CROMOTTIAE A magnificent and floriferous hybrid that 
forms a tall pyramidal spike covered with numerous rich 
brown-orange flowers, spotted black. The flowers are borne 
at right angles to the stem and definitely look at you. The 
shape of the individual bloom is somewhat like a small L. 
auratum with the tips of the petals recurved, and the color, 
though brilliant, is soft. This plant has a magnificent con- 
stitution. Height 4 to 6 feet. With us it bloomed just before 
the middle of June. Plant 5 to 6 inches. Each $5.00 
FIRE KING Those who have seen this lily consider it one of 
the most important garden plants to have been introduced 
in many years. It grows to about four feet and develops a 
magnificent spike that bears up to forty vermillion-scarlet 
blooms carried at right angles to the stem. The flowers 
“look at you” and this quality is a distinct break developed 
from crossing and re-crossing pendant or Turk’s cap 
species with upright forms. L. Fire King is easy to grow, 
tends to multiply and is probably the most brilliantly col- 
ored lily in cultivation. A well-grown clump is a mass of 
sheer flame in the garden for from three to four weeks in 
early summer. Plant 5 to 7 inches. Each $2.75, $3.50 
LEMON KING This lily is one of the loveliest introduced in 
many years. The blooms, which come in July, are fragrant, 
a clear lemon yellow, lightly spotted with purplish brown. 
The plant grows much like Fire King, is about three feet 
tall, and carries up to twenty blooms which “look at you.” 
But the combination of color, size and shape of blooms, tu- 
gether with the wiry strength and delicacy of the plant 
give the hybrid a perfection that is completely unique. Like 
a Brahms symphony it has a flawlessness which makes it 
seem inevitable. Each $20.00 
WILLCROVIDII One of Mr. Stooke’s most magnificent hy- 
brids. The plant grows to 7 feet tall and bears a pyramid 
of luminous flame-colored outward-facing flowers. The 
plant starts to bloom as L. Fire King is at its peak and 
continues in excellent form for several weeks. It is so 
floriferous—more so than any other lily in cultivation—that 
staking is recommended to prevent injury in case of high 
winds. Plant 6 to 8 inches. Each $5.00 
SUPERBUM The native American Turk’s cap is a great favorite 
with gardeners and is one of the finest of all lilies. The pendant 
blooms are large and sharply recurved, orange-red in color, 
tipped with deeper red, and heavily spotted with brown. It ad- 
justs well to almost any location, full sun as well as partial 
shade, and is recommended for the border, for inter-planting 
in shrubbery and especially for naturalizing. It can stand more 
moisture than most lilies. The height of the plant varies from 
4 to 8 or 9 feet depending on where it is planted. July flowering. 
Plant 8 to 10 inches. Each 35¢c Dozen $3.50
