LILIUM x PRINCEPS (var. “George C. Creelman”). 
One of the outstanding introductions of recent years. 
The true Creelman lily. Beautiful, permanent, prolific, 
hardy, dependable, easy to grow. Award of Merit, Royal 
Horticultural Society, 1934. This lily is not to be con¬ 
fused with “seedlings” of the lily, sometimes offered as 
Lilium Creelman. “Creelman” is beautiful in form and 
color, and artistic, while sturdy, virile, permanent, de¬ 
pendable and disease resistant. The long-lasting flowers, 
which are very large, often measuring 8 inches in length, 
carried in large numbers on strong, long stems, with 
fine foliage, resemble a Regal lily of the best and truest 
type, with the bronzy tones more pronounced and a more 
intense yellow in the throat. It blooms two weeks after 
the Regal lily, many flowers opening at one time. We 
have counted thirty-five perfect flowers and buds on a 
6-fool spike. Very strong and vigorous grower, the en¬ 
tire plant has an appearance of well-being. We have 
found this lily to be entirely free from ordinary diseases 
to which so many other lilies are subject. Easiest of cul¬ 
ture and one of the hardiest. Stem-rooting. Plant 10 
inches deep. Extra heavy, specimen bulbs, limited 
stock, each, $5.00; $45.00 for 10. Selected, strong, flow¬ 
ering bulbs, each, $3.00; $27.50 for 10. Smaller, 2-year- 
old bidbs, each, 1.50; $12.50 for 10. 
LILIUM x PRINCEPS (var. “Paradou”). Possibly the 
finest of the Princeps hybrids. It is best described as be¬ 
ing similar to L. Regale, with a wide open flower, pure 
white inside with yellow throat markings; the outside is 
white, flushed pink. The very prominent golden yellow 
anthers create a most beautiful color picture. A strong 
and vigorous grower, carrying many flowers on a 5-foot 
stem. Late July flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 8 inches 
deep in any good garden soil mixed with leaf mold and 
sand. Will do well in either full sun or partial shade. 
Extra selected bulbs, each, $7.50. Smaller, but strong, 
flowering bulbs, each, $5.00. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, 
each, $3.00. 
LILIUM x QUEEN CHARLOTTE. A hybrid from L. 
Davidi. In form and growth and color very similar to 
Lilium x Maxwill. Very strong and robust grower al¬ 
though it flowers slightly later than L. x Maxwill. Many 
lily specialists who had this lily under their observation 
praise it very highly. Stem-rooting. July-flowering. 
Plant 6 inches deep in any good, well drained garden 
soil. Partial shade is of great benefit. Extra selected 
bulbs, each, $3.00. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, 
$ 2 . 00 . 
LILIUM x SCOTTI/E. An interesting new hybrid, being 
a cross between L. Willmottice x L. Thunbergianum, 
Mahogany. Sturdy and erect in habit and growth with 
dark, glossy foliage, it bears in a rather close raceme up 
to ten to twelve semi-pendulous, recurving flowers about 
4 inches across. Of deep orange-red, shading to orange 
and thinly spotted with brown at the center. Height up 
to 3 feet. July-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 6 inches 
deep in well drained loam and leaf mold. Received 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society of Eng¬ 
land. Considered by experts as one of the best of the 
new hybrid lilies. Extra selected bulbs, each, $5.00. 
Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, each, $3.00. See illustration, 
page 69. 
LILIUM x THEODORE A. HAVEMEYER. A new lily of 
outstanding merit. The result of a cross between Lilium 
Sulphureuin and Lilium Tigrinum. The plant is similar 
to Lilium Henryi in habit and growth. The individual 
florets are large, wide open, of a beautiful deep apricot- 
buff color shading. Bulbils are formed in the leaf axils. 
Begins to bloom about July 25th. Very scarce. Extra 
strong, selected bulbs, each, $25.00. Smaller, but strong, 
flowering bulbs, each, $15.00. Smaller, 2-year-old bulbs, 
each, $10.00. See illustration, page 69. 
LILIUM, BARRY HYBRIDS. The originator of Lilium 
T. A. Havemeyer, Mr. Thomas Barry, has given us the 
privilege of offering some of his seedlings that were 
from the same lot as this famous new lily. They contain 
many interesting types quite similar in color and form. 
A most interesting collection for the lily fancier. Offered 
for the first time. Each, $3.25; $30.00 for 10. 
LILIUM WILLMOTTI/E (var. “Unicolor”; L. Sut- 
chuense). This lily was brought from Mongolia by a 
Catholic priest, who gave a bulb to a Dutch bulb grower 
in 1912. From this particular bulb, the stock is now 
offered for distribution. Botanically, it may be a form of 
L. Davidi or L. Willmottiae, but for all garden purposes 
it is quite distinct. The flowers are of a deeper orange 
than L. Willmottiae with few, if any, spots. It is much 
stiffer in habit and does not have the underground stems 
or stoloniferous habit so frequently associated with L. 
Davidi and L. Willmottiae. The flowers are large and of 
fine form and substance. It is one of the most satis¬ 
factory lilies in cultivation. Magnificent for planting in 
partial shade or the open, porous parts of the woodland. 
July-flowering. Stem-rooting. Plant 6 inches deep in well 
drained, fibrous loam, incorporating a generous portion 
of leaf mold and sharp sand. Extra strong, selected 
bulbs, each, $2.00; $19.00 for 10. Smaller, 2-year-old 
bulbs, each, $1.50; $12.50 for 10. See illustration, page 
69.
