Speciosum Punctatum An early form of L. speciosum that is 
distinguished from the type by its flowering period, by the 
eraceful and vigorous character of the stem, the paler rose- 
pink color, and by the leaves which form two ranks on 
opposite sides of the stem. It is particularly valuable for 
northern gardens as it flowers from three to four weeks 
earlier than Rubrum. With us it is in bloom in late July 
and early August. In the more southerly gardens it will be 
in several weeks earlier. 
Collected wild bulbs. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50

SUPERBUM ‘The native American Turk’s cap is a great favorite 
with gardeners and is one of the finest of all lilies. The pen- 
dant blooms are large and sharply recurved, orange-red in coi- 
or, tipped with deeper red, and heavily spotted with brown. It 
adjusts well to almost any location, full sun as well as partial 
shade, and is recommended for the border, for inter-planting in 
shrubbery and especially for naturalizing. It can stand more 
moisture than most lilies. The height of the plant varies from 4 
to 8 or 9 feet depending on where it is planted. July flowering. 
Plant 8 to 10 inches deep. Each 35¢ Dozen $3.50 
SZOVITSIANUM (Caucasus) Related to L. monadelphum this lily 
T f 
is distinct from, it in several respects from the gardener’s point 
of view. The bell-shaped blooms are less reflexed, and a lighter 
color, being pale straw-yellow, freely spotted purplish-black. 
It is earlier to bloom, flowering for us in late May or early 
June, one of the first lilies in our garden. It grows from 3 to 5 
feet, but seems to resent disturbance. It likes plenty of humus, 
but not too acid a soil, and is happy in half shade.

lish. Each $2.00 Dozen $22.00 
- HAVEMEYER This rare and beautiful hybrid has not been 
available for several years and we are fortunate to have a good 
stock of small flowering bulbs to offer this season. The plant 
was developed by Tom Barry of New Jersey and is a cross of 
L. Henryi and L. sulphurem. The flowers which measure 5 to 6 
inches across are semi-trumpet, slightly reflexed, of a soft 
shade of buff externally lined with green; internally at the 
base of the petals a deep green fading to buff with the tips of 
the petals a warm cream. It is one of the most handsome lilies 
in existence. On may expect a normal stature of 4 to 5 feet 
but it is not uncommon for it to reach 10 to 12 feet and bear 
up to 20 blooms per stem. August flowering. Plant 8 inches 
deep. Each $3.00 Dozen $33.00
