Magnificent 
ONew Htardy Garden Lilies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, 
the romance of the far corners of the earth in which many of them were 
discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild cran- 
nies of America to delight you with their different grace and loveliness, 
their uncommon charm and colors that offer you the pleasure of ‘pointing 
with pride.’’ Growing some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoyment 
and satisfaction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Fiesta Ftybrid Lilies 
A Magnificent and Brilliantly Colored Race of New Lilies 
This new race of seedlings has neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on thin, wiry 
stems. Resulting from crosses between L. Davidi (L. Willmottiae) and related types, 
they are one of the brightest patches of color in our Lily fields during July. The 
colors range from bright yellow through orange to a beautiful dark rich red. The 
latter color is new to this type of Lily. Most of the flowers are of typical recurved 
Turk’s Cap shape and many of the plants have blooms facing outward or some- 
what upward with the petals only slightly recurved. A sun loving group, plant them 
5 to 6 inches deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Propagation is 
most rapid from the numerous underground stem bublets. Award of Merit, Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society, 1946. 
Mixed Colors Only Each 65c, Three $1.80, Doz. $6.50, 25 $12.00 
Fiesta Hybrid Lilies 
Aurelian Hybrid Lilies 
Aurelian Hybrid Lilies 
These hybrids are the result of crosses between Henryi, Sargentiae and 
Sulfureum and vary in shape from short trumpet shaped, bowl shaped to 
those with widely flaring and recurving petals. Cream tinted with yellow 
and apricot centers; some light yellow with apricot centers, all superbly 
beautiful. To assure customers the most widely differing and colored forms 
we offer these under three headings, each type being distinct in form with 
distinct color effects. Only a limited number of bulbs are available. Here 
again the Henryi blood in this strain has made it strong and vigorous. This 
also is a first time offering of a group of Lilies of the future. 
Golden Clarion Each $1.75, Three $4.75, Doz. $17.50 
This type resembles the Trumpet Lily in all respects except in color 
and texture of the flowers. The shading of the petals varies from clear 
butter-yellow down to cream-yellow. These forms are extremely rare 
and scarce at present. They are a magnificent addition to the Trumpet 
Lily group and we predict that these along with the new pink trumpets 
will become, in the very near future, as popular and as widely planted 
as are the Olympic Hybrids today. 
Heart’s Desire Hybrids Each 95c, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.75 
This selection is almost intermediate in shape between the trumpet 
form and the Lilium Henryi shape. They are essentially shallow, widely 
flared and bowl shaped in shades of white, cream and yellow-orange. 
Many of them have a bright orange throat shading to cream-yellow at 
tips of the petals. All are strong growers and will form permanent 
groups. 
Sunburst Hybrids Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75 
This group is made up of the flowers which most closely resemble Lilium 
Henryi in shape. They are much larger and more reflexed than those of 
Henryi and the colors include white, cream-yellow and orange. The 
flowers are of unusual texture and substance. Strong growers and 
permanent.
