THE DUCHESS A hybrid by F. L. Skinner that we have been watch- 
ing with increasing enthusiasm for four or five years. It is a 
distinct break in form and color and is a vigorous, readily es- 
tablished plant that grows with no special attention. It is won- 
derfully handsome and because of its habit and season fills a def- 
inite garden need. The blooms open flat and face outward with 
a downward tilt. The color is a brilliant orange-yellow with a 
sheen to the petals that gives them a special brilliance. The 
plant grows to three feet and flowers in early to mid-June. 
Plant 5 inches deep. Each $3.00 Dozen $33.00 
TIGRINUM The Tiger Lily is so well-known that it needs no descrip- 
tion here. It is a magnificent August flowering lily and indis- 
pensable for the herbaceous border. We are pleased to offer 
the old New England type as it was brought here centuries aga 
by our sea captains. This is an especially vigorous form with 
dark rich green foliage and stems that seem to delight in their 
ability to grow and reach toward the sun. We consider it quite 
the finest form of L. tigrinum in commerce. Height 6 feet. Plant 
5 to 8 inches. Each 50c, 60c Dozen $5.50, $6.50 
TSINGTAUENSE Somewhat resembles L. concolor, but is much 
more striking and vigorous. The broad rich green foliage grows 
in whorls around the stem as does the foliage of L. Hansoni. 
The individual blooms are a glossy nasturtium-red, upright, 
star-shaped with long fluted petals. This is one of the good 
new garden lilies, distinctive and adaptable. July. 3 feet. Plant 
6 to 7 inches. Each $1.75 Dozen $17.50 
UMBELLATUM (European garden hybrids) The so-called Flame, 
Candlestick or Torch Lily of our gardens. All bear umbels of 
upright, cup-shaped flowers in brilliant colors and nothing can 
compare with them when planted in groups in the border. They 
are of easiest culture, require no care and establish well, 
quickly forming good sized clumps. We list a group of dis- 
tinct color and habit. Late June. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep. 
Grandiflorum The common form, a brilliant orange-red spotted 
with deeper red. Height 214 feet. Each 50c Dozen $5.00 
Satan. A new clone developed by the outstanding American 
specialist, Mr. George L. Slate, and offered last season for 
the first time. The plant grows to 2% feet, and bears up 
to four or five well-spaced blooms, a deep currant-red in 
color. One of our men, on seeing it for the first time said, 
“You couldn’t find anything redder than that, nor greener 
than that, no matter how hard you looked.” The individual 
blooms measure six inches across, with petals in their na- 
tural position — not forced to gain extra spread. We ex- 
pect this lily to replace all other deep red forms of L. um- 
bellatum as soon as stocks are more generous. It is a 
good grower and increases rapidly in the garden. Each $3.50 
WILLMOTTIAE See L. Davidi var. Willmottiae. 
WINTER SUNSET A selected clone of the Pink Shelburne Hybrids, 
and a very beautiful lily it is. Large flaring trumpets, deep rose 
on the reverse, heavily stained with apple-blossom pink over 
the creamy-white of the interior. The general effect is clear rose, 
Mid-July. 3 to 4 feet. Flowering-size bulbs. Each $4.00
