see: AMERICAN SPECIES %::::43% 
All together, the response to the invitation to our customers in 19538 
to give more thought to the American lily species was quite encouraging. 
It is difficult to change garden trends, and we imagine only in time will 
the accelerated enthusiasm for the whole lily genus show itself markedly 
in a wider interest in America’s own beautiful wildlings. 
As we promised in our last year’s Catalogue Supplement and Price 
List, we have increased the varieties we can make available to gardeners 
who would share our enthusiasm for “these handsome and most allusive 
of American flowers.” We particularly draw your attention to Mr. 
Henry Eckstein’s L. HUMBOLDTII HYBRIDS described below, a 
notable addition to the lily roster and a sensational newcomer among the 
Americans. As always, we offer bulbs grown in our own plantings for at 
least a year, plump, sound and viable, and detailed instructions will be 
made available for varieties that demand special care.
