SPECIOSUM RUBRUM This is the mostly widely grown and 
best known variety of L. speciosum. The flowers are white 
flushed and spotted with pink, ranging in shade from rose- 
pi to deepest carmine-pink. A hardy and strong growing 
plant. 
Though bulbs are almost unobtainable at present we are 
fortunate to be able to offer American nursery grown stock.

STOOKE’S HYBRIDS The English specialist, Mr. J. E. H. Stooke, 
has been working for years with L. croceum, Davidii and Will- 
mottiae and has produced a number of plants of splendid gar- 
den value. We imported seven of these hybrids in 1940 and, 
as we have watched them grow and develop, have become most 
enthusiastic about them. A brilliantly colored group, they are 
completely hardy, easy to grow and the kind of plants that es- 
tablish well and quickly. 
CROMOTTIAE A magnificent and floriferous hybrid that 
forms a tall pyramidal spike covered with numerous rich 
orange-red flowers, spotted black. The flowers are borne at 
right angles to the stem and definitely look at you. The 
shape of the individual bloom is somewhat like a small L. 
auratum with the tips of the petals recurved, and the color, 
though brilliant, is soft. This plant has a magnificent con- 
stitution. Height 4 to 6 feet. With us it bloomed just before 
the middle of June. Plant 5 to 6 inches. Each $4.00 
FIRE KING Those who have seen this lily consider it one of 
the most important garden plants to have been introduced 
in many years. It grows to about four feet and develops 2 
magnificent spike that bears up to forty vermillion-scarlet 
blooms carried at right angles to the stem. The flowers 
“look at you” and this quality is a distinct break developed 
from crossing and re-crossing pendant or Turk’s cap 
species with upright forms. L. Fire King is easy to grow, 
tends to multiply and is probably the most brilliantly col- 
ored lily in cultivation. A well-grown clump is a mass of 
sheer flame in the garden for from three to four weeks in 
early summer. Each $2.50, $4.00 
LEMON KING This lily which is being offered for the first 
time is probably the loveliest hybrid introduced in many, 
many years. The blooms, which come in July, are fragrant, 
a clear lemon yellow, lightly spotted with purplish brown. 
The plant grows much like Fire King, is about three feet 
tall, and carries up to twenty blooms which “look at you.” 
But the combination of color, size and shape of blooms, to- 
gether with the wiry strength and delicacy of the plant 
give the hybrid a perfection that is completely unique. Like 
a Brahms symphony it has a flawlessness which makes it 
seem inevitable. Each $20.00
