xx ALIDA LIVINGSTON’S LILIES «+ 
Miss Alida Livingston of Oyster Bay, New York, is an internationally 
known amateur, famous for the care with which she grows lilies. To see 
her lily plantings is to realize the almost unlimited vigour and beauty 
one can get in this genus. All species in her garden have been raised 
by her from seed, and clones of her own hybrids and selections, as well 
as those obtained from specialists all over the world, are unique and 
as yet undisseminated. 
We are privileged to have been designated as the sole commercial 
outlet for Miss Livingston’s bulbs, and we offer a preliminary list of 
these to our customers with complete confidence that the lily enthusiast 
will find nothing finer anywhere. 
L. AURATUM PICTUM $10.00 each. This variety is not easily obtain- 
able true to name. Aside from being an early bloomer and having 
a very open and beautiful flower in which red markings are notable, 
Miss Livingston’s clone has proved markedly disease resistant and a 
rapid producer of offsets. 
L. AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM = $5.00 each. These bulbs are 15 years 
old, are up to 12” in circumference and of very great substance. The 
plant is impressive for size and the quality of its inflorescence. 
Seed $1.50 per pkt. 
L. CERNUM = $2.50 each. This is a specially vigorous strain and blooms 
over a period of about three weeks. Stems are up to 3 ft. tall, 
straight and rigid. Seed $1.25 per pkt. 
L. LONGIFLORUM PRAECOX var. WHITE QUEEN $1.50 each. 
Inclined to be dwarf, very hardy, foliage frost resistant, increases 
very fast from underground stem bulblets. 
L. SPECIOSUM WHITE $3.00 each. A clone from SPECIOSUM AL- 
BUM x RUBRUM, tall and vigorous like rubrum.
