PARTIAL SHADE 
Maybe you wonder just what we mean by partial shade. It 
may be the shade of tall trees or the shade of a building but it 
should protect the plants from the sun during the heat of the 
day, say from ten AM until three PM. Early morning sun or 
late afternoon is OK. 
AURATUM Late Form—131-Except for season of bloom, this is the 
same as No. 130, Aurtum Type. However it opens flowers as the 
others are through. In sections where mild weather lasts till late in 
the fall, it keeps flowering well into late September and sometimes 
into October. You'll welcome them for late bloom. Culture same 
as for Type. 3 for $5.30, each $1.90, Doz. $20.95 
AURATUM Praecox—137—These were developed from chance seed- 
lings found in the wilds. They start flowering about ten days ahead 
of the Type and lengthen the season of these gorgeous flowers.

3 for $5.30, each $1.95, Doz. $20.95 
AURATUM Pictum—136-This is a selected form of this supreb lily, 
brilliant and richly colored, a veritable jewel. The picture in color 
fails sadly to do it justice and mere words can not describe its per- 
fection. The huge bowl-shaped blooms, white, heavily spotted crim- 
son, with tips of petals flushed pink to crimson, make it one of the 
most glamorous and outstanding highlights of the hardy garden. 
Only when you see it in your own garden can you appreciate its 
inimitable beauty. Culture same as for Type.

AURATUM PICTUM No. 136 
AURELIAN ““GOLDEN TRUMPET'’—YELLOW 
Exciting New L ilies 
Aurelian Hybrids 
“The Lilies of the Future’ 
Produced by Carlton Yerex 
Without doubt these Aurelians are the most important group of 
new hybrids available today. Their blood lines are superb and their 
garden behavior has been excellent. In form they vary from true 
Henryi types to full trumpets and every form in between. Colors 
vary from white to deepest yellows and apricots as well as almost 
every shade of cream, ivory and yellow. They are large to very large 
and beautifully held on strong 4 to 7 foot stems with up to 20 
blooms per stalk. 
They are best in part shade with good drainage and even seem 
to thrive in heavy soils. Aurelians are so superior that over state- 
ments are almost impossible. Only by seeing them can their per- 
fection be appreciated. Mid-summer blooming. PD 6 in. 
AURELIAN “Golden Trumpet’’—156—We introduced this strain of 
yellow trumpets last year. They are big flowers in rich yellow. Form 
much like the famous Centifoliums and fully as vigorous. The pic- 
ture fails to do them justice. Every bulb is full flowering size but 
the supply is limited. They propagate very readily from stem bulb- 
lets. Golden Trumpet is one of the most important new lilies in 
many decades. 3 for $10.95, each $3.85 
AURELIAN Special Selection ‘’Mei Ling’’—155-This very unusual 
and beautiful variety received an Award of Merit at the Boston Show 
in 1947. It’s a free flowering lily with as many as 25 yellowish- 
cream colored blooms shading to old gold in the throat, flat faced 
with recurving tips. As | checked the block of them last summer, 
their perfection was almost unbelievable. All Aurelians are of par- 
ticular value to lily hybridists as they are fertile to pollen of many 
type. Always plant Mei Ling in partial shade to enjoy the exquisite 
perfection of its coloring. 3 for $12.50, each $4.35 
AURELIAN “Bright Cloud’’—157-This is one of the truly fine new 
hybrids. Established plants reach six feet and more, carrying as 
many as twenty large recurved blooms with margins and tips pure 
white and centers bright yellow. An exceptionally effective lily in 
the garden because of its extra long flowering period due to pro- 
ducing secondary blooms on lower pedicels, starting as the primary 
flowers are fading. Culture as per other Aurelians. PD 6 in. July.
