GARDEN LILIES 
AMABILE (Korea) This is a brilliantly colored dwarf variety, which 
bears from 4 to 6 grenadine-red black-spotted flowers of Turk’s 
cap shape. Splendid for a splash of color in the rock garden or 
early border. Late June’. Height 1% to 2 feet. Plant 6 inches 
deep. Each 60c Dozen $6.50 
AMABILE LUTEUM The true yellow form is rare and one of the 
loveliest of all lilies. Plant 4 to 6 inches deep. 
Each $1.20 Dozen $13.00 
AURATUM (Japan) This is an exotic beauty with immensely fra- 
grant open-trumpet shaped fiowers frequently as large as a 
dinner plate. They are white with a gold band down the centcr 
of each petal and the entire flower is flecked with crimson. Mid 
August to September is the blossoming time and they grow 
from 4 to 6 feet or taller. Plant 8 to 12 inches deep. 
Collected wild bulbs. Each 85c, $1.00 Dozen $9.25, $10.50 
AURATUM ESPERANZA The bulbs of this famous strain are grown 
in British Columbia and bear large, tremendously varied and 
colorful blooms. Each $1.50, $2.50 Dozen $16.50, $25.00 
AURATUM HARDY FORM Collected in northern Japan and identi- 
cal with the type except that it stays dormant much later in 
spring. This habit is valuable for regions that are liable to late 
frosts and their consequent injury 
Each $1.00, $1.25 Dozen $10.50, $13.00 
AURATUM, LATE FLOWERING FORM This form, which 
starts to open when L. Auratum is going by and continues 
well into October at Sandyloam, is a decided addition to 
the autumn garden. Though there is not the same degree 
of color variation as in L. auratum, the blooms are large, 
and the plants are normally much taller than in the type. 
Each $1.00, $1.35 Dozen $10.50, $14.50 
AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM This showy form fiowers a 
week to ten days earlier than the type. The plants are gen- 
erally not quite so tall, much more stocky and with broader 
leaves. The blooms are larger, more massive, slightly pen- 
dant or tilted, and somewhat hooded — in contrast to the 
wide-open flowers characteristic of the type. 
Each $1.10 Dozen $12.00 
AURATUM PRAECOX The early flowering form starts to 
open when L. regale is at its peak. It is a handsome lily, 
more graceful than the type but with somewhat less mas- 
sive blooms. Not available in 1950 
1 Flowering dates given for all lilies are for central New England. 
The periods will naturally vary in other climates.
