LONGIFLORUM, “The Estate Lily” This is probably the finest 
strain of L. longiflorum ever introduced. It far outstrips all 
other varieties in size, substance of flower, stature and ease of 
culture. Under glass the Estate Lily sends up strong 5 foot 
stems which carry from three to eight immense white trumpets 
fully 50% larger than the best imported varieties of L. longi- 
florum. The flowers last longer than those of any other-variety 
of this lily. For those with greenhouses there is nothing finer to 
grow for early spring flowering. For outdoor culture it is an 
excellent trumpet lily for early August and hardy in New Eng- 
land. Plant 8 inches deep. 
Early November delivery. Each 85c Dozen $9.25 
MARGARET JOHNSON A hybrid of L. dauricum and L. tigrinum 
by F. L. Skinner and bearing the characteristics of both parent 
plants. The color is the same as L. tigrinum, a soft flame-red, 
spotted with deep purple and the semi-refiexed blooms face out- 
ward and upwards. It is a striking garden subject that grows 
well and increases rapidly. The stem is bulbil bearing like the 
Tiger Lily. Late July flowering. Height 4 feet. Plant 6 inches 
deep. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50 
MARHAN A fine and vigorous hybrid between L. Martagon album 
and L. Hansonii. The lustrous orange of the petals overlaid 
with purple gives the effect of burnished copper. June. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Plant 6 to 7 inches. 
Stock limited. Each $3.00 
MARTAGON ALBUM (Europe) One of the loveliest lilies in culti- 
vation, it has delicate small Turk’s cap flowers, pure white and 
sweetly fragrant. It grows to about 4 feet tall and blooms to- 
ward the middle of June. Try it with peonies or with ferns. 
Plant 4 to 5 inches. Does well in heavy soil. 
American grown bulbs. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50 
MARTAGON-HANSONIT HYBRIDS These include the Backhouse 
hybrids, L. Dalhansonii, and L. Marhan. 
MAXWILL A vigorous relatively disease-proof variety that estab- 
lishes easily and grows prolifically. The 5 to 6 foot stem is lux- 
uriantly leaved. The greatly recurved flowers hang from a 
pyramidal raceme and are, in color, a brilliant orange-red with 
black spots and long brick-red stamens. Late July. Plant 8 
inches deep. Each 75c Dozen $8.00 
MICHIGANENSE This lily is native to the middle west and botan- 
ists have not decided whether it is a distinct species or whether 
it is a natural hybrid of L. canadense and L. superbum. The 
color range is as variable as that of L. canadense, but the petals 
are more reflexed. Like L. canadense and L. superbum it is an 
excellent lily for the woodland garden since it likes partial 
shade and a fairish amount of moisture. Height 2 to 5 feet. 
July. Plant 6 inches deep. Each 50c Dozen $5.50 
MID CENTURY HYBRIDS A series of hybrids developed by Jan de 
Graaff and crosses of two vigorous and easily-grown lilies; 
L. tigrinum and L. umbellatum. The color range is from yellow 
through to the dark reds and much more carefully selected 
than in many lilies of like parentage. Some have upright blooms, 
others outword facing. All are exceedingly interesting. These 
included here-in are Campfire, Enchantment, Fireflame, Pagoda. 
Parade, Tangelo, Tango and Vagabond. They are listed alpha- 
betically in the body of the catalogue.
