MID CENTURY HYBRIDS A series of hybrids developed by Jan de Graaff 
and crosses of two vigorous and easily-grown lilies; L. tigrinum 
and L. umbellatum. The color range is from yellow through to the 
dark reds and much more carefully selected than in many lilies of 
like parentage. Some have upright blooms, others outward facing. 
All are exceedingly interesting. Those included here are Fire- 
flame, Felicity, Tangelo and Joan Evans. They are listed alphabeti- 
cally in the body of the catalogue. 
MOLLY STARK A selected seedling from Grace Marshall. The pendant 
blooms measure to four inches across and are carried on long 
stems in a pyramidal raceme. The color is clear shrimp and ihe 
plant has great vigor and hardiness. Early July. 4 feet. 
Each $2.00 
MRS. HENRY’S RARE NATIVE LILIES = Information on special request. 
NEPALENSE (India) A rare and beautiful lily from the Himalayas. The 
blooms are bell-shaped and pendant, clear greenish-yellow heav- 
ily overlaid with deep wine-purple. It has stoloniferous stems. 
Only moderately reliable. We recommend the use of a great deal 
of humus in the soil and a location that is a bit on the moist side, 
especially in the North. July flowering. Height 4 feet. Each $4.69 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM The Sunset Lily An easily grown and 
brilliantly colored lily from California. The sharply recurved flow- 
ers are rich vermillion, stained deep blood red at the tips, golden 
orange in the throat, and heavily spotted with deep purple. Mid 
July. 3 to 5 feet tall. Each 50c Dozen $5.50 
FELICITY A deGraaff hybrid and one of his most striking lilies. Indeed 
one of the finest of the recent shows. The large outward-facing 
blooms are a cool lemon yellow — a rare and highly desirable 
color in lilies. This is far and away one of the finest of its type. 
Each $2.50 Dozen $25.00 
PARRYI (California) Probably our loveliest native lily with smallish 
canary yellow slender trumpets. This is not a reliable lily in the 
east but will grow—given some shade, a cool location, and mois- 
ture in the subsoil. Each $3.00 
PHILADELPHICUM (Eastern North America) One of our few _ upright 
flowering native lilies and one of the most brilliantly colored. 
The flowers are vivid orange scarlet with large dark maroon 
spots. A woodland lily which does best in acid soil, in partial 
shade where the drainage is especially good. Grows 11/2 feet. 
July flowering. 3 for $1.00 Dozen $3.50 
PRESTON HYBRIDS A group of splendid hybrids by Miss Isabella Pres- 
ton, the Canadian hybridizer, who has worked with lilies for 
years and to whom we are indebted for many fine garden plants. 
BRENDA WATTS One of the very best garden lilies. The plant 
is a bold and brilliant beauty — tall and graceful, bearing 
a long spike of outward-facing blooms, soft orange-red in 
color. Height 5 feet. Each $1.20 Dozen $12.00
