from R. W. Wallace of England. It does well in a mixture of 
gravelly sand, leaf mold and compost, blooming late in Aug. 
L. SPECIOSUM RUBRUM Pink flowers. An easy subject. Height 4’. 
L. SULPHUREUM A surpassing, late July, fragrant trumpet with a 
deep yellow throat and ice-yellow-white petals that curl back to 
give the flower a rare form. We raise our stock from selected seeds 
and we recommend this lily. It grows to 5’ and likes a gritty, 
sandy soil with high humus content. Plant 5-7” deep. 
L. SUPERBUM Another of our handsome Atlantic seaboard native 
lilies which grows to a height of 12’ if given the gravelly-sandy, 
humus packed soil it likes, bearing crowns of 20 turk’s cap, orangey- 
yellow-red flowers in July. Plant 4-5” deep. 
L. SZOVITSIANUM A lily from the Caucasus, attaining a height of 
30”-5', having yellow, cup shaped flowers, blooming in June. It likes 
a position in front of trees and isn’t particular as to soil type, 
although it prefers loam. Plant 5-6” deep. 
L. T. A. HAVEMEYER A lily for the fancier, with an orangey-buff, 
very fragrant, trumpet flower, almost 7” across. Stems grow to 5’ 
and will carry a head of as many as 18 blooms. It prefers garden 
re which leaf mold has been added. It flowers Aug.-Sept. Plant 
6-7” deep. 
L. TESTACEUM The famous Nankeen Lily, of apricot-tinted white 
with delicate apricot dots. It is still considered the finest of the 
man-made hybrids more than a century after its introduction. Our 
display of L. TESTACEUM at the 1951 show of the North American 
Lily Society was awarded the silver Sweepstakes Cup and the silver 
medal of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. This is a truly 
great and magnificent lily that even the most casual gardener can 
handle with ease. We are anxious to have it widely disseminated. 
An illustration of the prize-winning spike appears on page 2. 
This lily requires only good garden loam, and flowers in June-July 
on 5’ stems. Plant 4-5” deep. 
L. TIGRINUM FORTUNEI Our old friend, the tiger lily. FORTUNEI 
is possibly the best of the type. Salmon colored, flowers Aug., 4’ 
stems; not demanding as to soil. Plant 5-6” deep. 
L. TSINGTAUENSE A bright Chinese lily, growing to 3’, bearing 
starlike, upward and outward facing orange-red flowers in July. 
Give it a gravelly loam, full of leaf mold, in slight shade, providing 
with water in dry weather. Plant 4-5” deep. 
L. UMBELLATUM Here is one of the most useful of garden lilies. 
Reaching a height of 30” and blooming in June, it has an upward 
facing, cup-shaped flower. Messrs. Woodcock & Stearn in their au- 
thoritative “Lilies of the World” say of L. UMBELLATUM: “Con- 
sidering how brilliant and easy they are, it is surprising they are 
not more often planted. In 1931, the Royal Horticultural Society 
(of England) conferred the Award of Garden Merit on the group, 
a well-merited distinction for plants so decorative, vigorous, hardy, 
long-lived and rapid of increase. They can be used at the front of 
mixed or shrub borders or even in beds.” ... Fifty or a hundred 
of these bulbs planted as a mass to show off low growing flowers 
of other genera will produce an unforgettable sight. We offer the 
following varieties of L. UMBELLATUM which should be planted 
5-6” deep in good soil:
