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 Dozen $33.00 
T. A. HAVEMEYER SEEDLINGS The seedlings of T. A. Havemeyer 
are among the loveliest of August fiowering 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.

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 
TENUIFOLIUM The charming Coral Lily is justly popular. It is 
an engaging little witch, one of the first to bloom, rarely more 
than 18 inches tall, with small Turk’s cap flowers of brilliant 
scarlet. It is not a true perennial, tending to be triennial, and 
it is just as well to start a few new bulbs eaeh year to keep 
your planting intact. Plant 4 to 5 inches. 
Each 30c Dozen $3.25 
RED STAR The plant is consistently dwarf—growing to about 
10 inches. The blooms are scarlet, star-shaped and have 
longer and broader petals than the type. They are carried 
horizontally rather than pendant. Late June. Plant 3 inches. 
Each 75¢ Dozen $7.50 
TESTACEUM The beautiful Nankeen Lily is one of the choicest and 
most effective plants for the garden. Similar in growth to L. 
candidum but it bears heads of fragrant broad, recurved flowers 
of nankeen yellow, delicately flushed with palest pink. Unlike 
L. candidum the flowers form an open cluster at the very top of 
the stem and are pendulous. It is not particular as to soil, a 
good loam is most satisfactory and a little lime is beneficial. 
Bulbs should be planted shallow (4 inches) and early. Best 
grown in full sun, it also does well in partial shade but is more 
liable to injury from botrytis in the latter situation. As the 
color is so delicate it requires careful placing. As companions, 
pale blue delphinium, or a background of shrubbery are sug- 
gested. There have never been enough bulbs of this old hybrid 
to meet the demand. Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00
