PRESTON HYBRIDS A group of splendid hybrids by Miss Isabella 
Preston of the Dominion Experimental Farm at Ottawa, Can- 
ada. Miss Preston has worked with lilies for years and we are 
indebted to her for many fine garden plants. 
 ~CORONATION One of Miss Preston’s most outstanding 
achievements. The plant grows to three feet tall, is upright 
and well leaved and bears up to twenty or more somewhat 
pendant recurved blooms of a clear primuline yellow light- 
ly spotted brown. The exterior of the petals is also a clear 
pale yellow. Like all of Miss Preston’s hybrids this is a 
tested garden subject, of simple culture and vigorous habit. 
The color is completely delightful. By comparison with L. 
Violet M. Constable it is later and lighter in color. Plant 
6 to 8 inches. Stock limited. _ Each $4.00 
SPITFIRE An open pollinated seedling of L. Edna Kean. The 
inflorescence is arranged like a candelabrum. Flowers are 
vase shaped, face upwards. The color is flame scarlet with 
some medium-sized bay spots. Pollen brazil red. Because of 
its distinctive and charming shape and ease of culture this 
is one of Miss Preston’s most valuable contributions to the 
garden. Early July. Height 3 feet. Each $5.00 
STENOGRAPHER SERIES: 
BRENDA WATTS This is one of the very best garden lilies. 
It grows magnificently, establishes readily, and has a 
strong constitution. It is one of those happy garden sub- 
jects that knows its job and proceeds to do it thoroughly. 
Added to this is the bold and brilliant beauty of the plant 
itself — tall and graceful, bearing a long spike of outward- 
facing blooms, soft orange-red in color. For dignity of sta- 
ture and a mass of sheer color in the July garden it is hard 
to surpass. Height 5 feet. Plant 6 to 8 inches. 
Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
EDNA KEAN Resembles L. Brenda Watts except for its color 
which is a deep cherry red, a color almost unique among 
lilies. It does not have quite the magnificent constitution of 
Brenda Watts, but will hold its own in nine garden out of 
ten. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00 
GRACE MARSHALL A fine hybrid with deep red, outward- 
facing, reflexed flowers. The plant grows from 4 to 5 feet, 
is wiry and erect and will carry up to thirty blossoms. 
Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in sun or part shade and in a well 
prepared soil. Each $1.50 Dozen $15.00
