SULPHUREUM (Upper Burma) This dramatic garden plant bears 
fragant trumpets 9 to 11 inches long. The inside of the flower 
is a clear pale, sulphur-yellow with glittering jade-green sta- 
mens and a brown pistil. The exterior is stained claret-red. The 
plant is about 4 feet tall and blossoms in mid to late August. 
The Sulphureum is generally considered only moderately hardy 
but, frankly, ours at SANDYLOAM have wintered without pro- 
tection at minimum temperatures of -30° F. However, as we do 
have a heavy snow blanket from December till April we would 
suggest the use of a mulch in situations where this is not true. 
Do not cultivate your planting of Sulphureums in spring as they 
come up very late — frequently as late as July. These extra- 
selected English bulbs are, by far, the finest we have ever seen. 
Plant 10 to 12 inches. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
Each $2.00 Dozen $20.00 
TIGRINUM The Tiger Lily is so well known that it needs no de- 
scription here. It is a magnificent August flowering lily and 
indispensable for the herbaceous border. It is also excellent in 
clumps against the shrubbery. We are pleased to offer the old 
New England type as it was brought here centuries ago by 
our sea captains. Unlike other commercial bulbs of this splen- 
did lily these are free of mosaic. Each 50¢ Dozen $5.00

L. AURATUM—EARLY AND LATE FLOWERING FORMS We 
have tested both of these before offering them and find that 
the flowering period is a pronounced characteristic. The early 
flowering form starts with us in mid-July and the late flower- 
ing form follows the type by two or three weeks. By using all 
three the gardener can have L. auratum in flower for a per- 
iod of two months or more. 
Early flowering form Each 45c Dozen $4.50 
Late flowering form Each 35c Dozen $3.50 
L. CORONATION is the most recently introduced hybrid of Miss 
Isabella Preston. Likewise it is one of her most outstanding 
achievements. The plant grows to three feet tall, is upright 
and well-leaved and bears up to twenty or more somewhat 
pendant recurved blooms of a clear primuline yellow lightly 
spotted brown. The exterior of the petals is also a clear pale 
yellow. Like all of Miss Preston’s hybrids this is a tested gar- 
den subject, of simple culture and vigorous habit. The color is 
completely delightful. By comparison with Violet M. Constable 
it is later and lighter in color. Stock limited. Each $5.00 
L. DAURICUM PRAECOX A new form of L. dauricum that caused 
considerable attention when it flowered for us this spring. The 
plant is dwarf, growing to but 9 to 12 inches tall and comes into 
flower very early in June. The blooms are a clear pale apricot 
over an ivory base and bear a central stripe of gold. They are 
lightly spotted with reddish brown. The height, the color and 
the flowering period make this a most desirable addition to the 
garden where it may well be used either for sheets of color in 
the foreground of the border or in clumps in the rock garden.
