STAR OF OREGON On a long pyramidal spike this fine hy- 
brid carries up to 20 flowers which are orange suffused 
with red and thickly spotted purplish black. A tall lily, it 
grows from 6 to 7 feet. Plant 6 to 8 inches. Good drainage 
is essential. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
DAVIDIT MACRANTHUM This is a very satisfactory and attractive 
small Tiger lily that merits a place in any garden. The flowers 
are nodding with reflexed petals which are cinnabar red with 
black spots. It follows L. Willmottiae into bloom, enjoys sun- 
shine and will grow in any loam. 
Each 30c Dozen $3.00 Hundred $23.00 
DAVIDII var. ORIOLE A new pale orange form developed by Miss 
Preston. A lovely thing, first shown before the Royal Horticul- 
tural Society in 1937. Bulbs are rare and stock is limited. 
Each $2.50 
DAVMOTTIAE We are again indebted to Miss Preston for a mag- 
nificent hybrid. Mature bulbs send up very tall stems and have 
been known to carry as many as 50 flowers. The color is soft 
orange-red and the flowers are borne at right angles to the stem. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 5 to 6 feet, occasionally taller. 
Each 60c Dozen $6.00 
MAXWILL This is generally considered the finest colored hybrid 
of recent introduction. It is a vigorous and disease proof variety 
that establishes easily and grows prolifically. The 5 to 6 foot 
stem is luxuriantly leaved. The greatly recurved flowers hang 
from a pyramidal raceme and are, in color, a brilliant orange- 
red with black spots and long brick-red stamens. Plant 8 inches 
deep. This is a “corking” lily and we are fortunate to have a 
few selected bulbs from England. Each 50c Dozen $5.00 
WILLCROVIDII One of Mr. Stooke’s most magnificent hybrids. The 
plant grows to 7 feet tall and bears a pyramid of luminous 
flame-colored outward-facing flowers. The plant starts to bloom 
as L. Fire King is at its peak and continues in excellent form 
for several weeks. The stems are weak and will need staking 
although it might be planted through low shrubbery that will 
give it the support it needs. Each $4.00 
WILLCROVIDII HYBRIDS A group of hybrids grown from the seed 
of the above. A variable and satisfactory group of plants that 
we have no hesitation in recommending. 
Each 75c Dozen $7.50
