AURELIAN HYBRIDS 
Considered by many lily specialists as the most important of all mew hybrid races. By suc- 
cessfully crossing Henryi with the trumpet lilies including centifolium, sargentiae and sul- 
phureum an exciting new group of seedlings is now available to American gardens. The 
variation is complete in both form and color since the seedlings vary from straight Henryi 
types to almost straight trumpet lilies. The true intermediate group varies from huge bowl 
shaped white or cream flowers with yellow or apricot centers to widely flaring or slightly 
reflexed flowers usually yellow, orange or light apricot. The general habit and flower place- 
ment more closely resemb!e Henryi but all the seedlings bear much larger flowers than the 
species. These hybrids possess great vigor and are very hardy. As flowers fade a little in 
full sunshine we recommend planting where plants will receive light afternoon shade. 
SUNBURST Each 2.50 
This group is made up of the flowers which most closely resemble L. Henryi in shape. They 
are much larger and more reflexed and possess unusually fine texture and substance. Color 
varies from cream to soft buffs, straw yellows to waxy orange and some are bicolors. When 
established plants will grow from 5 to 8 feet and bear 5 to 25 flowers during late 
July and early August. 
HEART'S DESIRE Each 2.50 
The typical intermediate strain as the genetic similarity is about equally divided. Flowers 
are essentially shallow, bowl formed and wide flaring. Most are more or less bicolored with 
orange throats that shade to cream or white at the tips. Height 4 to 5 feet. 
GOLDEN TRUMPET Each 3.75 
True trumpet lilies in soft shades of yellow from cream to warm golden orange. Stock is 
very scarce. 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS 
Each 3.00; 12 for 30.00 
One of the loveliest groups of hybrid lilies that will surely delight the most discriminating 
gardeners. The dainty Martagon shaped flowers are generously produced on 5 to 6 foot 
stems in June. The colors are extremely varied including ivory, gold, pink, rose and purple 
shades. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE Each 3.00 
One of the most famous hybrid lilies. The Martagon type flowers are soft ivory yellow 
flushed gold and lightly flecked purple. The exteriors are deeper yellow stained green. 
A most charming variety that blooms in late June on 5 foot stems. 
SUTTON COURT Each 3.00 
Similar to Mrs. R. O. Backhouse but of deeper tone. Color is straw yellow spotted purple.
