Garden Aristocrats 
Lilium Elegans 
These are dwarf, 12 to 18 inches but the 
blooms are large and upright on the stems. 
Very showy in the rock garden or massed in 
the border. For sheer color they are seldom 
equaled. Try them among a colony of Funkia 
or White Heuchera for an effective display. 
Elegans is a healthy, vigorous lot. Culture the 
easiest, thriving in any well drained loam in 
a sunny spot. June-July. PD 4 in. 
ELEGANS Aureum—297-An orange-yellow 
form, conspicuously spotted deep yellow. A 
desirable variety that is popular. Each 55c. 
ELEGANS Mahogany-—299-Also known as Ma- 
hony. Deep mahogany-crimson flowers on fif- 
teen inch stems. An attractive variety and we 
never have enough. June. Each 50c. A few 
large bulbs, 75c. 
ELEGANS Mixed-300-Yellow through apri- 
cot to deepest crimson. A mass of them is a 
riot of color. These and all other of the group 
are excellent in pots. Each 45c. 
GUINEA GOLD-366-A new hybrid, Martagon 
type. Buds are pink, flowers yellow, thickly 
spotted brown. A healthy vigorous Lily, best 
in partial shade. Guinea Gold will be very 
popular when more plentiful and _ better 
known. Try planting it among a mass of blue 
flowering Anchusa myosotidiflora against a 
background of green. It is pictures like this 
and countless others that make gardening 
forever intzresting. June-July flowering. Ht 
4 to 5 ft. PD 5 in. Selected flowering bulbs, 
each $3. 15. 

GREEN MOUNTAIN HYBRIDS-363-By 
some of the experts this is considered the 
finest strain of new hybrid trumpet Lilies. 
They were produced by the late Dr. Abels, 
a true Lily connoisseur, and only recently 
available. The buds are bronze-green to 
pink with some a greenish-sulphur. In- 
teriors are white to cream with throats 
ranging through yellow and orange to 
greenish-yellow. They bloom three to four 
weeks in mid-summer. Our strain has been 
re-selected with the elimination of all 
inferior kinds. Truly they are magnificent. 
Try them with a foreground planting of 
light pink Phlox and a background of 
evergreens. Ht 3% to 6 ft. PD 6 in. Se- 
lected flowering bulbs, each $1.50. 














DAVIDI WILLMOTTIAE 

Syn. Philippinenste 
This is a lovely trumpet Lily becoming more 
popular every year. It is pure white within, 
suffused with wine-purple outside or oc- 
casionally white, fragrant and long blooming. 
Stems are slender, varying from two to six 
feet tall. The late form starts blooming early 
in the fall and continues until frost. Last 
year in our planting they were still in full 
flower in mid-November. In California and 
mild southern sections, they keep blooming 
well into the winter, sending up new shoots 
which continue the display. We offer two 
forms which vary in height and season of 
bloom. PD 5 in. 




FORMOSANUM Late Variety—316-This 
has the longest flowering season of any 
Lily. Height 5 to 6 feet, sometimes eight 
or more in the south. Bulbs very small 
considering the size of the plants. Lovely 
with Anemonz Japonica “‘Alice’’ or with 
masses of hardy Fall Asters or Chrysanthe- 
mums. September to frost. Extra select 
bulbs, each 85c. Small, good flowering 
bulbs, each 45c. 




FORMOSANUM Early—330-Known as Price’s 
variety, growing barely a foot high, blooming 
late July into August. Good in rock garden 
or front of the border. With some of the sum- 
mer blooming Violas massed around it the ef- 
fect should be lovely. Good, small flowering 
bulbs, each 50c. 
GRAYI-360-A delightful little Lily somewhat 
resembling the lovely Canadense. Outside of 
blooms is crimson; orange inside with many 
reddish-purple dots. Try planting it with a 
ground cover of ferns against a blue flowering 
hydrangea. You'll be surprised how the bril- 
liance of the Lily will enliven the blue of the 
shrub. A moist location in partial shade suits 
this Lily best. Our bulbs are the true form 
and stock is limited. Ht 2 to 3 ft. PD 4 in. 
Flowering size bulbs, each 70Oc. 
GLOW-370-One of the earliest Lilies, late 
May into June. An improved hybrid form of 
L. Philadelphicum with larger flowers and 
heavier foliage. Cup-shaped blooms, a deep 
glowing reddish-orange in two foot stems. 
Try with a ground cover of deep ultramarine 
blue Swiss Pansy ‘’Ullswater’’. Full sun. PD 4 
in. Selected flowering bulbs, each $1.00. 
GIGANTEUM Himalaicum—350-The giant 
of all Lilies, sends up imposing stalks ten 
to twelve feet, crowned with huge white 
trumpets, as many as thirty to a stem, 
striped and splashed inside with red-pur- 
ple. If you have the right setting for this 
gem, it will reward you richly. The ideal 
location is in open woods where the sun 
just peeps through, where the soil is al- 
ways damp but also well drained. Likes to 
be protected from winds and the soil 
should be rich with humus, in fact loose 
and fluffy with it. This Lily produces a 
very large bulb which upon flowering, dies, 
leaving behind several offsets which may 
be reset and these in a few years will 
bloom. Cover top of bulb not deeper than 
one inch. We offer selected medium size 
bulbs which should flower the second or 
third year, each $2.75. Small bulbs, $1.65.

HIMALAICUM

FORMOSANUM LATE 
HUMBOLDTII Magnificum—398-The 
striking of our natives. Strong grower, 3 to 4 
feet tall, flowering freely. Blooms reflexed, 
golden-orange, dotted maroon, each dot bor- 
dered crimson. Try against Buddleia Ile de 
France with a foreground mass of Aster Fri- 
karti (Wonder of Staffia). This Lily usually 
takes a year after planting to become estab- 
lished but is well worth the waiting. PD 6 in.
