Pride of Charlotte. A truly su¬ 
perb new Lilium raised in the 
cold region of Northern Ver¬ 
mont. One which has stood the 
test of severe winters and hot 
summers and has come through 
unscathed when many regales, 
Sargentiaes and other varie¬ 
ties suffered severely. It flow¬ 
ers in late July and is a very 
sturdy grower with trumpets 
rather more constricted than 
those of regale but much 
longer. The inner portion of the 
trumpet is white with a soft 
sulphury suffusion, the outer 
part resembles Sargentiae of 
which this is a very much 
glorified form. It produces 
large dark colored bulbils 
abundantly, these starting to 
bloom the second year. It also 
seeds quite freely and seed¬ 
lings two years old flowered 
this season and absolutely true 
to type. A number of regale 
and Sargentiae hybrids have 
been raised in the past but 
this variety seems to outclass 
all of them in vigor, hardi¬ 
ness, ease of culture and all 
other good qualities. Bulbs are 
offered now for the first time 
as follows. 10—12 inch circ. $5.00 each 
8—10 inch circ. 4.00 each 
5— 7 inch. circ. 2.00 each 
Seeds ready in late October 
$1.00 pkt. 
Stock is rather limited and 
early applications will reserve 
bulbs.
