LILIES FOR LATE JULY 
This list includes some rare beauties. Some are well known, others 
almost completely untried though they hold distinguished reputations. 
If we were limited to a few from this group we should select L. 
Maxwill, probably one of the Princeps or Crow’s Hybrids, and one or 
more of Miss Preston’s or Mr. Stooke’s Hybrids. These are all “good 
doers”. Some of the others are “good doers” too. 
WHITE LILIES 
BAKERIANUM (Burma) A most graceful rare lily with creamy- 
white pendulous bell-shaped flowers richly spotted purple on 
the inside. This lily has been grown in the open in England, on 
our own West Coast, and in some places in the east. Neverthe- 
less until we have given it a generous trial in the open we do 
not feel that we can recommend it as hardy in our northernmost 
states. Plant about four inches deep in rather moist soil in a 
partial shady location. Collected wild bulbs from Burma. 
Each $1.50 
CENTIFOLIUM (China) This glorious variety has always been so 
rare as to be almost mythical and, consequently, until the last 
few years bulbs have commanded fabulous prices. It is a very 
tall (5 to 10 feet) mid-season variety. The fragrant trumpets 
are immensely large, white with a flash of yellow in the throat 
and the outside is stained with rose purple. Even in war-torn 
England bulbs are in such demand that our small allotment was 
considered a very real concession. Plant 8 to 10 inches. 
Small bulbs that may flower the first season. 
Each $1.00 Dozen $10.00 
Medium bulbs. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
Large bulbs. Each $2.00 Dozen $20.00 
CREELMANI X CROW’S A new hybrid between the famous G. C. 
Creelman and a selected form of Crow’s Hybrids. It is, at pres- 
ent, on trial in our own planting and gives promise of being a 
fine plant. The originator’s description: “We consider this 
group of hybrids to be the finest of the whole of the Regale 
section. The blooms are larger than anything previously of- 
fered. The stems are stouter and taller, the plant itself is per- 
fectly hardy. The best qualities of both parents appear in the 
offspring and we can confidently recommend this group to 
everyone desirous of a tall, late, white lily. When grown out- 
side it may reach 10 feet in height. As robust as L. Regale and 
requires no exceptional culture.” August blooming, plant 8 to 
10 inches deep. First time offered. Each $1.25 Dozen $12.50 
CROW’S HYBRIDS A vigorous group of hybrids that carry the 
great white-trumpet flowered group well into the late sum- 
mer blossoming from 2 to 3 weeks after the well known Regale. 
The flowers are generally white or ivory with green or golden 
throats and the outside of the petals is variably stained from 
green to bronze. By comparison with Regale its maternal grand- 
parent the plant is taller and more vigorous with much larger 
flowers of better color and texture. The Crow’s Hybrids estab- 
lish quickly and easily in the garden growing almost as prolifi- 
cally as the common Tiger. Plant 6 to 8 inches.
