tive yellow flowers. Plant 4 to 6 inches deep. Not fastidious

AURANTIACUM (Europe) The Irish Orangeman’s Lily, commonly 
called L. croceum, is distinct and charming, with upright blooms 
of clear brilliant orange flecked with purple. The blooms are 
smaller than those of L. umbellatum, have more pointed petals, 
and flower slightly later. It is a most attractive garden lily 
and prefers a heavy soil. July flowering. Height 3 to 4 feet. 
Plant 5 to 7 inches deep.

fragant open-trumpet shaped flowers frequently as large as a 
dinner plate. They are white with a gold band down the center 
of each petal and the entire flower is flecked with crimson. Mid 
August to September is the blossoming time and they grow 
from 4 to 6 feet or taller. Plant 8 to 12 inches deep.

SELECTED SEEDLINGS2 A magnificent group, distinct from 
the ordinary L. auratum in that each stem is notable for its 
size, shape or coloring. Each $2.25 
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 $22.00 
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 
1 Flowering dates given for all lilies are for central New England. 
The periods will naturally vary in other climates.
