W. E. MARSHALL AND CO., Inc., NEW YORK 
The New T^ace of 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS 
The late Mrs. Backhouse of England was suc¬ 
cessful in raising many beautiful seedling Lilies 
from crosses made between L. Martagon and 
L. Hansonii. It was a great pleasure, last Sum¬ 
mer, to see these Lilies luxuriating at Sutton 
Court, the home of the raiser, together with many 
other beautiful hybrids as yet in their infancy. 
BROCADE (A). A most effective garden Lily, 
vigorous and very free-flowering. Each in¬ 
florescence carries a multitude of orange- 
yellow flowers, overlaid with rosy-pink on 
the outside, and the interior marbled pink 
with chocolate spots on a yellow ground. 
Height 6 ft. June-July. 
$5.00 each. 
GOLDEN ORB (A). Flowers are three inches 
across, of a light clear straw color with green 
center, conspicuously spotted with small crim¬ 
son dots; outside ribbed deep golden-brown. 
Height 3 to 4 ft. June-July. 
$10.00 each. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE (A). A tall and 
stately Lily bearing fifteen to thirty flowers 
of an orange-yellow tone, lightly spotted 
purple. Very distinct in character. Height 
5 ft. June-July. 
$3.00 each. 
SCEPTRE (A). One of the most vigorous and 
free-flowering of the new varieties. The 
flowers, which are star-shaped, are pinky- 
buff, and are freely covered with small dark 
spots. Height 6 ft. June-July. 
$5.00 each. 
SUTTON COURT (A). Somewhat similar to the 
foregoing variety, but stronger in growth and 
growing even taller. The flowers are more 
reflexed and heavily spotted with purple, 
whilst the exterior of petal is distinctly shaded 
with pink, the exterior surface being of a light 
yellow. Height 6 to 7 ft. June-July. (Illus¬ 
trated on page 4.) 
$4.00 each.
