because of the substance of the flower and 
its beautiful and attractive shape. Deep 
pink in color, shading imperceptibly to a 
delicate rose at the tips of the petals.

hardy Lilies because of its dependability

on newly set-out plants and continues late

in color. Flowers are often 6 to 7 inches 
across, perfect in form and quite double.
