T. A. HAVEMEYER SEEDLINGS The seedlings of T. A. Havemeyer 
are among the loveliest of August flowering plants. They range 
in color from ivory white through the pale golds to a deep 
warm yellow. The shape is somewhat variable. Some are of 
the open trumpet type while others are lovely nodding Turk’s 
caps. Most are as good as Havemeyer and some are better. 
Whatever their shape or color each one is a gem. Limited num- 
ber available as stocks are being reserved for propagation.

TENUIFOLIUM The charming Coral Lily is justly popular. It is 
an engaging little witch, one of the first to bloom, rarely more 
than 18 inches tall, with small Turk’s cap flowers of brilliant 
scarlet. It is not a true perennial, tending to be triennial, and 
it is just as well to start a few new bulbs each year to keep 
your planting intact. Plant 4 to 5 inches. 
Each 30c Dozen $3.25 
TESTACEUM The beautiful Nankeen Lily is one of the choicest and 
most effective plants for the garden. Similar in growth to L. 
candidum but it bears heads of fragrant broad, recurved flowers 
of nankeen yellow, delicately flushed with palest pink. Unlike 
L. candidum the flowers form an open cluster at the very top of 
the stem and are pendulous. It is not particular as to soil, a 
good loam is most satisfactory and a little lime is beneficial. 
Bulbs should be planted shallow (4 inches) and early. Best 
grown in full sun, it also does well in partial shade but isi more 
liable to injury from botrytis in the latter situation. As the 
color is so delicate it requires careful placing. As companions, 
pale blue delphinium, or a background of shrubbery are sug- 
gested. There have never been enough bulbs of this old hybrid 
to meet the demand. Each $2.25 Dozen $24.00 
THE DUCHESS A hybrid by F. L. Skinner that we have been watch- 
ing with increasing enthusiasm for four or five years. It is a 
distinct break in form and color and is a vigorous, readily es- 
tablished plant that grows with no special attention. It is won- 
derfully handsome and because of its habit and season fills a def- 
inite garden need. The blooms open flat and face outward with 
a downward tilt. The color is a brilliant orange-yellow with a 
sheen to the petals that gives them a special brilliance. The 
plant grows to three feet and flowers in early to mid-June. 
Plant 5 inches deep. Each $3.00 Dozen $33.00 
TIGRINUM The Tiger Lily is so well-known that it needs no descrip- 
tion here. It is a magnificent August flowering lily and indis- 
pensable for the herbaceous border. We are pleased to offer 
the old New England type as it was brought here centuries ago 
by our sea captains. This is an especially vigorous form with 
dark rich green foliage and stems that seem to delight in their 
ability to grow and reach toward the sun. We consider it quite 
the finest form of L. tigrinum in commerce. Height 6 feet. Plant 
5 to 8 inches. Each 50c, 60c Dozen $5.50, $6.50
