L. CANDIDUM—For many years we have been working towards a new 
Candidum lily that would reproduce freely from seed and yet would have the 
size of the very best Northern French and British stocks. From all over 
Europe we collected the very best strains, from a French priest we obtained 
seed of some very unusual types and after selecting the best plants we found 
that by careful hand pollination we could overcome the usual sterility of these 
lilies. The result was a strain of Candidums with unusually tall stems, large, 
well reflexed flowers and great resistance to Botrytis. Since this is a seedling 
strain there will be some variation in length of stem, inflorescence and time of 
flowering. We offer now for the first time a very limited quantity of these 
bulbs and are retaining the main stocks for further propagation. ........ Each

L. CONCOLOR— Upright, deep scarlet flowers borne on a thin, wiry stem. In 
our opinion a magnificent cut flower that once it becomes freely available will 
be largely used by florists and decorators. As with all our other lilies our 
stocks of Concolor are raised in isolation and are disease free.............. 30.00 
L. CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS—Our stock of these magnificent lilies is 
grown from specially selected stock plants of the true Centifolium, crossed by 
hand with pollen from Leucanthum, L x Creelman, etc., etc. The resulting 
plants have been carefully rogued and from year to year successive crosses 
are being made from the very best plants only. Our strain is extremely tall, 
averaging well over six feet. The fragrant trumpets are very large, widely 
flaring and vary in color from icy white to a warm cream color. Some have 
green throats, others yellow and still others are pure white. The reverse side 
of the petals is sometimes pink, light brown, white or greenish white. These 
variations make this strain extremely attractive for garden decoration as no 
two lilies will be exactly the same. While we have selected a few bulbs for 
propagation as clones we feel that for garden purposes our strain, which by 
now is extremely fine, is to be preferred as the slight differences in flowering 
period and habit will make this lily all the more appealing to amateur gardeners.

L. FORMOSANU M—Otur stock of this magnificent lily is the result of some 
ten years of selection. Seed has only been taken from the tallest and best plants, 
most of which were hand pollinated. The strain we offer is now pretty well 
fixed in its characteristics. The plants are uniformly tall, the flowers are 
extremely large and of unusual substance. Flowering season is late September 
and October. Our strain is entirely different from any other Formosanum 
lilies offered in the trade and we recommend this lily highly. October delivery 20.00 
L. GREEN MOUNTAIN HYBRIDS—We were fortunate enough several 
years ago to be able to purchase from the collection of Dr. L. Horsford Abel 
seed from his very best trumpet lilies, such as L. princeps George C. Creelman, 
L. princeps Shelburne hybrid, L. Crow’s hybrids and L. centifolium. When 
this seed flowered we reselected the best plants and raised our second genera- 
tion of seedlings, which are most impressive......-- +--+ esses eee ee eee 40.00
