SUPERBUM The native American Turk’s cap is a great favorite 
with gardeners and is one of the finest of all lilies. The pen- 
dant blooms are large and sharply recurved, orange-red in coi- 
or, tipped with deeper red, and heavily spotted with brown. It 
adjusts well to almost any location, full sun as well as partial 
shade, and is recommended for the border, for inter-planting in 
shrubbery and especially for naturalizing. It can stand more 
moisture than most lilies. The height of the plant varies from 4 
to 8 or 9 feet depending on where it is planted. July flowering. 
Plant 8 to 10 inches deep. Each 35¢ Dozen $3.50 
SZOVITSIANUM (Caueasus) Related to L. monadelphum this lily 
is distinct from it in several respects from the gardener’s point 
of view. The bell-shaped blooms are less reflexed, and a lighter 
color, being pale straw-yellow, freely spotted purplish-black. 
It is earlier to bloom, flowering for us in late May or early 
June, one of the first lilies in our garden. It grows from 3 to 5 
feet, but seems to resent disturbance. It likes plenty of humus, 
but not too acid a soil, and is happy in half shade. 
Small bulbs which have flowered, but may take a year to es- 
lish. Not available in 1951 
T. A. HAVEMEYER This rare and beautiful hybrid has not been 
available for several years and we are fortunate to have a good 
stock of small flowering bulbs to offer this season. The plant 
was developed by Tom Barry of New Jersey and is a cross of 
L. Henryi and L. sulphurem. The flowers which measure 5 to 6 
inches across are semi-trumpet, slightly reflexed, of a soft 
shade of buff externally lined with green; internally at the 
base of the petals a deep green fading to buff with the tips of 
the petals a warm cream. It is one of the most handsome lilies 
in existence. On may expect a normal stature of 4 to 5 feet 
but it is not uncommon for it to reach 10 to 12 feet and bear 
up to 20 blooms per stem. August flowering. Plant 8 inches 
deep. Each $3.00, $5.00 Dozen $33.00, $55.00 
T. A. HAVEMEYER SEEDLINGS The seedlings of T. A. Havemeyer 
are among the loveliest of August flowering plants. They range 
in color from ivory white through the pale golds to a deep 
warm yellow. The shape is somewhat variable. Some are of 
the open trumpet type while others are lovely nodding Turk’s 
caps. Most are as good as Havemeyer and some are better. 
Whatever their shape or color each one is a gem. Limited num- 
ber available as stocks are being reserved for propagation. 
Each $3.00 
TANGELO A Mid-Century hybrid. The vivid orange outward-facing 
blooms are slightly star-shaped. An excellent lily to bring color 
to the border in mid-July. Two feet tall. Plant five inches. _ 
Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00 
TANGO A hybrid lily by Jan de Graaff. The color is so pale an 
apricot as to be quite properly called parchment. The beauti- 
fully shaped flowers face outward, have a central rib of slightly 
deeper color and the entire surface is flecked lightly with red- 
dish-violet, giving the entire plant warmth and distinction. 
Two to three feet tall. Late July. Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00
