OTHER NEW LILIES 
LILIUM x DALHANSONI. A remarkably fine hybrid 
resulting from a cross between L. Martagon dalmaticum 
and L. Hansonii. It is very strong growing with long, 
symmetrical spikes of glossy, dark mahogany-brown 
’ flowers, shaded with rich orange and handsomely 
spotted. Very vigorous. Height 4 to 6 feet. June-flower¬ 
ing. Stem-rooting. 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 Willmottiae, and a seedling 
of L. dauricum. Height up to 5 feet. Received Award of 
Merit from the Royal Horticultural 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 becom¬ 
ing 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” 
give this flower a very unusual appearance. June-flow¬ 
ering. Stem-rooting. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Extra 
strong, selected bulbs, each, $5.00. 
LILIUM x HENRYI CITRINUM (var. “John T. Scheep- 
ers”). This variety was exhibited at the 1933 Royal Hor¬ 
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 Par- 
dalinum Roezli. 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, $10.00. Smaller, flowering bulbs, each, 
$7.50. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, $5.00. 
LILIUM x HENRYI CITRINUM (var. “Frederick R. 
Newbold”). Similar in every respect to the above ex¬ 
cept that it is of upright habit. Extra strong, selected 
bulbs, each, $10.00. Smaller, flowering bulbs, each, 
$7.50. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, $5.00. 
LILIUM x LILLIAN CUMMINGS. Very beautiful novelty 
resulting from crossing Lilium Willmottiae with a seed¬ 
ling of L. dauricum. Very strong and vigorous grower, 
reaching a height of 5% 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 flow¬ 
ers are slightly smaller than L. x Grace Marshall and 
there is a distinct division between the segments. Re¬ 
ceived Award of Merit of the Horticultural Society of 
New York, June, 1936. June-flowering. Stem-rooting. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Extra strong, selected bulbs, 
each, $5.00. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, $3.00. 
LILIUM x LYLA McCANN. Another very beautiful 
cross between Lilium Willmottise 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 3Y2 feet. It was principally chosen for its color 
which is a lively orange. Also a very strong and vigor¬ 
ous grower, very florific. June-flowering. Stem-rooting. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Extra strong, selected bulbs, 
each, $5.00. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, $3.00. 
LILIUM x MARHAN. A fine hybrid resulting from cross¬ 
ing L. martagon album and L. Hansonii. Has 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. Hansoni. 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.

ed form of L. x Marhan with very large, richly colored 
flowers and very large, pyramidal inflorescence. Extra 
selected bulbs, each, $5.00. 
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, $5.00. 
LILIUM x MAXWILL. A new hybrid, from a cross be¬ 
tween L. Leichtlini (var. “Maximowczi x Willmottiae.”) 
In its general habit and pyramidal inflorescence this 
hybrid is similar to L. Willmottiae, 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 
gracefully slender, bearing as many as thirty or more 
large recurving flowers. Height 6 to 7 feet. Comes into 
flower in late July. A splendid lily acclaimed by lily 
specialists the world over. Free flowering and remark¬ 
ably free from the ordinary lily diseases. Of easiest 
culture. Stem-rooting. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Awarded 
the Silver Banksian Medal by the Royal Horticultural 
Society, 1933. Extra heavy, specimen bulbs, each, $1.00;
