Lilium Theodore Havemeyer 
Healthy American-Grown 
AURATUM LILIES 
We take pleasure in offering a fine healthy lot of 
American-grown bulbs from seed. The bulbs we offer 
have bloomed in the nursery and are definitely supe- 
rior to the imported stock. While the bulbs are not 
as large, they produce an unusual amount of giant 
flowers and the plants are healthy and vigorous. We 
supply them with their roots intact. They continue 
making roots immediately after planting. The bulbs 
are sent to you in late September until the end of 
November, but cannot be furnished at any other time. 
*Auratum (Gold-Banded Lily) 
Undoubtedly one of the finest. Its large, graceful, 
fragrant flowers are composed of 6 petals of a deli- 
cate ivory-white color, thickly studded with chocolate- 
crimson spots and striped through the center a golden 
yellow. 3 to 5 feet. July to September. 
Clean bulbs, 5 to 6 inches Each $0.60, Doz. $6.00 
Clean bulbs, 6 to 7 inches Each $0.70, Doz. $7.00 
Clean bulbs, 7 to 8 inches Each $0.80, Doz. $8.00 
Lilium Shiksan 
A new Hybrid Lily with a great future. Also a fine bill 
of health. Through careful cultivation a very high state 
of health has been maintained and we have never seen 
any bulbs infected with mosaic; that fatal disease some 
Lilies are subject to. Shuksan is a very vigorous grower, 
5 to 6 feet tall and produces its flowers in open heads, 
15 to 25 flowers on one plant is not unusual. The color 
is a soft buff-yellow broken by large quite widely spaced 
soft brown spots. At opening, the flowers are starlike. 
The petals reflex and roll back when in full bloom. Flow- 
ers last a week when cut. 
Each $1.35, Doz. $13.50

Silium Sheodore A. Hfavemeyer 
A magnificent new Lily which resulted from a cross between Lilium 
Sulphureum and Lilium Henryi. The plant resembles Lilium Henryi_ in 
growth and vigor as well as freedom from disease. It has received highest 
honors wherever exhibited. The Royal Horticultural Society of England gave 
it the coveted ‘’Award of Merit.’’ A special gold medal was awarded to a 
display of this variety in the Gardens on Parade at the New York World’s 
Fair. The flowers are a tender shade of buff or creamy old ivory with 
three or four buff longitudinal lines, and marked with rosy amber on the 
basal half of the segment. This lovely shading is enhanced by attractive 
brown anthers. The plant resembles the vigorous growing Lilium Henryi in 
habit as well as ease of culture. The flowers are Auratum shaped, of fine 
size, broad and spreading. Begins to bloom the end of July, and blooms 
over a very long period. 
Only a limited number of bulbs are available yet! We offer strong 
flowering bulbs at 
$2.50 each 
Silium Htavemeyer Hybrids 
These beautiful Hybrids are raised from seed taken from Lilium Theo- 
dore Havemeyer. They closely resemble the parent variety but vary slightly 
in color and form, and cannot be sold as the true Havemeyer Lily. We, 
therefore, offer them as Havemeyer Hybrids. A group of six or more of 
them in the border will provide many lovely flowers in delicate tints of 
ivory, pale yellow, and light buff. They grow freely and can be easily 
increased by seeding. This is the first time these magnificent Lilies are 
offered, and we predict they will be as important as the Regal Lilies in 
the very near future. We offer for this spring a.limted number of -flow- 
ering bulbs about 5 inches in circumference at 
75c each $7.50 dozen 
$25.00 dozen
