LONGIFLORUM, “The Estate Lily” This is probably the finest 
strain of L. longiflorum ever introduced. It far outstrips all 
other varieties in size, substance of flower, stature and ease of 
culture. Under glass the Estate Lily sends up strong five foot 
stems which carry from three to eight immense white trum- 
pets fully 50% larger than the best imported varieties of L. 
longiflorum. The flowers last longer than those of any other 
variety of this lily. For those with greenhouses there is nothing 
finer to grow for early spring flowering. For outdoor culture it 
is an excellent trumpet lily for early August and hardy in New 
England. Plant 8 inches. 
Each $2.00, $2.25 Dozen $20.00, $22.50 
MARHAN A fine and vigorous hybrid between L. Martagon album 
and L. Hansonii. The lustrous orange of the petals overlaid 
with purple gives the effect of burnished copper. June. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Plant 6 to 7 inches. 
Stock limited. Each $5.00 
MARHAN, ELLEN WILLMOTT This form almost identical with L. 
Marhan in color, flowers somewhat later and is one of the most 
strikingly beautiful lilies in existence. It is a very strong grow- 
er and is excellent when planted with the other lilies of the 
Martagon-Hansonii family. Height 5 to 6 feet. 
Each $3.00, $4.50 
MARHAN, H. J. ELWES A very rare form. The color is that of L. 
Marhan and L. Marhan, Ellen Willmott, the only difference be- 
ing the splash of deep reddish purple on each petal. 
Stock limited. Each $7.50 
MARTAGON Bulbs of these fine European lilies are not available 
this season. We suggest that those gardeners, who had hoped 
to purchase them, try some of the L. Backhouse hybrids, un- 
named seedlings, described earlier in the catalogue. 
MARTAGON ALBUM (Europe) We cannot too strongly urge that 
you plant this as it is one of the loveliest lilies in cultivation. 
It has delicate small Turk’s Cap flowers, pure white and sweetly 
fragrant. It grows to about 4 feet tall and blooms toward the 
middle of June. Try it with peonies or with ferns. Plant 4 to 5 
inches. Does well in heavy soil. 
Stock very limited. Each $2.00 Dozen $20.00 
MARTAGON CATTANIAE Though this magnificent lily is one of 
the oldest in cultivation it is not at all common. It grows from 
5 to 6 feet tall and bears pyramidal racemes of thick petalled 
recurved flowers, so deep a port-wine color as to be almost black. 
The unopened buds are frosted with white. Of excellent habit 
and vigor but capricious in some gardens. 
Stock very limited. Each $4.00 
MARTAGON-HANSONII HYBRIDS These include the Backhouse 
hybrids, L. Dalhansonii, L. Guinea Gold, and the Marhans.
