SCOTTIAE HYBRIDS A group of seedlings of L. Scottiae developed 
by the distinguished English grower, W. A. Constable. They are 
brilliantly colored ranging from soft orange-yellows to vivid 
reds. Most of them are upright or slightly outward facing, and 
all of them are dwarf, rarely growing over 10 inches. 
Each 85c Dozen $8.50 
SENECA A new hybrid by the distinguished American authority, 
Dr. George L. Slate, is a distinct and pleasing lily obtained by 
crossing L. tigrinum with L. Leichtlinii var. Maximowiczii. The 
flowers face outward, have reflexed perianth segments and are 
of a softer and more pleasing color than L. tigrinum. Mature 
plants bear 25 or more flowers, considerably more than L. tigri- 
num and bloom during the last three weeks in August, or two 
to three weeks later than that species. The plants grow to 5 or 
6 feet and have very woolly stems and buds. L. Seneca grows 
well in a lime free sandy loam as well as a heavy clay loam 
containing much lime. The bulbs are small and should be plant- 
ed 5 to 6 inches deep. Each $2.00 Dozen $20.00

SPECIOSUM (Japan) This is one of the most popular of all lilies. 
It comes late in the season, generally starts opening its frilly 
recurved flowers toward the end of August and carries well 
into September. Normally it grows to 4 feet. This season we 
offer the following varieties: 
SPECIOSUM PUNCTATUM _ A fine strong growing variety 
that has for many years been lost to cultivation. It is one 
of the best forms. The leaves are similar to those of aura- 
tum platyphyllum and carried in two ranks from the base 
to the top of the stem. The flowers are beautifully formed, 
white in color suffused with pale pink and dotted with 
rose-pink spots. It flowers two to three weeks earlier than 
the other forms of L. speciosum and for this reason can be 
grown in the far north where early frosts nip the late 
forms. Height 4 to 6 feet. Plant 6 to 8 inches. 
Very limited stock. Each $4.50 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM This is the most widely grown and 
best known variety of L. speciosum. The flowers are white 
flushed and spotted with pink, ranging in shade from rose- 
pink to deepest carmine-pink. A hardy and strong growing 
plant. Supply is limited and bulbs are in great demand. 
Each $1.50, $1.75 Dozen $15.00, $17.50

STOOKE’S HYBRIDS The English specialist, Mr. J. E. H. Stooke, 
has been working for years with L. croceum, Davidi and Will- 
mottiae and has produced a number of plants of splendid gar- 
den value. We imported seven of these hybrids in 1940 and, 
as we have watched them grow and develop, have become most 
enthusiastic about them. A brilliantly colored group, they are 
completely hardy, easy to grow and the kind of plants that es- 
tablish well and quickly.
