LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Longiflorum Praecox White Queen. An excellent cut flower strain which is 
rapidly replacing older forms for this use. Due to its unevenness of flower¬ 
ing time, flowers may be cut over a considerable period. The large white 
trumpets are typical of L. Longiflorum varieties, while in height and ease 
of growth it is similar to var. Formosum. Can also be grown outdoors, 
except in extreme climates, where it blooms in July. Same culture as other 
Longiflorum varieties. Flowering bulbs, 30c each. S3.00 dozen. Large bulbs, 
50c each, S5.00 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Lyla McCann (Hybrid). This lily is of the same parentage as L. Lillian 
Cummings and the flowers are held in a similar manner, more horizontally 
than in L. Willmottiae, one of the parent plants. The color is a brilliant 
golden orange, lightly spotted, and the plant reaches a height of three to 
four feet. Received an R.H.S. award of merit at the Chelsea Show in 1937. 
Plant in sun or partial shade six to eight inches deep. July flowering. 
Strong bulbs, $5.00 each, $50.00 dozen. October-November delivery.

quires a year to establish itself. Height 3 to 5 feet. June to July flowering.
