LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM 
TENUIFOLIUM-—830-The gayest of the 
“little lilies’, bringing into our gardens joy 
and gladness in late May and early June. 
The slender wiry stems have an air of deli- 
cacy and refinement, holding aloft their many 
dainty Turk’s Cap blooms of bright scarlet. 
Either in the front of the border or in the 
rock garden, their dwarf stature is ideal. 
Try them among a mass of Anchusa Myso- 
tidiflora. You'll be astonished how the scarlet 
of the lily livens up the forget-me-not blue 
of the Anchusa. This lily is reasonable enough 
to plant liberally and charmingly beautiful as 
well. PD 3 inches. 
TENUIFOLIUM Golden Gleam—834-—Identical 
with the above except in color which is a de- 
lightful golden apricot yellow. Try it among 
large drifts of rich purple pansies. You'll love 
its 
TENUIFOLIUM Red Star—838-This has been 
very scarce as it is comparatively new. It is 
a variation from the type, scarlet in color but 
with broader petals and less reflexed. An ex- 
cellent novelty, very good for cutting. Culture 
as for type. 
TENUIFOLIUM Yellow Bunting—-840-An- 
other new offering, size and type similar to 
the older kinds but a light canary-yellow, a 
graceful flower you'll adore in the garden. It 
opens early, almost the first lily to bloom, it 
is especially welcome for this reason as well 
as its delightful color and form. Ht. 1 2 ft. 
PD 3 inches. Stock limited. 
MARGARET JOHNSON-480-This is a new 
hybrid of our old favorite Tiger Lily. fhe 
blooms are held horizontally or erect in a truly 
charming manner. Color is a delightful salm- 
On-Orange, spotted mahogany. It flowers tree- 
ly on sturdy stems 4 to 5 feet tall. Plant in 
sun or partial shade. This is the first offering 
of this variety which will be popular when 
plentiful. Plant it in front of a purple leaved 
Plum that has been pruned into a bush form. 
You will enjoy the effect. August. PD 6 in. 

Ducharlrei 
DUCHARTREI-282-Syn. L. Farreri. This 
is a very rare Lily from the mountains of 
China and Tibet, an exquisite jewel of 
which we never have enough to meet de- 
mands. Its slender stems, two to four feet 
tall, carry up to a dozen pendant, recurved 
blooms, pure white, spotted lightly wine- 
purple and touched with green in the 
throat. Truly a lovely Lily. The bulbs of 
this gem are small, seldom as large as a 
marble but they send up a vigorous stem. 
This variety like several others, sends out 
a stem which wanders around under 
ground before emerging sometimes as 
much as two feet from the bulb. Bulblets 
form along this stem which result in large 
colonies. Try it among low growing 
Azaleas and Rhododendrons where you 
do not cultivate the surface. All our bulbs 
are grown from seed to insure disease free 
stock. It likes plenty of humus, a moist, 
well drained soil and partial shade. June. 
PD 4 inches. Scarce. 

DAURICUM (Type) —268-A useful, very col- 
orful dwarf Lily for borders with upright 
blooms. Vase-shaped, light to deep orange, 
yellow at the base, spotted darker. Ours is 
the true form quite rare as Elegans has fre- 
quently been substituted. All the Dauricums 
are good among Lavender or plants having 
purple, blue or lavender flowers. Ht 1 to 11% 
int, (PID) 4b tifa). 
DAURICUM Wilsoni-272-An August flower- 
ing form with deep apricot blooms, spotted 
mahogany, 2 to 3 feet tall. Especially welcome 
in the late summer border. 
Lilium 
Gormesanuum 
Syn. Philippinenste 
This is a lovely trumpet Lily becoming more 
popular every year. It is pure white within, 
suffused with wine-purple outside or oc- 
casionally white, fragrant and long blooming. 
Stems are slender, varying from two to six 
feet tall. The late form starts blooming early 
in the fall and continues until frost. Last 
year in our planting they were still in full 
flower in mid-November. In California and 
mild southern sections, they keep blooming 
well into the winter, sending up new shoots 
which continue the display. PD 5 in. 
A late loug-flowering Lily 
FORMOSANUM Late Variety—316-This 
has the longest flowering season of any 
Lily. Height 5 to 6 feet, sometimes eight 
Or more in the south. Bulbs very small 
considering the size of the plants. Lovely 
with Anemone Japonica “‘Alice’’ or with 
masses of hardy Fall Asters or Chrysanthe- 
mums. September to frost. 
Even small bu!bs produce five-foot stems. 

FORMOSANUM Early—330—Known as Price’s 
variety, growing barely a foot high, blooming 
late July into August. Good in rock garden 
or front of the border. With some of the sum- 
mer blooming Violas massed around it the ef- 
fect should be lovely.
