GREEN MOUNTAIN HYBRIDS In the fall of 1942 Sandyloam was 
exceedingly fortunate in purchasing what was probably the 
finest private collection of trumpet hybrid lilies in the United 
States. These hybrids, though tested in the garden of the hy- 
bridizer for years, had not previously been available to garden- 
ers. They were produced by the late Dr. L. Horsford Abel, 
and are the result of crossing and recrossing the finest of the 
following trumpet lilies: L. princeps George C. Creelman, L. 
princeps Shelburne hybrid, L. Crow’s hybrids, and L. centifoli- 
um. 
The buds range from greenish sulphur through bronze 
green and pink. Some of the flowers are long and tubular, 
while others are short and wide open. The interiors are pure 
white or cream, with yellow, pale orange, dark orange, or green- 
ish throats. The anthers range from yellow, brown to dark 
brown. One of the outstanding characteristics of the group is 
that unlike most forms of L. regale the blooms are scattered 
along the stem at intervals and open gradually over a period of 
time, thus being in bloom from three to four weeks in mid- 
summer. The plants range in height from 3% to 6 feet. Plant 
8 to 10 inches deep. Each 75c, $1.00 Dozen $7.50, $10.00 
GUINEA GOLD A Martagon-Hansonii hybrid that inherits the splen- 
did constitution of both parents. Pink buds make a fine con- 
trast with the open flowers which are yellow, thickly spotted 
with brown. Holds its color best in light shade. June flowering. 
Height 5 feet. Plant 6-7 inches deep. Flowering bulbs. 
Each $5.00 
HANSONII (Korea) This is considered one of the best garden lilies 
because of its charm and ease of culture. Its Martagon-shaped 
blossoms are a rich cadmium yellow, spotted purplish-brown. It 
comes early — late June — and grows from 4 to 6 feet tall. It 
will hold its lovely color best if planted 8 to 10 inches deep in 
partial shade. 
Each 75c Dozen $7.50 
HENRYI (China) This is another vigorous and dependable lily. It 
comes into blossom just before the speciosums in mid to late 
August and carries as many as twenty flowers on 5 to 8 foot 
stems. The flowers though not as large as the speciosums are 
the same frilly recurved shape and are a soft orange-yellow 
with brown spots. The foliage is excellent but the plant is apt 
to require staking. Plant 9 to 10 inches deep. 
Each 75c Dozen $7.50 
HENRYI CITRINUM This rare lily is exactly like the type except 
for color which is a vivid clear lemon yellow. A magnificent 
plant, but stocks are exceedingly shy. Each $10.00 
HENRYI IMPROVED A new form of L. Henryi with a stiff erect 
stem quite unlike the too limber stem of the type. This addi- 
tion of a good stem is a real and distinct improvement in this 
always popular lily. Each $5.00 
atk gel.
