May to June, 2 ft. 
GOLDEN BELL—(Wallace, 1915). Empire yellow,

but lighter. 
GOLDENI—(Betscher, 1929). Free blooming lovely 
flower in plain golden orange, 3 ft., July, effec¬ 
tive garden variety.

sesses a distinct luminous quality and texture, 
comparable only with the Japanese Royal, soft

greatest hybrids at the London Lily Confer¬ 
ence, 1933.

bronze, tall. 
J. A. CRAWFORD—(Betscher, 1929). Counted one 
of the best apricot yellows, beautiful, tall, 
4 ft., July to August. The German description 
is “Tief aprikosen gelb-orange.” They consider 
this American hybrid one of the worthiest. One 
of the best landscaping varieties. 
J. R. MANN—(Betscher). One of the handsomest 
of Betscher’s hybrids, gleaming apricot, shading 
to lighter, very large flower, 3)4 ft.. July to 
August. One of fine vigor. 
KWANSO FLORE PLENO—This and the one be¬ 
low evidently cultivated clones from fulva, sim¬ 
ilar but double. Strange to say, highly rated 
in Germany. 
KWANSO, Fol. Variegated—A rare form, similar 
to above, but with broad white stripes down the 
leaves, handsome foliage effect. 
LADY F. HESKETH—(Perry, 1924). “A bold open

to July. “Apricot-buff over pink undertone.” 
Distinct.

Germans rate this among the best, call it 
“spiiteste aller sorten,” pale glistening lemon, 
a shade lighter than Lemona, beautiful with 
blue flowers, August 1 to September, 3 ft. 
MRS. J. R. MANN—Similar to J. R. Mann, but 
shorter and smaller flower. The two are dis¬ 
tinct in our experience.

used by Prof. Stout and others to produce new 
types. Flowers 3 in., color orange to chrome. 
Very late blooming, up till snow flies. Chief 
value as parent. 
OLIP—New hybrid, 3 ft. Slender, grass-like foliage. 
OPHIR—(Farr, 1924). Splendid heavy textured, 
bold lasting flower of dark gold, 4 ft. We are 
glad to see that the good repute of Ophir is in¬ 
creasing. Excellent both for cutting and garden 
use. A.M.R.H.S. 1931. Hybrid between Thun- 
bergii and Citrina, surpasses both parents.

newer hybrids. Summer bloomer, similar to 
Flava but fuller, clear empire yellow, 4)4 in.

thought of in Europe, similar to Gold Dust but 
paler, July, 2)4 ft., medium orange yellow with

called loveliest of that shade. Star-like large 
flowers.

rose, yellow line down center of petal, whole 
overcast with bronze, good bloomer, lovely. 
SUNNY WEST—(Sass). A matchless new hybrid, 
one of the largest pale yellows, also one of the 
latest, August to September, 50 in.

from England, crimson-copper shading to soft 
coppery rose, large, June to July, 2)4 ft.
