Fire King 
FIRE KING-310-Experts who have seen 
this new hybrid acclaim it not only one of 
the finest of Lilies but a truly important 
addition to new garden plants. It pro- 
duces a magnificent spike about four feet 
tall with as many as forty vermilion-scar- 
let blooms beautifully arranged, held hori- 
zontal to the stem. Fire King multiplies 
quite fast and is very easy to grow. An 
established planting is one of the most 
vivid color displays in the garden in late 
June and early July. PD 5 in. Choice flow- 
ering bulbs, each $3.75, Three $10.35. 



Duchartret 
DUCHARTREI-282-Syn. L. Farreri. This 
is a very rare Lily from the mountains of 
China and Tibet, an exquisite jewel of 
which we never have enough to meet de- 
mands. Its slender stems, two to four feet 
tall, carry up to a dozen pendant, recurved 
blooms, pure white, spotted lightly wine- 
purple and touched with green in the 
throat. Truly a lovely Lily. The bulbs of 
this gem are small, seldom as large as a 
marble but they send up a vigorous stem. 
This variety like several others, sends out 
a stem which wanders around under 
ground before emerging sometimes as 
much as two feet from the bulb. Bulblets 
form along this stem which result in large 
colonies. Try it among low growing 
Azaleas and Rhododendrons where you 
do not cultivate the surface. All our bulbs 
are grown from seed to insure disease free 
stock. It likes plenty of humus, a moist, 
well drained soil and partial shade. June. 
PD 4 in. Scarce. Very small, fiowering size 
bulbs, each $2.75, Three $7.60. 

DAURICUM (Type) —268-A useful, very col- 
orful dwarf Lily for borders with upright 
blooms. Vase-shaped, light to deep orange, 
yellow at the base, spotted darker. Ours is 
the true form quite rare as Elegans has fre- 
quently been substituted. All the Dauricums 
are good among Lavender or plants having 
purple, blue or lavender flowers. Ht 1 to 1 2 
ft. PD 4 in. Each 50c, Three $1.40. 
DAURICUM Wilsoni-272—An August flower- 
ing form with deep apricot blooms, spotted 
mahogany, 2 to 3 feet tall. Especially welcome 
in the late summer border. Selected bulbs, 
each 55c, Three for $1.55. 
CORDATUM-224-Similar to that rare wood- 
land Lily, Giganteum, with broad _ heart- 
shaped leaves. Trumpet shaped flowers, 
creamy white. Enjoys partial shade in open 
woodland. Cover bulbs with not over an inch 
of soil and protect early spring growth from 
frost. Likes a cool moist soil with ample 
humus. Ht 4 to 6 ft. July. Seldom blooms 
till second year. Each $1.00, Three $2.80.
