ELEGANS var. ALICE WILSON (Japan) The true Alice Wilson is 
So rare as to be considered practically non-existent. One finds 
the name frequently in catalogues and the bulbs are offered at 
reasonable prices but another lily is generally used. We are 
promised a few bulbs of what is considered the true form. As 
it grew for us it was about eight inches tall with wide-open 
pale but warm yellow flowers lightly spotted black. The indi- 
vidual blooms were almost as large as good L. auratum and had 
the same wavy petals. Each $3.00 
MONADELPHUM SZOVITZIANUM (Caucasus) A very beautiful 
lily with pale straw yellow flowers usually spotted purplish 
black. Fragrant and hardy—it establishes well and should in- 
crease in beauty with each passing year, but do not expect more 
than top-growth the first season. Plant 5 inches. Height 4 to 5 
feet. Fall delivery only. Each $1.50 
PYRENAICUM (Pyrenees) The gay yellow Turk’s Cap is one of 
the earliest to flower and will grow in almost any soil but pre- 
fers a heavy loam. The flowers are rich yellow spotted black 
and the scent is heavy. Fall delivery only. 
Each 45c Dozen $4.50 
TENUIFOLIUM var. GOLDEN GLEAM We are reluctant to classi- 
fy this as a yellow lily as it is really a rich glittering orange- 
yellow form of the well known L. tenuifolium. It is a splendid 
garden lily. Plant 4 to 6 inches. Each 20c Dozen $2.00 
RED AND ORANGE LILIES 
CARNIOLICUM (Europe) A variety rarely seen in cultivation. It 
is a true Turk’s Cap lily with stems 2 to 4 feet high. It carries 
few flowers, two to three as a rule, nodding and of an orange- 
red shade. Does well in good sandy loam and a sunny position. 
Small bulbs. Each 75c Dozen $7.50 
CONCOLOR (Korea) This lily is frequently compared to L. tenui- 
folium though the resemblance is actually very slight. In L. 
concolor the blooms are upright rather than pendant, are wide- 
open and delicately star-shaped rather than recurved, and they 
are a deeper tone of scarlet. The plant itself is somewhat taller, 
with broader slightly hairy leaves and stem. It flowers a few 
weeks later than L. tenuifolium and is a most charming lily, one 
of our favorites. Plant 4 to 6 inches. Each 25c Dozen $2.50 
DAURICUM (N. E. Asia) The true species is now rarely seen in 
gardens, forms of L. Umbellatum being frequently substituted. 
The typical plant is of more slender growth than L. Umbella- 
tum. The flowers in shape are not unlike L. Croceum and are of 
an orange shade flushed red with claret-colored spots. lt is not 
particular as to soil but needs drainage and a sunny position. 
An excellent lily for a splash of color in the early border. Plant 
5 inches. Each 20c Dozen $2.00 
POMPONIUM (Maritime Alps) The true L. Pomponium is now 
rather scarce. Its brilliant Turk’s Cap flowers of sealing-wax 
red remind one of the stronger growing L. Chalcedonicum. A 
delightful and elegant lily it will grow in almost any soil but is 
best in a good stiff loam with a little lime worked in. Plant 5 
inches. Height 3 to 4 feet. Each 75c Dozen $7.50
