GARDEN LILIES 
AMABILE (Korea) This is a brilliantly colored dwarf variety. It 
bears from 4 to 6 grenadine-red black-spotted flowers of Turk’s 
cap shape. It grows from 1% to 2% feet and will blossom from 
mid to late Junel. Splendid for a splash of color in the rock gar- 
den or early border. Plant 6 inches deep. 
Each 40c Dozen $4.25 
AMABILE LUTEUM We offer the true very rare form with attrac- 
tive yellow flowers. Plant 4 to 6 inches deep. Not fastidious 
about soil or location. This is one of the loveliest of all lilies 
and has earned a generous corner in every garden. 
Stock limited. Each $2.25 Dozen $24.00 
AURATUM (Japan) This is an exotic beauty with immensely fra- 
grant open-trumpet shaped flowers frequently as large as a din- 
ner plate. They are white with a gold band down the center of 
each petal and the entire flower is flecked with crimson. Mid 
August to September is the blossoming time and they grow 
from 4 to 6 feet or taller. Plant 8 to 12 inches deep. 
Each 85c, $1.00 Dozen $9.25, $10.50 
AURATUM, LATE FLOWERING FORM This form, which starts 
to open when L. auratum is going by and continues well into 
October at Sandyloam, is a decided addition to the autumn gar- 
den. Though there is not the same degree of color variation as 
in L. auratum, the blooms are large, and the plants are normal- 
ly much taller than in the type. 
Each $1.00, $1.35 Dozen $10.50, $14.50 
AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM This showy form flowers a week to 
ten days earlier than the type. The plants are generally not 
quite so tall, much more stocky and with broader leaves. The 
blooms are larger, more massive, slightly pendant or tilted, and 
somewhat hooded—in contrast to the wide-open flowers char- 
acteristic of the type. 
Each $1.25, $1.75 Dozen $13.50, $19.00 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS A group raised by the late Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse and a priceless addition to the garden. The individ- 
ual blooms though not large are charming and are Martagon 
shaped, growing on a long spike. They are difficult to classify 
as to color for, actually, they are variable and iridescent, rang- 
ing from pale ivory through the golds, pink, mauve, apricot, 
orange—all variously flushed and marked. An excellent group 
for the garden as they are not particular as to soil or location, 
establish well and are quite immune to mosaic. Height 5 to 6 
feet. Plant about 6 inches. Late June to early July flowering. 
Un-named seedlings. Each $2.00 Dozen $22.00 
BROCADE One of the finest of the named hybrids. The flow- 
ers are orange-yellow with pink marbling and maroon 
spots. A free-flowering lily and a vigorous grower. We are 
indeed fortunate to be able to list it. Each $3.00 
1 Flowering dates given for all lilies are for central New England. 
The periods will naturally vary in other climates.
