MARTAGON CATTANIAE Though this magnificent lily is one of 
the oldest in cultivation it is not at all common. It grows from 
5 to 6 feet tall and bears pyramidal racemes of thick petalled 
recurved flowers, so deep a port-wine color as to be almost black. 
The unopened buds are frosted with white. Of excellent habit 
and vigor but it will take a year to get established. 
Fall delivery only. Each $2.50 
TESTACEUM (Hybrid) The beautiful Nankeen Lily is one of the 
choicest and most beautiful plants for the garden. Similar in 
growth to L. Candidum but it bears heads of fragrant broad, 
recurved flowers of nankeen yellow, delicately flushed with pal- 
est pink. Unlike L. Candidum the flowers form an open cluster 
at the very top of the stem and are pendulous. It is not partic- 
ular as to soil, a good loam is most satisfactory and a little 
lime is beneficial. Bulbs should be planted shallow (4 inches) 
and early. Best grown in full sun, it also does well in partial 
shade but is more liable to injury from Botrytis in the latter 
situation. As the color is so delicate it requires careful placing. 
As companions, pale blue delphinium, the deep purple of L. 
Martagon Cattaniae, or a background of shrubbery have all 
been suggested. There have never been enough bulbs of this 
variety to meet the demand. Fall delivery only. 
Each $1.50 and $2.00 
Dozen $15.00 and $20.00 
ORANGE, RED AND DARK RED LILIES 
BURBANKII A hybrid between L. Parryi and L. Pardalinum. Sturdy 
stems carry from 20 to 30 large flowers similar in color to L. 
Pardalinum but more nearly the shape of L. Parryi. Height 5 
to 8 feet. Plant 5 inches. Each $1.00 Dozen $10.00 
CHALCEDONICUM (Greece) Commonly known as “The Old Scar- 
let Martagon” this gorgeous waxy, scarlet Turk’s Cap lily 
should be in ali collections. It needs to be established but there 
is nothing in the garden that can compare with it for brilliance. 
Plant 4 inches deep in a sunny position. It is not particular as 
to soil but does well in clay, and lime is beneficial. 
Fall delivery only. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
CHALCEDONICUM var. MACULATUM A rare, broad petalled va- 
riety developed by Constable and first shown in 1930. When es- 
tablished it will attain a height of 4 to 5 feet and bear rich scar- 
let flowers spotted with black at the base. It is the finest form 
of Chalcedonicum and a well grown clump, even in a garden of 
rarities, cannot fail to arrest attention. Very scarce. 
Each $2.50 
DAURICUM var. WILSONI A dwarf growing variety, soft orange, 
flushed gold and spotted with brown. The flowers are larger and 
more widely expanded than in the type L. Dauricum. 
Each 35c Dozen $3.00 
GRAYI (N. Carolina) This is one of our most delightful and indi- 
vidual native plants. It grows to four feet tall and bears ra- 
cemes of brilliant scarlet thimble-shaped blooms. It is at its 
best in a rather moist location in partial shade. Plant 6 inches 
deep. Each 50¢ Dozen $5.00
