SUPERBUM, var. MARY HENRY DAVIS This exquisite lily 
has flowers of a lovely and unusual shade of yellow, close 
to Ridgway’s “Ochraceous Buff.” The conspicuous dark 
spots show up well on the pale petals. 
Mrs. Henry has named this distinctive lily for her daughter. 
Each $10.00 
SUPERBUM, MRS. HENRY’S NEW VARIETY A splendid 
lily found in a Florida swamp six years ago. The coloring 
is much the same as L. superbum, but the longer, wide- 
spreading stamens give grace and distinction to the flowers. 
The leaves are much longer and narrower than the type and 
the stem is exceptionally rigid. It is a vigorous grower and 
reached a height of over 10 feet in its native home. It comes 
into bloom three or four weeks later than L. superbum. It 
was illustrated in 1942, “American Horticultural Society 
Lily Year Book” on page 91. It has withstood subzero win- 
ters without any protection. This new variety of L. super- 
bum will be validly described in due time. Each $25.00 
SUPERBUM, var. NORMAN HENRY This is a rare yellow 
form that was only recently discovered. It is a character- 
tistic L. superbum with blooms of a clear, unshaded and un- 
spotted butter yellow. The flowers are of splendid texture 
with a surface like fine panne velvet. It is in best form 
when gardens are apt to be rather bare, late July and ear- 
ly August. And it is, without question, one of the most 
valuable garden plants in the world today and, more than 
that, one of the loveliest. ; Each $30.00 
SUPERBUM, var. PORT HENRY A handsome variety of L. 
superbum with flowers of a remarkable and striking color. 
From the tip to the base of the petals the flowers are a clear 
pale orange. There is no shading of any other color and 
the faint spotting is scarcely apparent. Each $10.00 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE See Backhouse hybrids. 
PARADALINUM GIGANTEUM, The Sunset Lily A variety with a 
more vigorous constitution and even more brilliantly colored 
flowers. The prevailing color is rich vermillion passing to or- 
ange-red at the tips of the petals with a deep golden throat, 
thickly spotted with purple black spots. It requires no special 
culture. Each 40c Dozen $4.25 
PARRYI Probably the loveliest of all American lilies and one of the 
most beautiful of the entire genus. The fragrant funnel-shaped 
flowers with slightly reflexed tips are a pleasing citron yellow 
faintly spotted purple brown. Like many of our West Coast 
plants this is not always an easy garden subject. “You can’t 
just dump it down in any part of the garden.” It needs plenty 
of humus, a moist and sheltered place, preferably in partial 
shade. The banks of a stream or that part of the garden where 
our native orchids will grow is the ideal location. A difficult 
lily but so beautiful as to be worth some extra attention. Early 
July flowering. Height 3 to 5 feet. Plant 5 to 8 inches. 
Very choice bulbs. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50
