JOAN EVANS 
HOLLYWOOD HYBRIDS 
Mr. de Graaff’s entirely new strain of hybrid lilies which is 
offered this year for the first time. By introducing L. davidii 
into the MID-CENTURY hybrids a new race of star shaped 
lilies like a giant L. concolor produced on tall wiry stems is 
now available to those seeking magnificent garden lilies. 
Growing habits are similar to the MID-CENTURY group but 
the HOLLYWOOD HYBRIDS are considerably taller, averag- 
ing 4 to 5 feet, and bloom later. Two outstanding clones were 
selected, named, and are offered for the very first time to our 
customers. 
JOAN EVANS Each 5.50 
Named after the popular young Hollywood star. Large chalice 
shaped flowers of brightest chrome yellow. Wide overlapping 
petals combine to form most handsome flowers in large heads 
that top 4 to 5 foot stems. Most striking of all the yellow 
uprights. July. 
ROSEANNA McCOY Each 7.50 
Distinctive and refined this exciting new lily is charming in 
floral arrangements as well as a beauty in the garden. Upright 
starry flowers similar to a huge L. concolor on wiry 4 foot 
stems. Color is clear orange yellow somewhat darker than its 
sister seedling JOAN EVANS. July. 
MIXED HOLLYWOOD HYBRIDS Each 2.00 
Many shades of yellow, orange and red are present in these 
new lilies. 
AURELIAN HYBRIDS 
Considered by many lily specialists as the most important of 
all new hybrid races. By successfully crossing Henryi with 
the trumpet lilies including centifolium, sargentiae and sul- 
phureum an exciting new group of seedlings is now available 
to American gardens. The variation is complete in both form 
and color since the seedlings vary from straight Henryi types 
to almost straight trumpet lilies. The true intermediate group 
varies from huge bowl shaped white or cream flowers with 
yellow or apricot centers to widely flaring or slightly reflexed 
flowers usually yellow, orange or light apricot. The general 
habit and flower placement more closely resemble Henryi but 
all the seedlings bear much larger flowers than the species. 
These hybrids possess great vigor and are very hardy. As 
flowers fade a little in full sunshine we recommend planting 
where plants will receive light afternoon shade. 
SUNBURST Each 2.75 
This group is made up of the flowers which most closely re- 
semble L. Henryi in shape. They are much larger and more 
reflexed and possess unusually fine texture and substance. 
Color varies from cream to soft buffs, straw yellows to waxy 
orange and some are bicolors. When established plants will 
grow from 5 to 8 feet high and bear 5 to 25 flowers during 
late July and early August. 
HEART'S DESIRE Each 2.75 
The typical intermediate strain as the genetic similarity is 
about equally divided. Flowers are essentially shallow, bowl 
formed and wide flaring. Most are more or less bicolored with 
orange throats that shade to cream or white at the tips. Height 
4 to 5 feet.
