SHELBURNE, VERMONT

September 4, 1934 "*THE TIME HAS COME", THE WALRUS SAID, “TO TALK OF MANY THINGS"'*

-and for the last time in 1934,.we talk about garden planting. xk * Ok OK OX

Every garden needs changing to some extent, and after the long dry summer we have had, many changes are necessary. With the cooler September days, we are sure to have rain, and conditions for planting are excellent. This is our last circular for the year, and many un=- usual items are stressed.

If you are receiving one of these circulars for the first time, let us say, that they are published with reasonable regularity through- out the year. Each suggests what may best be planted in the followng season, and supplements the March issue, which contains the most com= plete list we publish. Additional copies may be hed on request. ‘he usual terms and conditions apply to this circular, and all prices in- clude delivery east of the Mississippi. Add 5% for points west.

NEW LILY, “PRIDE OF CHARLOTTE" For description, see page 5.

SLOPt i= Wheat can you plant now that will give you flowers within se few weeks?

FALL CROCUS - of course.

The following varieties of Crocus may be plented now, and they will begin to produce flowers in a very short time, continuing for se- veral weeks. The foliege will not appear until spring. ‘they ere splen- did to use in the rockery for fall color, and they ere also nicely planted in shrub and perennial borders. They ere just as inexpensive as the spring flowering sorts, which they closely resemble.

We have plenty of extra cuality bulbs on hand for immediate shipment. Send us your order at once, and enjoy the flowers this fell.

SATIVUS. Large, lilac purple flowers, with a showy orange center. ‘rhe flowers appear over a long period, and at 4 time when they are fully appreciated. SPECIOSUS. Bright blue, with deep orange anthers. Slightly larger, and very showy. ZONATUS. Beautiful.large rosy lilac blossoms, with yellow center and an orange zone. a striking teauty, of. delightful coloring.

Above at 10 for 50¢; 100 for $4.00. MIXED. A mixture of above, 10 for 50¢; 100 for $3.50.

and LYCORIS SQUAMIGERA

This hardy Ameryllis is flowering now, but we heve properly ripened bulbs, which can be held dormant for e few weeks longer. As soon as they are planted, they will throw up the tall bere flower spike and produce, et its top, a cluster of tubular pink flowers. The leefy growth will not show until spring. Some prostrate plent, like Thyme, should be used for a ground cover, or they may be planted with Hemero- callts. Andther suggested combination would be to plant the Lycoris with Fall Crocus and Corydalis bulbusa close to Eremurus or Poppies.

Strong bulbs $1.00 each; 10 for $9.00.

--and for the earliest spring flowers we offer-- CORYDALIS BULRUSA -- but plant them at once.

If you are familiar with Dutchman’s Breeches and cén imagine it colored a rosy pink, you héve & very good ides of the appeérence of this little bulbous plent. The roots resemble small Gladioli, and are perfectly hardy in well drained soil. The leafy growth end the flowers

appear very early in spring and by July the foliage hes fully disep- peared. It may be used nicely in crevices of the rockery, later to be covered by trailing plants, and we like it when massed with Coral Lilies or other small lilies that flower in midsummer. We egsin heave a splendid stock of bulbs at 50¢ each; 5 for $1.75; 10 for $3.00.

and EREMURUS (Foxtail Lilies)

LILY “PRIDE OF CHARLOTTE" America's finest new Lily

In “Pride of Charlotte” we have a new lily of the general type of Regal. The flowers closely resemble that variety, but are longer and rather more tubular, as will be noted in the photograph on the cover. The coloring outside is very closely that of Regal, and there is a yellow throat, but the anthers are reddish instead of yellow. It begins to open as Regal reaches its best.

The similarity to Regal ends with the flowers, except, pemeaps, in its astonishing vitality. ‘lhe stem is strongly erect, and does not droop nor grow at an angle from the ground. Both stem and foliage are lighter green than Regal. The leaves sare wider and not so plenti- ful, and bulbils grow along the stem as they do on a Tiger Lily. The flowers droop when in bud, as do those of Sargentiae, but sre carried erect enough so that the interior of the flower can readily be seen when expended. Stems and foliage are particularly herdy, end are not affected by severe frosts, remaining green here in vermont until into November. So woody are the stems thet they retain their structure after two years of lying on the open ground.

The astounding vitality of this lily is its chief cheracter- istic. Not only does it increase itself by bulbils, which grow very readily, but also, it produces a plentiful supply of seeds, which germinate freely and will flower as quickly as those of Hegal. As the bulbs attain size they divide, sending up in time ea cluster of flower stems, but they do not do this until they heave carried a large number of flowers on the single stem.

