BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS A group raised by the late Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse and a priceless addition to the garden. The individ- 
ual blooms though not large are charming and are Martagon 
shaped, growing on a long spike. They are difficult to classify 
as to color for, actually, they are variable and iridescent, rang- 
ing from pale ivory through the golds, pink, mauve, apricot, 
orange—all variously flushed and marked. An excellent group 
for the garden as they are not particular as to soil or location, 
establish well and are quite immune to mosaic. Height 5 to 6 
feet. Plant about 6 inches. Late June to early July flowering. 
Un-named seedlings. Each $2.00 Dozen $20.00 
BROCADE One of the finest of the named hybrids. The flow- 
ers are orange-yellow with pink marbling and maroon 
spots. A free-flowering lily and a vigorous grower. We are 
indeed fortunate to be able to list it. Each $3.00 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE This is one of the most attractive 
and probably the most vigorous of the entire group. There 
are a great many beautifully colored Martagon-shaped 
blooms to a stalk. The interior of the petals is ivory over- 
laid with a transparent flush of gold and delicately flecked 
with reddish-purple. The reverse of the petals is a deeper 
yellow shaded with greenish-orange though the reverse 
does not show when the blooms are expanded. Plant 6 to 8 
inches. Each $3.00 
SCEPTRE One of the loveliest of this group. The blooms are 
considerably larger than either of the two listed above. 
The color is deep rose pink over an ivory base. As the plant 
matures the color fades to a golden ivory flecked with pur- 
ple. This is a vigorous plant and frequently reaches 6 feet 
when established. Each $4.00 
SUTTON COURT Similar to Mrs. R. O. Backhouse in form 
but of a deeper tone. Pale, glittering, canary yellow. 
Stock very limited. Each $5.00 
Note: See Martagon-Hansonii hybrids. 
BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS A fine group of hybrids developed by the 
late Dr. David Griffiths. The parentage is largely L. pardalinum, 
L. Parryi, and L. Humboldtii var. magnificum. They are hand- 
some, brilliantly colored plants, ranging from orange-yellow 
to orange-red, heavily spotted in black and Martagon in form. 
Mid-July. 5 to 7 feet. Plant 6 inches. Un-named seedlings. 
Each 60c Dozen $6.00 
SHUKSAN One of the finest hybrids of American origin. On 
the tall wiry stems are tiers of gleaming jewel-like flowers 
of warm yellow, richly spotted reddish brown. In color and 
in pattern the surface might be compared to a leopard’s 
skin. Vigorous and hardy and of easy culture—it should not 
be omitted from any planting. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. 
Each $1.00 Dozen $10.09
