HOLLYWOOD Hybrids—390-This is a new

developed by Jan de Graaff. They are mostly 
star-shaped lilies, somewhat like giant Con- 
colors (p. 6). All are upright in form and 
come in yellow, orange and mahogany. They 
are strong growing, and healthy, a group that 
will make vivid color effects in the border. 
Good for cutting also. June-July. Ht. 3 to 5 
ft. PD 4 in. Plant in groups rather than 
singly, and use a contrasting ground cover.

red lily. Petals are rather narrow and pointed

with their superior quality have a distinct 
place in the garden where they produce strik- 
ing color masses of great beauty. Early sum- 
mer blooming. Sun or part shade.

ENCHANTMENT-887-(Pat.) Some of the 
experts consider this the finest of these new 
hybrids. Its vivid nasturtium-red blooms fairly 
glow and glisten in the sun and even on dark 
days it is the brilliant highlight of the border. 
This wonderful upright lily grows anywhere 
with a minimum of care, multiplies rapidly, is 
healthy and long lived. As a seed parent, it 
has proven ideal, transmitting its vivid color- 
ing quite readily. Produces stem bulbils. In 
fact Enchantment seems to have everything a 
good lily should have and few faults. Demand 
exceeds the supply.
