CHALCEDONICUM (Greece) Commonly known as “The Old Scar- 
let Martagon” this is a gorgeous waxy, scarlet Turk’s cap lily. 
There is nothing that can compare with it for brilliance; but 
this is one of the most difficult lilies to grow in the United 
States. Plant 4 inches deep in a sunny position. It likes a clay 
soil, and lime is beneficial. July flowering. 
Not available this season. 
COLUMBIANUM var. INGRAMII This variety of the widely distrib- 
uted West Coast L. columbianum comes from southern Oregon. 
It resembles L. Humboldtii but is smaller. The bright golden- 
orange flowers spotted with purple are Martagon in form. 
Height from 3 to 4 feet. June-July. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in 
partial shade. Each 75c Dozen $8.00 
CONCOLOR (Korea) This lily is frequently compared to L. tenui- 
folium though the resemblance is actually very slight. In L. 
concolor the blooms are upright rather than pendant, are wide- 
open and delicately star-shaped rather than recurved, and they 
are a deeper tone of scarlet. The plant itself is somewhat taller, 
with broader slightly hairy leaves and stem. It flowers a few 
weeks later than L. tenuifolium and is a most charming lily, one 
of our favorites. Plant 4 to 6 inches. Each 40c Dozen $4.25

CROCEUM See L. aurantiacum. 
CROW’S HYBRIDS A vigorous group of hybrids that carry the 
great white-trumpet flowered group well into the late sum- 
mer, blossoming about 10 days after the well known regale. The 
flowers are generally white or ivory with green or golden 
throats and the outside of the petals is variably stained from 
green to bronze. By comparison with regale its maternal grand- 
parent the plant is taller and more vigorous with much larger 
flowers of better color and texture. Plant 6 to 8 inches. 
Strong flowering bulbs. Each $1.25 Dozen $13.50 
DALHANSONII A very handsome lily and one of the finest hybrids 
we have. The color is rare, a glossy purple brown that takes on 
a deep mahogany red with the sun shining through it. Plant 8 
inches deep in full sun or partial shade. Each $3.50 
DAURICUM (N. E. Asia) The true species is now rarely seen in 
gardens, forms of L. umbellatum being frequently substituted. 
The typical plant is of more slender growth than L. umbella- 
tum. The flowers are of an orange shade flushed red with claret- 
colored spots. It is not particular as to soil but needs drainage 
and a sunny position. An excellent lily for a splash of color in 
the early border. June. 3 feet. Plant 5 inches. 
Each 40c Dozen $4.50 
DAURICUM var. PARDINUM The finest of all late flowering forms 
of L. dauricum. Large erect flowers of rich orange red flushed 
with soft yellow and apricot, profusely spotted with brown. 
The stem is tall and sturdy and covered with deep shiny green 
leaves to the very base. This would be a lovely lily if it bloomed 
at any time but it comes into flower in early August, when the 
border needs added color, and this makes it doubly welcome. 
Height 4 feet. Plant 6 to 8 inches. Each 60c Dozen $6.50
