PAPILLIFERUM This is one of the Yunnanese lilies sent to us in 
1947 by the celebrated explorer Dr. Joseph F. Rock. 
The plant, with us, is dwarf reaching only to 12 inches and bear- 
ing several small recurved blooms. The color is deep garnet on 
the interior of the petais with a central stripe of greenish white 
and the reverse is the same garnet but heavily overlaid with 
bronzy green. The leaves are slender and scattered and the 
stem has a marked tendency to wander underground. On our 
grounds the plants have been perfectly hardy through two dif- 
ficult winters and we find that they have the real advantage of 
coming into growth very late in the season. The blooms are 
fragrant and the plant is August flowering. A few bulbs will 
be released this season. Each $10.00 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM The Sunset Lily An easily grown 
and brilliantly colored lily from California. The sharply re- 
curved flowers are rich vermillion, stained deep blood red at the 
tips, golden orange in the throat, and heavily spotted with 
deep purple. Mid July. 3 to 5 feet tall. Plant 7 to 9 inches in 
full sun or light shade Each 50c Dozen $5.50 
PHILADELPHICUM (Eastern North America) One of our few up- 
right flowering native lilies and one of the most brilliantly col- 
ored. The flowers are vivid orange scarlet with large dark ma- 
roon spots. A woodland lily which does best in acid soil, in par- 
tial shade where the drainage is especially good. Grows 1% 
feet. Plant 5 inches deep. June to July flowering. 
Each 35¢ Dozen $3.50 
PRESTON HYBRIDS A group of splendid hybrids by Miss Isabella 
Preston, the Canadian hybridizer, who has worked with lilies 
for years and to whom we are indebted for many fine garden 
plants. 
CORONATION One of Miss Preston’s most outstanding 
achievements. The plant grows to 3 feet tall, is upright 
and well leaved and bears up to twenty or more somewhat 
pendant recurved blooms of a clear primuline yellow lightly 
spotted brown. The exterior of the petals is also a clear 
pale yellow. Like all of Miss Preston’s hybrids this is a 
tested garden subject, of simple culture and vigorous habit. 
The color is completely delightful. Plant 6 to 8 inches. 
Each $2.75 Dozen $29.00 
HURRICANE An open pollinated seedling of L. Edna Kean. 
The inflorescence is arranged like a candelabrum with up- 
ward-facing, vase-shaped flowers. The color is deep blood- 
red. Because of its distinctive and charming shape and 
ease of culture this is one of Miss Preston’s most valuable 
contributions to the garden. Early July. Height 3 feet. 
Each $3.75
