LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 


L. Duchartrei var. Farreri (China). Although introduced as early as 1915 by 
L. 
Reginald Farrer this lily has never been common in cultivation due no 
doubt to the scarcity of home grown stock. It is often referred to as the 
“Marble Martagon” which is a fitting description for its lovely pure white 
recurved flowers, suffused externally with green—and spotted with purple 
toward the base of the petals. The blossoms are two to three inches across 
and are carried on 22 foot stems which have the habit of wandering about 
underground from one to several feet before emerging. Numerous stem 
bulblets are produced on this underground stem resulting in the formation 
of large colonies over a period of time. Of easier culture than the type 
Duchartrei if grown in partial shade and a cool well drained soil. Plant 
4 inches deep. June-July flowering. Bulbs of this lily are never large. 
Flowering size $2.00 each. October-November delivery. 

L. ELEGANS ALICE WILSON (LEFT) AND ATROPURPUREUM (RIGHT) 
Elegans (syn. Thunbergianum). This group of dwarf, early flowering lilies are of 
Japanese origin, all having large upright, cup-shaped flowers, borne two to 
four on a stem. These varieties are all adapted to rockery and border use 
and for bedding out. Easily grown in pots and excellent for cutting. Plant 
5 to 6 inches deep in sun or partial shade and a well drained location. 
September-November delivery. 
Elegans Alice Wilson. A fine light apricot form which is easily one of the 
best. Extra large flowers of great substance. Height, 12 to 15 inches. 
Blooming period, June to July. 40c each, $4.00 dozen, $32.00 per 100. 
Elegans Atrosanguineum. A dark blood red form spotted black. Flowers 
slightly smaller than L. Elegans Alice Wilson but very striking. Height 15 
to 18 inches. Blooming period, June to July. 35c each, $3.50 dozen. 
Elegans Atropurpureum (Chikusa). A new form we have recently received 
from Japan. A deep red shaded crimson but not quite as dark as L. Elegans 
Atrosanguineum. A large flowered type, excellent for bedding. Height, 12 
to 15 inches. Blooming period, June. 35¢ each, $3.50 dozen, $26.00 per 100.
