L. CONCOLOR—One of our favorite members of the lily family this little 
flower is one of the best. In late spring and early summer the cheerful, bright 
red star-shaped flowers open on thin wiry stems. Concolor is of the easiest cul- 
ture and asks only for a warm, sunny spot in well drained soil. Plant it in groups 
in the herbaceous border where its gaily colored flowers will show to best ad- 
vatage. Also put a few bulbs in the cutting garden as it is one of the best of the 
lilies for cut fower purposes. An excellent market growers’ flower, it will be- 
come more popular as American-grown supplies become more plentiful. All 
our bulbs are from seedling stock and exhibit the vigor characteristic of 
healthy seedlings. . 
The solid bulbs are sound, creamy white in color turning pink of exposure 
to light. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep in groups of not less than five. Height 2/% 
to 4 feet. yee ee ls Ge vaca cleo AE a roe ea ce bem GG 
DR. ABEL’S HYBRIDS (Fiesta Hybrids)—As cheerful and gaily colored 
as the name implies. This new race of seedlings has neatly reflexed flowers, 
nicely spaced on thin wiry stems. Resulting from crosses between L. Davidii 
(L. Willmottiae) and related types they are one of the brightest patches of 
color in our lily fields during July. Extremely uniform as to flowering time 
and habit, the pleasing variations in color and form of flower enhance their 
beauty and usefulness. This is one of the few crosses which has produced no 
inferior types. The colors range from bright yellow through orange to a 
beautiful dark rich red. The latter color is new to this type of lily. Most of 
the flowers are of the typical recurved turks-cap shape and many of the plants 
have blossoms facing outward or somewhat upward with the petals only 
slightly recurved. A sun loving group, plant them 5 to 6 inches deep where 
they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Propagation is most rapid from the 
numerous underground stem bulblets which may be separated from the old stem 
in the Fall and replanted near the mother bulb. Resistant to mosaic, this group 
has proven a wonderful addition to the garden lilies. Excellent cut flowers, the 
stems are easy to handle and arrange and the colors are particularly attrac- 
tive indoors. Award of Merit, Massachusetts Horticultural Society 1946.... 150.00 
L. FORMOSANU M—The latest flowering of all the popular lilies, this white 
trumpet type Is particularly desirable for gardening in moderate climates. The 
plants are often in flower as late as December here on the Pacific Coast. Of 
easiest culture, this lily should be in every garden. Our strain is tall and free 
flowering and has been grown from selected plants for several generations. 
The bulbs are very small, but should be planted 5 to 6 inches deep since 
Formosanum produces very heavy stem roots. Full sun or partial shade suits it 
well and for better flower production some water should be provided during 
the hottest part-of the-summer...:.5, aman ee sa 15.00 
GOLDEN CHALICE HYBRIDS—This is another instance where we have 
chosen to introduce an entire strain of seedlings which have shown marked im- 
provement over the parent plants rather than segregate a few individuals and 
propagate them for eventual naming and introduction. After testing the best 
known named varieties of the Dauricum-Umbellatum-Elegans types from Hol- 
land, England and the Orient. the possibilities for improvement in color an4
