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. 
Collected wild bulbs. Each 85c, $1.00 Dozen 99. 25, $10.40 
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 garden. Though there is not the same degree 
of color variation as in L. auratum, the blooms are large, 
and the plants are normally much taller than in the type. 
Hach $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 gen- 
erally not quite so tall, much more stocky and with broader 
leaves. The blooms are larger, more massive, slightly pen- 
dant or tilted, and somewhat hooded — in contrast to the 
wide-open flowers characteristic of the type. 
Each $1.10 Dozen $12.09 
AURATUM PRAECOX The early flowering form starts to 
open when L. regale is at its peak. It is a handsome lily, 
more graceful than the type but with somewhat less mas- 
sive blooms. Each $1.25 © Dozen $13.50

oped by Carleton Yerex. The large blooms vary from vase-
