PARADE Far and away one of the most striking of Mr. de Graaff’s 
Mid-Century hybrids. The outward facing blooms are sparkling 
butter-yellow with a deeper central rib, and flecked with small 
black spots. Twelve to fifteen flowers may be expected per stem 
on an established plant. Mid-July flowering. 2%% to 3 feet. 
Plant five inches. Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00 
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. 
Fach 35¢ Dozen $3.50 
PINK SHELBURNE HYBRIDS The Shelburne hybrids are a famous 
strain of L. princeps developed on the estate of the Vanderbilt 
Webbs of Shelburne, Vermont. The pink selections have been 
evolved by Fred Abbey and we are pleased to have seen them 
growing and to be able to offer them. The color is clear pink, 
similar to L. japonicum, when seen at a distance; white overlaid 
with pink when observed at close range. Mid-July flowering. 
3 to 5 feet tall. All bulbs were tagged in the field, have flowered 
this year and should flower next. Random sizes only. Each $2.50 
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. 
Each $3.75 
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 $1.75 Dozen $18.50 
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.
