PRESTON HYBRIDS A group of splendid hybrids by Miss Isabella 
Preston of the Dominion Experimental Farm at Ottawa, Can- 
ada. Miss Preston has worked with lilies for years and we are 
indebted to her for many fine garden plants. 
CORONATION One of Miss Preston’s most outstanding 
achievements. The plant grows to three feet tall, is upright 
and well leaved and bears up to twenty or more somewhat 
pendant recurved blooms of a clear primuline yellow light- 
ly spotted brown. The exterior of the petals is also a clear 
pale yellow. Like all of Miss Preston’s hybrids this is a 
tested garden subject, of simple culture and vigorous habit. 
The color is completely delightful. Plant 6 to 8 inches. 
Stock limited. Each $2.75 
MOSQUITO This is a recent seedling of L. Edna Kean with 
rather small flowers similar in color and shape to L. Davidi 
var. Willmottiae. The blooms are well spaced and are borne 
at right angles to the straight, sturdy stem, which grows 
to 4 feet. July flowering. Plant 5 to 7 inches deep. 
Each $2.75 
SPITFIRE An open pollinated seedling of L. Edna Kean. The 
inflorescence is arranged like a candelabrum. Flowers are 
vase shaped, face upwards. The color is flame scarlet with 
some medium-sized bay spots. Pollen brazil red. Because 
of its distinctive and charming shape and ease of culture 
this is one of Miss Preston’s most valuable contributions to 
the garden. Early July. Height 3 feet. Each $3.75 
STENOGRAPHER SERIES: 
BRENDA WATTS This is one of the very best garden lilies. 
It grows magnificently, establishes readily, and has a 
strong constitution. It is one of those happy garden sub- 
jects that knows its job and proceeds to do it thoroughly. 
Added to this is the bold and brilliant beauty of the plant 
itself — tall and graceful, bearing a long spike of outward- 
facing blooms, soft orange-red in color. For dignity of sta- 
ture and a mass of sheer color in the July garden it is hard 
to surpass. Height 5 feet. Plant 6 to 8 inches.
