GREEN MOUNTAIN SELECT HYBRIDS. July, August 
Flowering. These fine trumpet hybrids were produced by 
that great Lily enthusiast the late Dr. L. Horsford Abel; 
they consist of the finest selection of white trumpet of 
his time. The flowers vary greatly, some being long and 
tubular and others short and wide open; the flowers like- 
wise vary in color, being white, cream, yellow, orange or 
greenish throats; the outside of the flower is very similar 
to the Regale. The extended flowering period is also another 
fine quality. They remain in flower 4 weeks and more. 
Heights vary from 4 to 6 feet, with many flowers per stem. 
Plant 10 inches deep. Extra-selected bulbs, $1.50 each; 
$4.25 for 3; $12.50 for 10. 
HENRYI CITRINUM (var. “John T. Scheepers’). July 
Flowering. This variety was exhibited at the Royal Hor- 
ticultural Society Lily Conference in London as Lilium 
Henryi (var. “Citrinum”), and created a sensation at that 
time. It is a cross between Lilium Henryi and Pardalinum 
Roezli. It is the most refined citron-yellow with bright red 
stamens. The color contrast between the stamens and the 
flower is very pleasing. The flowers are larger than Lilium 
Henryi, but otherwise it has the same growth and habit 
and blooms at the same time. Stem-rooting. Plant 10 inches 
deep. $4.00 each; $11.50 for 3.
