LILIES 
OTHER NEW LILIES 
LILIUM x DALHANSON11. A remarkably fine hybrid 
resulting from a cross between L. Martagon dalmaticum 
and L. Hansonii. It is very strong growing with long, sym¬ 
metrical spikes of glossy, dark mabogany-brown flowers, 
shaded with rich orange and handsomely spotted. Very 
vigorous. Height, 4 to 6 feet. June-flowering. Stem-root¬ 
ing. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in well-drained loam and 
leaf mold. Does equally well in either full sun or partial 
shade. Extra-selected bulbs. Each, $2.50. 
LILIUM x GRACE MARSHALL. A beautiful novelty, 
the result of crossing Lilium Willmottiee, and a seed¬ 
ling of L. dauricum. Pleight up to 5 feet. Received 
Award of Merit from the Royal Plorticultural Society of 
England. A strong and vigorous grower, very floriferous 
with as many as thirty-two large blooms carried on one 
plant when established. The color is between a grenadine- 
red and scarlet with brown spots which extend to within 
an inch of the tips of the broader segments and becoming 
more numerous towards the center. The outside of the 
petals is brownish in appearance. The crimson shadings 
in the center of the flower with grayish fuzz gives this 
flower a very unusual appearance. June-flowering. Stem¬ 
rooting. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Extra-strong, selected 
bulbs. Each, $5. 
LILIUM x HENRYI CITRINUM (var. “John T. Scheep- 
ers ’). This variety was exhibited at the 1933 Royal Plor¬ 
ticultural Society Lily Conference in London as Lilium 
Henryi (var. “Citrinum”), and created a sensation at that 
time. It is a cross between Lilium Henryi and Pardalinum 
Roezlii. It is the most refined citron-yellow with bright red 
stamens. The color contrast between the stamens and the 
flower is very pleasing. The flowers are larger than Lilium 
Henryi, but otherwise it has the same growth and habit 
and blooms at the same time. Stem-rooting. Plant 10 
inches deep. Extra-strong, selected bulbs, each, $25; 
smaller, flowering bulbs, each, $ 15. Smaller, 2 year old 
bulbs, each $ 10. 
LILIUM x HENRYI CITRINUM (var. “Frederick R. New- 
bold”). Similar in every respect to the above except that 
it is of upright habit. Extra-strong, selected bulbs, each, 
$25; smaller, flowering bulbs, each, $15. Smaller, 2 year 
old bulbs, each $ 10. 
LILIUM x LILLIAN CUMMINGS. Very beautiful 
novelty resulting from crossing Lilium Willmottiee with 
a seedling of L. dauricum. Very strong and vigorous 
grower, reaching a height of 51/2 feet. Large flowers of a 
clear grenadine-red with small dark brown spots with the 
outside of the petals of a paler hue. The individual flowers 
are slightly smaller than L. x Grace Marshall and there is 
a distinct division between the segments. Received Award 
of Merit of the Plorticultural Society of New York, June, 
1936. June-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 6 to 8 inches 
deep. Extra-strong, selected bulbs. Each, $5. Smaller, 
2 year old bulbs, each, $3. 
LILIUM x LYLA McCANN. Another very beautiful 
cross between Lilium Willmottiee and a seedling of L. 
dauricum. A much * dwarfer” plant than either L. x. 
Grace Marshall or L. x Lillian Cummings, reaching a 
height of 3 I /2 feet. It was principally chosen for its color 
which is a lively orange. Also a very strong and vigorous 
grower, very florific. June-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 
6 to 8 inches deep. Extra-strong, selected bulbs. Each, 
$5. Smaller, 2 year old bulbs, each, $3. 
LILIUM x MARHAN. A fine hybrid resulting from cross¬ 
ing L. martagon album and L. Plansonii. Lias the habit 
and form of L. Hansonii, with its characteristic thick 
petals. The color is a clear rich orange with reddish- 
brown spots, darker than L. Plansonii. An exceptionally 
vigorous lily thriving in almost any soil. Height, 5 to 7 
feet. June-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 8 inches deep 
in any well-drained garden soil with leaf mold. Best in 
partial shade. Extra-selected bulbs. Each, $3.50.

bulbs. Each, $5. 
LILIUM x MARHAN (var. “G. F. Wilson”). A very 
scarce and lovely form. Very large flowers, pale citron- 
yellow tinged with carmine at the tips of the petals and 
spotted with purple. Extra-selected bulbs. Each, $5. 
LILIUM x MAXWILL. A new hybrid, from a cross be¬ 
tween L. Leichtlinii (var. Maximowczii x L. Willmot¬ 
tiee”). In its general habit and pyramidal inflorescence 
this hybrid is similar to L. Willmottiee, but the blooms are 
lighter in color, the stamens are longer and the anthers 
are orange-red. The spike is tall and very strong, but grace¬ 
fully slender, bearing as many as thirty or more large re¬ 
curving flowers. Height, 6 to 7 feet. Comes into flower 
in late July.

over. Free-flowering and remarkably free from the ordi¬ 
nary lily diseases. Of easiest culture. Stem-rooting. Plant
