CHALCEDONICUM-215-We are happy to again be able to offer 
this brilliant and famous lily, The Red Martagon of Constantinople, 
one of the oldest lilies in cultivation, having been introduced during 
the reign of Queen Elizabeth |. This is a beautiful lily from Greece, 
a gorgeous, waxy, Turk’s Cap Lily, unspotted and nodding, whose 
intense scarlet blooms rival all others of the color. Seems to prefer 
a heavy but well drained loam, well filled with humus, full sun or 
partial shade. Generally requires a season to become established. 
July blooming. Ht. 3 to 4 ft. PD 3 inches. 
3 for $10.35, each $3.75, Doz. $41.00 
CANADENSE Flavum—191-One of the best loved of our native 
lilies, graceful and long lived. Its nodding, bell-shaped blooms are 
a lovely clear yellow spotted chocolate. Give it a sunny spot with 
ample moisture and a soil well filled with humus. An ideal lily for 
naturalizing in moist woodland. June. 4 to 5 ft. PD 4 in.

CHEHALEM Hybrids—216-This is a new strain we introduced in 
1950. They are large shapely trumpets of excellent texture and fine 
quality. Waxy-white to cream in color with throats yellow, apricot or 
pale green. Not spotted. The sturdy five foot stems flower freely 
in July. We look forward to them becoming very popular as they are 
better known. They are top quality. PD 5 in.

DAURICUM WILSONII—APRICOT 
DAURICUM Wilsoni, Tall late form—271-This is an especially valu- 
able lily due to its late flowering when none other of the type are 
in bloom. It’s a beautiful apricot flower and a mass of them start 
flowering in late July and keep it up until well into September. No 
other upright lilies flower this late in the season and these are most 
desirable for the middle or rear of the border. Heights vary from 
3 to 5 feet. Part shade is to their liking. In full sun they do not 
grow as tall. These late lilies make a beautiful show in the garden 
with their many upright, chalice-like blooms. 
3 for $1.95, each 75c, Doz. $7.65 
DAURICUM Wadai-274-A superior form of this fine lily that we 
have not been able to offer for several years. It is early, May-June 
with very large flowers in a fine clear apricot. Ht. 15 to 18 inches. 
This easily grown species has been in cultivation over 200 years, 
which speaks well for its health and vigor. It blooms freely and is 
an excellent flower for the front of the border. PD 4 in.

“The lily’s height bespoke command, 
A fair, imperial flower; 
She seem’d design’d for Flora’s hand 
The scepter of her power.” —Cowper 
CROWS HYBRID-230-Selected seedlings from a magnificent strain 
produced by crossing Regale and Sulphureum. They are huge white 
trumpets with greenish throats and brown to green exteriors. Con- 
tinued breeding has produced yellow and ivory forms as well as light 
pinks (none of the latter are yet available). Established plants carry 
up to 30 huge blooms on 5 to 6 foot stems, opening a week to ten 
days after the Regales are over. PD 6 in.
