L. PHILADELPHICUM 
L. Phyllis Cox (Hybrid). One of the most brilliantly colored of the new hybrid 
lilies produced by Miss Isabella Preston at the Ottawa, Canada, Experimental 
Farm. Of the same parentage as L. Lillian Cummings (L. Willmottiae x 
L. Dauricum). The flowers are a brilliant orange red deepening toward the 
tips while the exterior of the petals is golden orange. Extremely vigorous, 
producing large heads of recurved flowers on 3 to 4 foot stems. Plant in full 
sun or part shade and 6 to 8 inches deep. Strong flowering bulbs, $3.00 
each, $30.00 dozen. Stock limited. October-November delivery. 
L. Pomponium (Maritime Alps). Closely allied to L. Chalcedonicum but an earlier 
bloomer, this lily produces Martagon type flowers of a brilliant sealing wax 
red on stems two to three feet tall. Quite easily grown if given a well 
drained sunny location. Will do well in rather heavy, calceolarious soil. 
Plant 5 inches deep. June flowering. Selected bulbs $1.00 each, $10.00 doz. 
September-November delivery. 
L. Princeps G. C. Creelman (Hybrid). This is undoubtedly one of the finest of 
the Regale x Sargentiae hybrids now in commerce. The plant produces 
extraordinary heads of trumpet shaped flowers in late July, somewhat after 
L. Regale has finished blooming. The flowers, of great substance, are white 
with lemon yellow center shaded brownish lavender on the exterior. When 
well established will grow from 6 to 8 feet tall and carry as many as 30 
trumpets. Plant 8 inches deep in sun or partial shade. Stock limited. Se- 
lected flowering bulbs, $2.00 each. Large bulbs, $3.50 each. October- 
December delivery. 
Seedlings of L. Princeps G. C. Creelman. We offer for this season flowering stock 
of these seedlings which are all handsome trumpet lilies similar to the true 
Creelman lily but which vary in blooming period from early July to mid- 
August. Highly recommended for an extended flowering season. Choice 
bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen. October-December delivery.
