Lilium Theodore Havemeyer 
Healthy American Grown 
CAuratum Lilies 
(Gold-Banded Lily) 
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 superior 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 imme- 
diately 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 delicate 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 
Clean bulbs, 6 to 7 inches 
Each 65c, Doz. $6.50 
Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
Lilium Shuksan 
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 vig- 
orous 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. Flowers last a week when cut. 
Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00, 100 $57.50 
Lilium Cheodore A. TFtavemeyer 
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 segments. 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 flow- 
ering bulbs at 
Each $2.50, Three $7.00, Doz. $25.00 
Lilium TFfavemeyer Fk ybrids 
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 limited number of flow- 
ering bulbs about 5 inches in circumference at 
Each 75c, Three $2.15, Doz. $7.50
