LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENH OURS 


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, 30¢ each, $3.00 dozen. Large bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. October-December delivery. 

L. MARTAGON VAR. ALBUM 
As reprinted in ‘Lilies for American Gardens’’—By George L. Slate. 
L. Longiflorum Snow Drift. An excellent newly introduced strain from Mr. A. T. 
Jeremy, Castle Hail, New South Wales, Australia. We quote the originators 
description as follows: ‘L. Longiflorum ‘Snow Drift’ is most floriferous, 
individual blooms measuring to 7 inches across. The throat is much shorter 
than in any other variety. Designating that part of the bloom from base to 
point where petals cross as the throat, this latter is about one inch shorter 
than the diameter across the flare. Petals are wide and round with well 
defined rib ridges. The extreme types have quite a suggestion of L. Aura- 
tum. Perfume of main parent stock has touch of magnolia scent. Height, 
from 4 to over 6 feet.” 
Seed only available at present. (See Seed List, Page 66). 
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
