded Japan Lily)—Considered by many the finest of all hardy Lilies. Flowers very large, made up of broad white petals thickly studded crimson, maroon and a bright golden band through the center of each petal. As the bulbs acquire age and strength the flowers attain their maximum size and number. Stalks from good sized bulbs frequently have from 12 to 15 flowers. 20c each, 6 for $1.00; extra large bulbs, 35c each, 4 for $1.00. Speciosum Album—Very fragrant large flowers, pure white with a green band running through the center of each petal. One of the best. 20c. Speciosum Melpomone—A beautiful variety, flowers very large and abundant. Frosted white, heavily spot- ted and clouded rich blood crimson. 25c. Speciosum Rubrum—White, beautifully spotted red; flowers in August. This is one of the most useful sec- tions of the Lily family, perfectly hardy, and flower- ing well under all circumstances. 15c, 4 for 50c. Batemanniae—A Japanese Lily growing 3 to 4 feet high, producing bright apricot-tinted flowers; blooms in July. 15c. Candidum—The old-fashioned, pure white garden Lily. Also known as Annunciation and Madonna Lily. One of the hardiest. A grand variety for winter flowering in pots. Very fragrant. 20c each; $2.00 per dozen.
