MARTAGON This is the old European Turk’s cap of cottage gardens. 
The color is a dull violet or soft pinkish purple with darker 
spots. Well grown plants will reach a height of 4 to 5 feet, but 
it is not always an easy lily in American gardens. It prefers a 
heavy soil, rather moist, well drained, and sweet, and will grow 
in full sun or light shade. July flowering. Plant 4 to 5 inches. 
Each $1.00 Dozen $11.00 
MARTAGON ALBUM (Europe) We cannot too strongly urge that 
you plant this as it is one of the loveliest lilies in cultivation. 
It has delicate small Turk’s Cap flowers, pure white and sweetly 
fragrant. It grows to about 4 feet tall and blooms toward the 
middle of June. Try it with peonies or with ferns. Plant 4 to 5 
inches. Does well in heavy soil. 
Each 75¢ Dozen $7.50 
MARTAGON CATTANIAE Though this magnificent lily is one of 
the oldest in cultivation it is not at all common. It grows from 
5 to 6 feet tall and bears pyramidal racemes of thick petalled 
recurved flowers, so deep a port-wine color as to be almost black. 
The unopened buds are frosted with white. Of excellent habit 
and vigor but capricious in some gardens.

MARTAGON-HANSONII HYBRIDS These include the Backhouse 
hybrids, L. Dalhansonii, L. Guinea Gold, and the Marhans. 
MAXIMOWICZII See L. Leichtlinii var. Maximowiczii. 
MAXWILL This is considered by many the finest colored hybrid of 
recent introduction. It is a vigorous relatively disease proof 
variety that establishes easily and grows prolifically. The 5 to 6 
foot stem is luxuriantly leaved. The greatly recurved flowers 
hang from a pyramidal raceme and are, in color, a brilliant 
orange-red with black spots and long brick-red stamens. Late 
July. Plant 8 inches deep. Each 75¢ Dozen $8.00 
MICHIGANENSE This lily is native to the middle west and botan- 
ists have not decided whether it is a distinct species or whether 
it is a natural hybrid of L. canadense and L. superbum. The 
color range is as variable as that of L. canadense, but the petals 
are more reflexed. Like L. canadense and L. superbum it is an 
excellent lily for the woodland garden since it likes partial 
shade and a fairish amount of moisture. Height 2 to 5 feet. 
July. Plant 6 inches deep.
