oped by Carleton Yerex. The large blooms vary from vase- 
shaped to those with reflexed petals and in color from creamy 
white through the yellows to apricot. 
CORSAGE AURELIANS Large, flat, recurving blooms semi- 
martagon in habit. The colors are variable; ivory, yellows, 
warm apricot or any of these in combination may be ex- 
pected. Each $2.50 
DELIGHT Intermediate, semi-trumpet in shape. The colors 
vary from ivory overlaid with burnt orange to clear yellow.

GOLDEN TRUMPETS True trumpet shape and frequently 
somewhat pendant. The blooms may be lemon-ivory, clear 
yellow or deep warm gold. The reverses are varied. 
Limited stocks. Each $3.50 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS A group raised by the late Mrs. R. O. 
Backhouse and a priceless addition to the garden. The individ- 
ual blooms though not large are charming and are Martagon 
shaped, growing on a long spike. They are difficult to classify 
as to color for, actually, they are variable and iridescent, ranz- 
ing from pale ivory through the golds, pink, mauve, apricot 
orange — all variously flushed and marked. An excellent group 
for the garden as they are not particular as to soil or location, 
establish well and are quite immune to mosaic. Height 5 to 6 
feet. Plant about 6 inches. Late June to early July flowering. 
Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00 
BROCADE One of the finest of the named hybrids. The flow- 
ers are orange-yellow with pink marbling and maroon 
spots. A free-fiowering lily and a vigorous grower. 
Each $3.50 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE This is one of the most attractive 
and probably the most vigorous of the entire group. There 
are a great many beautifully colored Martagon-shaped 
blooms to a stalk. The interior of the petals is ivory over- 
laid with a transparent flush of gold and delicately flecked 
with reddish-purple. The reverse of the petals is a deeper 
yellow shaded with greenish-orange though the reverse 
does not show when the blooms are expanded. Plant 6 to 
8 inches. Each $3.50 
BRENDA WATTS See Preston hybrids. 
BARBARA A recent hybrid developed by W. C. Horsford and given 
the Award of Merit of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
in 1946. The large recurved blooms are a deep blood red and 
face outward from the stem. Late June. 2 feet. Plant 6 inches 
deep. Each $2.50
