FIRE KING See Stooke’s hybrids. 
FORMOSANUM (Formosa) This is a splendid, very late trumpet 
lily. It somewhat resembles L. regale but blooms in late Septem- 
ber or even October. The trumpets are longer and somewhat 
more constricted than L. regale. Height 4 to 6 feet. 
Each 45c Dozen $5.00 
FORMOSANUM, INTERMEDIATE FORM These are crosses of L. 
formosanum, Pricei with L. formosanum, and the resultant hy- 
brid selfed or crossed back with Price’s form. They bloom just 
after L. regale and average 30 inches in height. Plant 5 to 6 
inches. Each 60c Dozen $6.50 
FORMOSANUM, PRICEI A dwarf white trumpet lily that starts 
into bloom at the very beginning of August. It rarely grows 
more than a foot high. Each 45c Dozen $5.00 
GIGANTEUM (India) A magnificent lily and the pride of the great 
English estates, but not too easy to handle in most sections of 
this country. The plant has large broad leaves and a great thick 
stem that will grow to from 6 to 12 feet. It bears a spike of 
long, white, sweetly fragrant flowers shaded with purple on the 
exterior. Location and cultural conditions are very exacting. 
This lily must have partial shade and will grow well in almost 
solid shade — an open glade in the woodland is ideal. The soil 
should be high in humus content and abundant moisture is nec- 
essary. If it is not present it must be provided in great quantity 
to bring the plant to flower. The bulb should be planted so that 
its tip is at the surface of the ground. DO NOT BURY IT. 
The bulb is large and flowers but once. When it has flowered it 
should be lifted and discarded, but the numerous offsets removed 
and replanted so that they can, in a few years, grow on to flow- 
ering size. Smaller bulbs are easier to handle than top-size ones. 
Collected wild bulbs that will arrive from India in mid-Novem- 
ber. Each $2.00, $2.50 
GRACE MARSHALL See Preston hybrids. 
GRAYI (N. Carolina) This is one of our most delightful and indi- 
vidual native plants. It grows to four feet tall and bears ra- 
cemes of brilliant scarlet thimble-shaped blooms. It is at its 
best in a rather moist location in partial shade. Plant 6 inches 
deep. July flowering. Each 75¢ Dozen $8.25 
GREEN MOUNTAIN HYBRIDS In the fall of 1942 Sandyloam was 
exceedingly fortunate in purchasing what was probably the 
finest private collection of trumpet hybrid lilies in the United 
States. These hybrids, though tested in the garden of the hy- 
bridizer for years, had not previously been available to garden- 
ers. They were produced by the late Dr. L. Horsford Abel, 
and are the result of crossing and recrossing the finest of the 
following trumpet lilies: L. princeps George C. Creelman, L. 
princeps Shelburne hybrid, L. Crow’s hybrids, and L. centifoli- 
um.
