BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS. A group raised by the late Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse and a priceless addition to the garden. The individ- 
ual blooms though not large are charming and are martagon 
shaped, growing on a long spike. They are difficult to classify 
as to color for, actually, they are variable and irridescent, rang- 
ing from pale ivory through the golds, pink, mauve, apricot, 
orange—all variously flushed and marked. An excellent group 
for the garden as they are not particular as to soil or location, 
establish well and are quite immune to mosaic. Height 5 to 6 
feet. Plant about 6 inches. Late June to early July flowering. 
Un-named seedlings. Each $2.00 
BROCADE One of the finest of the named hybrids. The flow- 
ers are orange-yellow with pink marbling and maroon 
spots. A free-flowering lily and a vigorous grower. We are 
indeed fortunate to be able to list it. 
American grown bulbs. Each $2.00 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE This is a lily that has always been 
inaccurately described. There are a great many beautifully 
colored Martagon-shaped blooms to a stalk. The interior of 
the petals is ivory overlaid with a transparent flush of gold 
and delicately flecked with reddish-purple. The reverse of 
the petals is a deeper yellow shaded with greenish-orange 
though the reverse dces not show when the blooms are ex- 
panded. Because the plant is delicate and sparkling it does 
not look well if its neighbors are too brilliantly colored. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches. Each $2.50 
SCEPTRE One of the loveliest of this group. The blooms are 
considerably larger than either of the two listed above. 
The color is deep rose pink over an ivory base. As the plant 
matures the color fades to a golden ivory flecked with pur- 
ple. This is a vigorous plant and frequently reaches 6 feet 
when established. Each $2.50 
BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS The late Dr. David Griffiths of the United 
States Department of Agriculture has left us this group of

The entire group are crosses of L. Humboldtii, Parryi and par- 
dalinum, have sharply recurved blooms of excellent color. Their 
flowering period is in July.
