four feet high—a superb cut flower and an 
excellent propagator.

roots are developed.

noblest of all lilies. Stems grow 10 to 12 feet 
in height and bear large white flowers 
stained purple on the exterior. Definitely 
a lily for the woodland garden in a shaded 
moist location. Acid soil is necessary for the 
best results. Not an easy lily but well worth 
the utmost efforts of anyone who wants one 
of the most magnificent of all lilies in his 
garden. June.

warm shades of golden yellow and apricot 
orange. In addition, improvement of shape 
is achieved in full flowers with wide over- 
lapping petals. The strain is vigorous, 
drouth resistant and suitable for dry warm

opinion. The large open trumpet flowers

woodland location and acid soil. Not an 
easy lily.
