FIESTA HYBRIDS A highly publicized group of hybrids with re- 
FIRE 
flexed blooms well spaced on thin wiry stems. The colors range 
from yellow through orange to clear dark red. The plants grow 
from 4 to 6 feet tall and prefer full sun. July flowering. Plant 
5 to 6 inches deep. Each $3.00 Dozen $30.00 
KING Those who have seen this lily consider it one of the 
most important garden plants to have been introduced in many 
years. It grows to about 4 feet and develops a magnificent spike 
that bears up to forty vermillion-scarlet blooms carried at right 
angles to the stem. The flowers “look at you” and this quality 
is a distinct break developed from crossing and re-crossing 
pendant or Turk’s cap species with upright forms. L. Fire King 
is easy to grow, tends to multiply and is probably the most 
brilliantly colored lily in cultivation. A well-grown clump is a 
mass of sheer flame in the garden for from three to four weeks 
in early summer. Plant 5 to 7 inches. Each $3.50 
FORMOSANUM (Formosa) This is a splendid, very late trumpet 
lily. It somewhat resembles L. regale but blooms in late Sep- 
tember or even October. The trumpets are longer and some- 
what more constricted than L. regale. Height 4 to 6 feet. 
Each 50c Dozen $5.50 
FORMOSANUM, INTERMEDIATE FORM These are crosses of L. 
formosanum, Pricei with L. formosanum, and the resultant hy- 
brid selfed or crossed back with Price’s form. They bloom just 
after L. regale and average 30 inches in height. Plant 5 to 6 
inches. 
Each 60c Dozen $6.56 
FREIMANN’S PINK CENTIFOLIUM This is a new race of trumpet 
lilies, and one of the most important to be offered in many 
years. The color is deep Ephyrite red on the exterior, with a 
flush of the same color in a somewhat paler shade over the 
ivory of the interior. Seen in massed plantings the color is al- 
most identical with that of joe-pye weed. The seedlings are 
variable. In some blooms the color extends right down into the 
throat — in others the throat may be lemon yellow. These lilies 
are very vigorous. Late July and early August flowering. The 
plants commonly are taller than 6 feet. Each $3.50
