grassy foliage and bright scarlet Turkscap 
flowers give it a distinctive appearance. Old 
established bulbs bear 20 to 30 flowers. 
I recommend three-fourths inch bulbs but can 
supply a few extra large bulbs for those whose 
trade demands size. Eighteen to 24 inches high. 
Early June blooming. 
L. TESTACEUM 
A natural hybrid of unknown origin, this 
magnificent Lily has been in cultivation for al¬ 
most 100 years, but is still quite scarce. It is 
hardy and quite thrifty when established hut 
resents moving and many bulbs are lost in trans¬ 
planting. I recommend September planting. 
Blooms in July. Color nankeen yellow. 
L. UMBELLATUM 
Bearing large umbellate heads of bright 
orange and red flowers this variety is especially 
valuable for mass planting in the hardy border 
and among shrubs. The stalks are sturdy and 
the foliage heavy. They do well in any good 
garden soil. 
I have found a few varieties sent out by deal¬ 
ers under many names. 
A variety found in local gardens is slightly 
larger and has brighter colored flowers than any 
other that I have seen. It blooms about ten days 
later than Sappho or Erectum and is a very de¬ 
sirable form. 
I offer Erectum, Grandiflora, Sappho and 
Local Unnamed at the same price.
