JILLIAN WALLACE. August Flowering. Here is a variety 
that is a very beautiful addition to the garden. A cross 
between Lilium Auratum “Crimson Queen” and a Spe- 
ciosum. The result being a flower that is more than 8 inches 
across with up to 7 of these huge flowers on strong stems 
5 to 6 feet high. The waxy spreading petals are Tyrean 
rose with a distinct white border for a lovely effect; the 
heavy deep crimson spots are an added feature. Delight- 
fully fragrant and really the finest of the new lilies. Award 
of Merit at the Royal Horticultural Society Show in 1951. 
$6.50 each; $18.00 for 3. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE. June Flowering. A tall and 
stately lily growing upwards of five feet high, bearing 
from 15 to 30 flowers of an orange-yellow tone, lightly 
spotted with purple. The general form of the flower is 
somewhat reminiscent of Hansonii, but the petals are 
wider and stouter, and the flower does not reflex so much 
as in Martagon; this lily is most distinct in character and 
we look upon it as one of the finest hybrids yet raised. 
Fall planting, about 8 inches deep. $4.00 each; $11.50 
for 3. 
PINK SEEDLINGS. July Flowering. The lovely fragrant 
trumpet blossoms are a rose pink on the outside, inside of 
the trumpet from light pink to pure white. Culture is the 
same as for the famous Regale Lily which it resembles 
in plant structure. Very robust. The finest Pink Trumpet 
Lily to date. award of merit 1950. Extra selected bulbs, 
$3.00 each; $8.50 for 3; $25.00 for 10. 
SAMARKAND. July, August Flowering. A 1952 intro- 
duction of special merit. Grows 5 feet tall. Strong erect 
stems have up to 40 perfect blooms on mature plants. The 
blooms, Turk’s cap type, are large and of a burnished 
deep red. It is a glowing color even in full sun and it does 
not fade. A delight in the summer garden. $4.00 each;

SCEPTRE. June Flowering. One of the best of the seedlings 
raised by Mrs. Backhouse, and one of the last to flower. 
As grown in our trial garden the plants were over 6 feet 
in height. This variety is very vigorous and free-flowering. 
It must be seen growing to appreciate its effectiveness. The 
flowers, which are star-shaped, are pinkish buff and freely 
covered with small, dark spots. When better known it will 
prove a great acquisition to the hardy flower border. Fall 
planting, about 8 inches deep. $4.00 each; $11.00 for 3. 
SUTTON COURT. June Flowering. Another Backhouse 
seedling of rare merit. More reflexed than the others. The 
internal surface of the bloom is canary yellow delightfully 
spotted purple, while the exterior of the petals is dis- 
iinctly shaded pink, the whole inflorescence being of a 
most distinct and pleasing appearance. Plant 8 inches 
deep in full sun or partial shade. $4.00 each; $11.00 for 3. 
SPECIOSUM LITTLE STAR. August Flowering. This new 
variety is very beautiful. Rich ruby-carmine, margined 
white, similar to the color of “Magnificum”—the petals 
do not recurve as much as in the “Magnificum” making 
the blooms star shaped. Beautiful broad foliage and fine 
in the garden as well as grown in pots. The star shaped 
blooms make ideal corsages. Plant 8 inches deep in full 
sun or partial shade. $2.00 each; $5.50 for 3. 
THEODORE A. HAVEMEYER. August Flowering. Flowers 
are 5 to 6 inches across, wide open and slightly reflexed; 
clear apricot-buff shading to cream at the tips of the petals.

on strong stems 5 feet and more high. Naturalizes readily 
and we have seen one plant that grew over ten feet high 
with more than 50 perfect blooms. Very beautiful. $7.50 
each; $20.00 for 3.
