CHEROKEE-217-A new red lily never offered before, produced by 
Mr. E. F. Palmer, whose skill gave us the fine lily Red Bird we in- 
troduced in 1950. This lily is from the same parentage but flowers 
later, well into August. The blooms are freely produced on strong 
4 to 5 foot stems, out-facing and slightly upward. The good sized 
brick red blooms, dotted maroon, will make a brilliant garden pic- 
ture. Planting depth (PD) 5 inches. 3 for $6.75, each $2.50 
Large: 3 for $11.45, each $4.10 
DAURICUM WILSONII—APRICOT 
DAURICUM Wilsonii-272-This is an especially valuable lily due to 
its August flowering when none other of the type is in bloom. The 
deep apricot blooms, spotted mahogany, are held upright on 2 to 3 
foot stems. A good lily to mass in the foreground of the border. 
Easy culture in either sun or part shade. PD 4 in.

much later, flowering in September. Especially valuable for this 
reason. Where late flowering lilies can be enjoyed it is most welcome.
