FIRE 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 $6.50 
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. Not available in 1950 
GET-UM-TIGE Tom Barrys cross of L. umbellatum and L. tigrinum. 
This lily is earlier than Margaret Johnson by three weeks and, 
unlike most crosses of this parentage, carries dominant char- 
acetristics of L. umbellatum in both coloring and shape of the 
blooms. The outward-facing flowers measure nearly seven inches 
across and are a flaming vermillion in color, deeper towards the 
tips and spotted with brown. The color holds until the petals 
drop. There are up to dozen blooms on stems which reach about 
thirty inches tall. It is a vigorous, easily-grown plant and ex- 
tremely colorful for the border or against evergreens in mid- 
July. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50 
GOLDEN CHALICE HYBRIDS An exceptionally fine group of yel- 
low, dwarf, early cup shaped lilies. The colors range from clear 
lemon-yellow through rich warm shades of gold and apricot 
and a mass of them in flower is a sheet of sparkling radiance. 
Karly June flowering. 15 to 24 inches. Plant at least 6 inches 
deep. The small bulbs flower prolifically. 
Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50
