Lily Descriptions and Prices (Continued) 
We believe that in Enchantment we have raised 
the most promising new hardy lily of the century. 
It is a completely new type of lily, vigorous, hardy, 
disease-resistant, and virtually indestructible, if only 
the very slightest care is given to it. We obtained 
a plant patent on this lily and it may not be grown 
commercially without our express consent. A.M., 
R.HLS. 1953. each, $0.24 
Lothian writes: “An exquisite Lily, brilliant in the 
sunshine and with a soft entrancing glow which 
gleams strikingly in the crepuscular light of a sum- 
mer evening and rivals the sunet. A Scottish Count- 
ess who saw it in my garden said it reminded her of 
a gorgeous sunset. The colour of the beautifully 
shaped, upright flowers is a rich red, suffused with 
an ethereal glow. The stems are strong and carried 
ten flowers. The petals are nicely spotted. A strong 
grower with healthy green, broad foliage. Flowered 
14th of July. Height 28 inches.” 
“Harmony”—Wide-petaled, upright flowering lily 
in shades of rich and brilliant orange. Early flower- 
ing, it proved to be one of the finest in all our trials 
and was much admired by visitors. Long pedicles, 
large flowers, fine for cutting and large flower ar- 
rangements. each, $0.45 
Lothian writes: “This is a most outstanding Lily. Its 
richly coloured, brilliant orange flowers, on long 
pedicles, have splendidly shaped, broad petals and 
have been greatly admired. The spots on the petals 
are an added attraction. The height was 30 inches, 
and the brown stems carried 10 flowers which are 
big and beautifully disposed and make a pretty 
bunch on the stem. It is quite distinct from any 
other lily. It flowered here on 3d July and lasted in 
refreshing beauty for a long time. A very lovely 
thing. The flowers are upright and look you in the 
face. One of the best.” 
“Joan Evans” — Named after the popular young 
Hollywood star, is a broad-petalled, bright, golden- 
yellow upright lily. It is late flowering and therefore 
a particularly fine addition to our garden lilies. 
Carrying as many as from six to nine flowers on a 
thin, wiry and tough stem, it stands from four to 
five feet tall. Magnificent cut and show flower but 
equally good in the herbaceous border. Flowers at- 
tractively spotted maroon. each $0.36 
Lothian writes: “Golden yellow, upright flowers 
with broad petals neatly arranged and spotted with 
maroon. The strong stem carried ten flowers. Flow- 
ered 15th July. Height 25 inches.” 
“Pagoda”—Is one of the tallest uprights in our pres- 
ent collection. Scaled bulbs grew good three-foot 
stems and we believe that in the garden mature 
bulbs will produce stems to four feet. The flowers, 
six to eight carried on good pedicles and nicely ar- 
ranged, are of a true orange-chrome or Marigold 
orange. This lily seems to be a “‘natural” for large 
flower arrangements. each, $0.36 
Lothian writes: “This Lily is notable for its colour 
which I find hard to describe. It ts actually the 
colour of the famous old Calendula ‘Prince of Or- 
ange’, a very rich orange. The flowers ‘are neatly 
arranged and are upright. Height 32 inches — flow- 
ered 7th July.” 
Mid-Century Hybrids — Mixed — All Colors and Types 
After selecting sixteen clones out of these fine new hybrid lilies we had another sixty or more that 
were far too good to discard, yet looked too much like the named varieties to continue as clones. This group 
we have propagated as a mixture and we offer it at sharply reduced prices in order to acquaint as large 
as possible a group of gardeners with their beauty and usefulness. 
per 1000, 4-5” $150.00; 5-6’ $210.00; 6-7” $240.00
