Backhouse Hybrids 
These are an exquisite group of lilies, hybrids of Hansoni and 
Martagon, healthy and long lived but very slow propagators. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE-170-Hansoni type, ivory to yellow with 
a translucent gold overcast, lightly flecked reddish-purple. An intri- 
guing and exquisite beauty, tall and vigorous, unusual and different. 
You'll love its perfection. June-July. Ht. 5 to 6 ft. PD 5 inches. 
Sun or part shade. 3 for $13.20, each $4.50 
SCEPTRE-768-One of the loveliest, a deep rose-pink over an ivory 
base, tips of petals flushed fuchsia purple and flecked with deep 
purple spots. A lily for the true connoisseur. July flowering. Ht. 5 to 
6 ft. PD 5 inches. Each $5.95 
SUTTON COURT-—7/94-A true jewel of the first water, glittering 
canary-yellow, shaded pink with purple spots. These are among 
the most beautiful of all hardy lilies. Very healthy and long lived. 
Doesn’t this sound intriguing? Each $4.50 
BROCADE-182-One of the loveliest of the group, free flowering 
and vigorous. A delightful orange-yellow with pink marbling and 
maroon dots. Truly a symphony of color harmony. The fragrant, 
gracefully recurving blooms are strikingly beautiful in the garden. 
June-July. Long lived and fully disease resistant. Very scarce. PD 
5 in. Sun or part shade. Eacheboro> 
CONCOLOR—BRILLIANT SCARLET 
CONCOLOR-222-Here’s a brilliant scarlet lily with scarlet anthers, 
a gay and attractive addition to the late June-early July garden. 
Its slender two foot stems carry numerous medium size airy up- 
right blooms. In clumps of three to a dozen or more in the fore- 
ground of the hardy border or the rock garden, they are delightful 
indeed. Concolor likes full sunshine and is happy in ordinary soils, 
not too moist. Planting depth (PD) 3 in. Plant in clumps of three 
or more when possible. 3 for $1.65, each 65c, Doz. $6.35 
CONCOLOR Rasemosa—221-An improved form produced in Canada 
by Mr. Skinner. The stems are taller, two to three feet, and very 
vigorous with 18 to 26 blooms each. Flowers larger than the type, 
a brilliant sealing wax red. 3 for $2.50, each 95c 
BELLINGHAM Hybrids Mixed—177-This famous strain is Martagon 
in type, fully or partially reflexed, nodding to semi-outfacing. Colors 
range from clear yellow through the yellow-oranges to bright orange- 
red, many spotted with reddish-brown. Ideal and long lasting as cut 
flowers. They are a magnificent lot, airy and graceful, almost orchid- 
like in effect. The tall, slender, straight stems carry 20 to 30 blooms 
per stalk. Large bulbs send up two or more stalks and soon form nice 
clumps. July flowering. Ht. 4 to 6 ft. PD 6 inches. They prefer 
partial shade, perfect drainage and soil well filled with humus.

BELLINGHAM Hybrids ‘’Selects’’—178—For many years Mr. Edgar 
Kline has been selecting and reselecting from these hybrids but 
not until this year does he feel he can offer them for what they 
are, a super selection of one of the finest group of hybrid lilies ever 
grown. They run to the lighter colors, yellow, buff and apricot, 
showing the influence of the Perryi blood. Their tall—4 to 6 feet— 
stems carry 25 or more flowers of a delightful form. All in all, they 
are very worth while and offer the culmination of over ten years of 
painstaking work by Mr. Kline. July. PD 6 in. Part shade. 
3 for $2.90, each $1.10 
CYRUS GATES-235-One of the most brilliant of the Bellingham 
Hybrids but always VERY scarce. We have not been able to list 
it since 1949. Seldom do we have enough to fill all orders. It is a 
vigorous grower but slow to propagate. The blooms, twelve to twenty 
per stem are true Martagon type, cadmium-orange, spotted purple- 
black, a stunning lily. Ht. 5 to 7 ft. July. PD 6 inches. 
3 for $6.25, each $2.25 
CANADENSE Flavum—191-—One of the best loved of our native 
lilies, graceful and long lived. Its nodding, bell-shaped blooms are 
a lovely clear yellow spotted chocolate. Give it a sunny spot with 
ample moisture and a soil well filled with humus. An ideal lily for 
naturalizing in moist woodland. June. 4 to 5 ft. PD 4 in.

CHEHALEM Hybrids—216-This is a new strain we introduced in 
1950. They are large shapely trumpets of excellent texture and fine 
quality. Waxy-white to cream in color with throats yellow, apricot or 
pale green. Not spotted. The sturdy five foot stems flower freely 
in July. We look forward to them becoming very popular as they are 
better known. They are top quality. PD 5 in. 
3 for $4.45, each $1.65, Doz. $17.70 
BROWNII-183-—Considered one of the most beautiful of all the 
trumpet lilies but very scarce. A huge bloom, sulphur-yellow, aging 
white, exterior glossy purple. An easy garden lily in either light or 
heavy soil but insists on perfect drainage. Deep chocolate-brown 
anthers are striking against the sulphur of the freshly opened blooms. 
Equally good in full sun or part shade. June-July. Ht. 3 to 4 ft. 
PD 6 in. 3 for $16.50, each $5.75
