show. Twelve or fifteen flowers per stem are no 
exception, yet all are well spaced and have plenty 
of room to open and to develop normally. ‘The good, 
rich, color sparkles in the sun so that “Parade” was 
a real favorite with all visitors to our farms.

“Serenade”—Later than the others, it has a good 
clean and clear orange coloring. It stands only a 
little over two feet tall in our nursery which makes 
it an ideal plant for the herbaceous border and for 
pots. The fine proportions, the sturdy stems and the 
healthy, glossy foliage make this an unusually fine 
garden lily, impervious as it is to disease and pests.

Lothian writes: “A well named Lily for the soft or- 
ange colouring of the petals, spotted with brown 
dots, suggests an atmosphere of harmony. The flow- 
ers face outward. Height 27 inches. Flowered 14th 
of July.” 
“Tangelo”—This curious name, derived from a fruit 
that is a hybrid between a Tangerine and an Or- 
ange, suggests the vivid orange coloring of this 
beautiful lily. Tangelo is medium early, has slightly

star-shaped, outward facing flowers and scored high 
in many of our trials. each, $0.45 
Lothian writes: “Star-shaped, outward-facing large 
flowers of a brilliant orange shade, nicely and spec- 
tacularly spotted. It 1s a strong grower and carried 
fifteen flowers on a stiff stem, lavishly equipped with 
soft green foliage. Height 25 inches, flowered 25th 
of June.” 
“Valencia”—Is the last of our outward-facing lilies 
to be introduced this year. It is a mid-season lily of 
fine soft orange to rich yellow coloring. We consider 
it of very fine habit, placement and form and have 
rated it very high during the four seasons we have 
been privileged to observe it. “Brilliant,” “clear,” 
“clean,” “sparkling” are some of the adjectives noted 
down by us during the flowering season. The very 
large, rather flat flowers have a slight midrtb of 
petals. each, $0.36 
Lothian writes: “This has most attractive soft orange 
coloured flowers which open flat, and have a few 
maroon spots on the petals which are nicely reflexed. 
The stem carried nine outward-facing flowers. Flow- 
ered the 8th of July. One of the best of the set;

Mid-Century Hybrids — Upright Flowering 
Five of the introductions are upright lilies. These are true Tigrinum-Umbellatum hybrids. All of them 
will show bulbils in the axils of the leaves, if the flower or the buds are removed early in the season. 
“Enchantment” will have bulbils, even if allowed to flower normally. All of them flower with us around 
the first of July. Their blazing colors and their straight stiff stems made them stand out in our nurseries. 
Their radical departure in form, habit and coloring from anything that has been seen in lilies up to 
the time these novelties flowered was noticed by every visitor. 
“Campfire”—Was the best of the upright red-colored 
lilies in our planting. The color can best be de- 
scribed as a rich, deep, fiery Indian red. It has a 
few spots on each petal, but since they are maroon- 
red, they are hardly noticeable. The petals are 
pointed and rather narrow, giving distinction to 
the plant which, in a nursery, is three feet high and 
probably much taller in the garden. _ each, $0.45 
Lothian writes: “A grandly coloured Lily. It is a deep 
blazing red. The glow of this Lily takes the eye at 
once—it is most distinct and outstanding. The spots 
on the petals are very few and almost unnoticeable. 
The flowers have a nice shape and the pointed pet- 
als add distinction to the flower. An outstanding 
Lily and a grand contrast to Goldrush. The flowers 
are upright and bold. Height 28 inches. Flowered 
16th of July.” 
“Enchantment” (U.S. Plant Patent 862)—Seems to 
be the most prolific, as well as the most beautiful of 
all the lilies that we have raised. It may be worth 
noting that this lily grew from seed planted in the 
spring of 1942 and that, while our stocks are still 
small, only ten years later, we have enough bulbs 
to warrant color plating and commercial introduc- 
tion. Enchantment is an upright lily of excellent 
habit, with many well-formed flowers of a vivid 
Nasturtium-red. Full of life and depth, the color 
blazes in the sun and even on dark days the little 
stock of Enchantment could be seen from miles 
away. This lily which has been so well endowed by 
nature, carries large numbers of bulbils in the axils 
of the leaves. It can also be propagated quite readily 
from scales and we have found that its vivid coloring 
is a dominant factor, so that it is transmitted to 
nearly all its seedlings.
