24 CARROLL GARDENS 
of the petals are delicately tinted with light greenish 
brown or soft wine tints and sometimes are pure 
glistening white. They bloom in July, later than 
Regel, and their period of flowering extends from 
three weeks to a month. They do equally well in full 
sun or part shade. The dominant colors do not fade 
appreciably in full sun, but the flowers are at their 
best in very light shade. When grown for show pur- 
poses, the plants should be given light shade as soon 
as the buds lengthen and begin to show color. The 
bulbs form strong stem roots in addition to the ex- 
tensive basal root system, which provides good insur- 
ance against drought. Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 inches 
deep in well-drained soil and they can then be left 
undisturbed for several years. $2.50 per 10; $20.00 
per 100. 
CENTIFOLIUM, SPECIAL SELECT—For the more 
discriminating gardener we offer a limited number of 
specially selected bulbs of the Olympic Hybrids. 
These plants are tagged in the fields during the flow- 
ering season and represent the choicest in acres of 
trumpet Lilies. Every plant is of exhibition quality 
and is outstanding in all respects. Quantities are ex- 
tremely limited and all reservations must be received 
as soon as possble. The general types available are 
the large formal waxy white trumpets of unusual 
substance and vigor, with white or light pink ex- 
teriors the wide flaring, open bowl-shaped type, usual- 
ly with brownish or light greenish exteriors, and the 
very large-flowered irregular form with longer petals, 
which are often slightly twisted or ruffled. 75¢ each; 
$7.00 per 10. 
CENTIFOLIUM, PINK SELECTIONS—In habit and 
culture these are similar to the Olympic Hybrids, but 
the flowers are pink. This color extends over the in- 
ner as well as the outer surface of the petals and is 
indescribably beautiful. Our experience with these 
Lilies has shown that while they are a true fuchsia- 
pink in cool, moist climates, they do not show this 
color when grown in regions where warm nights pre- 
vail during the blooming season. Apparently the 
heat bleaches the colors even before the buds open. 
All Lilies of this type are tagged in the field by ex- 
perienced men, harvested by hand at shipping time, 
and come in random sizes only. $2.00 each. 
FIESTA HYBRIDS—This new race has neatly reflexed 
flowers, nicely spaced on thin, wiry stems. They are 
one of the brightest patches of color in our Lily 
fields during July. Extremely uniform as to flower- 
ing time and habit; pleasing variations in color and 
form of flower enhance their beauty. The colors 
range from bright yellow through orange to a beauti- 
ful dark rich red. Most flowers are of the typical 
recurved turks-cap shape, and many of the plants 
have blooms facing outward or upward, with the 
petals only slightly recurved. Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 
inches deep where they will get plenty of direct sun- 
light. Resistant to mosaic, this group has proved a 
wonderful addition to garden Lilies. The stems are 
‘easy to handle and the colors especially attractive 
indoors. Award of Merit, Massachusetts Horticul- 
tural Society, 1946. 50c¢ each; $3.00 per 10; $25.00 per 
100. 
GOLDEN CHALICE HYBRIDS—tThe range of colors 
- varies from clear lemon-yellow through the rich 
warm shades of gold and apricot-orange. These hy- 
brids are exceptionally vigorous. Plant the bulbs at 
least 6 inches deep in a warm, sunny location where
