LONGIFLORIUM, “The Estate Lily” This is probably the finest 
strain of L. longiflorum ever introduced. It far outstrips all 
other varieties in size, substance of flower, stature and ease of 
culture. Under glass the Estate Lily sends up strong five foot 
stems which carry from three to eight immense white trum- 
pets fully 50% larger than the best imported varieties of L. 
longifiorum. The flowers last longer than those of any other 
variety of this lily. For those with greenhouses there is nothing 
finer to grow for early spring flowering. For outdoor culture it 
is an excellent trumpet lily for early August and hardy in New 
England. Plant 8 inches. 
Each $1.35 Dozen $14.50 
MARHAN A fine and vigorous hybrid between L. Martagon album 
and L. Hansonii. The lustrous orange of the petals overlaid 
with purple gives the effect of burnished copper. June. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Plant 6 to 7 inches. 
Stock limited. Each $4.00 
MARTAGON ALBUM (Europe) We cannot too strongly urge that 
you plant this as it is one of the loveliest lilies in cultivation. 
It has delicate small Turk’s Cap flowers, pure white and sweetly 
fragrant. It grows to about 4 feet tall and blooms toward the 
middle of June. Try it with peonies or with ferns. Plant 4 to 5 
inches. Does well in heavy soil. Each 75c Dozen $7.50 
MARTAGON-HANSONII HYBRIDS These include the Backhouse 
hybrids, L. Dalhansonii, L. Guinea Gold, and the Marhans. 
MAXWILL A vigorous relatively disease-proof variety that estab- 
lishes easily and grows prolifically. The 5 to 6 foot stem is lux- 
uriantly leaved. The greatly recurved flowers hang from a 
pyramidal raceme and are, in color, a brilliant orange-red with 
black spots and long brick-red stamens. Late July. Plant 8 
inches deep. Each 75¢ Dozen $8.00 
MICHIGANENSE This lily is native to the middle west and botan- 
ists have not decided whether it is a distinct species or whether 
it is a natural hybrid of L. canadense and L. superbum. The 
color range is as variable as that of L. canadense, but the petals 
are more reflexed. Like L. canadense and L. superbum it is an 
excellent lily for the woodland garden since it likes partial 
shade and a fairish amount of moisture. Height 2 to 5 feet. 
July. Plant 6 inches deep. 
Collected wild bulbs. Each 50c Dozen $5.50

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. 
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.