The exact origin of this new lily will probably always be in doubt. It appeared in a bed of Regals from seed, some of which, at least, had been derived from crosses with other sorts. There are in- dications of the blood of the Tiger Lily, but no definite proof that it is one of the psrents. Seedlings show almost no variation, making it seem a fixed species. We think most likely that it may be 6 re version to an earlier type from which have been derived the Regal, Sargent’s Lily and others of similer neture.

We have been watching this new lily for several years, and when the owner asked us to introduce it, we were very glad of the op- portunity. All bulbs that are sold will pass through our hends. There is en ample quentity available.

The few lily enthusiasts, who have seen these in bloom, have been puzzled as well es pleased. We have reproduced photographs of the individual flower and of the beds, which show, better than any description, the new and desirable chsracteristics we heave mentioned. These photogrephs were made on July 17th, at which time the first flowers were opening, while Regal, as will be noted in one photograph, was at its best.

Strong bulbs in the following sizes will be ready ebout

October lst. They sare perfectly hardy and are best plented at thai time.

10-12" circum. $5.00 ea. 6-8" ciroum. $2.00 ea. 8-10" circum. ¢4.00 ea. 4-6" circum. $1.00 ea. Bulbils (reedy now) 25¢ ea.; 10 for $1.00; Seed $1.00 per packet,

SHELBURNE HYBRID LILIES

This strain is proving more variable than any other hybrid of Regal. It resulted from a4 cross on @n early flowering Sargentiae with the pollen of a late Regal. This is the reverse of the cross which pro- duced the J. G. Creelman Lily, now called L. Princeps. The first seed- lings from this cross varied but slightly from the Regal, although a very few showed distinct Sargentiae characteristics of leaf, stem and axillary bulbils. They were, however, very much later than any Regal form. Last season we sold the last of the first generation seedlings and flowered a few of the second generation, some of which were very lete, as we noted in offering them last yeer.

This year there has been much variation, some show definitely the Regal blood and were fairly early, though not so early as Regal. Others are entirely Sargentiae. In the flowers there is much variation as well, though always they tend to the coloring of Regal. On August 20th there are still buds, which will not be open for another week, and many now setting seed. Several valuable highly colored blooms have appeared, which are being kept for further breeding purposes.

In spite of the occasional early flower, Shelburne Hybrid re- mains the latest lily of its type that we have, and on our sandy soils is far more vigorous than either of its parents. On heavier soils it is marvelous. We have grown a fine lot of bulbs, and are reducing the

prices accordingly.

STRONG BULBS, 6-8 in. cir. $2.00 each; 10 for $17.50; 100 for $150.00. FLOWERING BULBS, 3-5 in. cir. $1.00 ea; 10 for $9.00; 100 for $75.00.

LILIUM PRINCEPS

Princeps is a strong and slightly later Regal. After growing it for several generations from seed, we find the type so fixed that the color of the anthers is about the only variation. Stem, leaf, flower, all are identical with Regal, and the flowering date is from a week to ten days later. We have our original true stock of this lily, and can see no advantage lost in growing it from seed.

STRONG BULBS, 6-8 in. cir. $2.00 each; 10 for $17.50. FLOWERING BULBS, 3-5 in. cir. $1.00 ea; 10 for $9.00; 100 for $75.00

LILIUM REGALE

Regel Lilies are almost t99 weil known to need description. STRONG BULBS, 6-8 in. cir. 30¢ ea; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $20.00.

LILIUM CANDIDUM

The Madonna Lily. A place for this beautiful white lily isin every garden, and in every garden-lovers heart. It need not be planted with blue Larkspur, as is so often urged, for it is charming when massed alone, against shrubs or evergreens. Among Feonies and Phila, or Trollius, or Hemerocallis, it has its place in almost any planting one thinks of. Our bulbs are the very best, North of France grown, that we can procure, end we expect them in mid-September.

JAPANESE LILIES

LILIUM AURATUM. The Gold Banded Lily. A moderate Supply of bulbs, which have grown here, for one season. 35¢ ea; 10 for $5; 100 for $25. LILIUM SPECIOSUM RUBRUM. The Showy Lily. This is the beautiful white and rose colored lily of fall gardens. aA moderate quantity of bulbs of our own growing. 35¢ ea; 10 for £3.00; 100 for $25.00:
