MRS. HENRY’S RARE NATIVE LILIES It is our privilege to pre- 
sent to American gardeners the native lilies discovered by Mrs. 
J. Norman Henry. The list will grow longer from year to year 
as additional varieties are ready for distribution. All funds 
which Mrs. Henry receives from the sale of bulbs are donated 
to the American Red Cross. 
A collection of eight of Mrs. Henry’s new color series of L. 
philadelphicum was shown at the 1946 Lily Show of the Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society. They were given a Silver Medal 
as well as the Society’s Award of Merit. 
CANADENSE GOLDEN RULE A most chaste and beautiful 
lily. The pure golden yellow flowers are completely spotless 
and have golden yellow pollen. No lily is more exquisitely 
lovely than this one. Each $20.00 
CATESBAEI LONGII The rare northern form of L. Catesbaei. 
It is a dwarf lily. The beautiful flowers have long clawed 
petals that are “Coral Red” (Ridgway), shading to yellow- 
ish green at base with a few small dark spots. Collected 
several years ago by Mrs. Henry. This lily demands an acid 
soil composed solely of peat and sand.
