Two iiew Lilies, produced by 

 the U . S. Dept. of Agriculture! 



Shukshan 



To those familiar with Lilium Huiiiboldtii this new 

 lily might be easily visualized as a great improve- 

 ment, with extremely large flowers of a soft tone of 

 salmon-orange, and with a lesser number of spots. 

 The feAV spots present are of large size and confined 

 largely to the central portion of the flower. Shuk- 

 shan is a loosely built flower, produced on stiff but 

 slightly willowy stems. It is one of the easiest doers 

 in our collection of new hybrid lilies, and will thrive 

 in sun or semi-shade, is not particular as to soil as 

 long as it is not too wet or hardpan. Plant about 10 

 inches deep or perhaps slightly deeper in the north- 

 eastern part of the country. Height, up to 6 feet. 



Each 75c, three for $2.00 



KULSHAN 



Very much like the foregoing in all respects, ex- 

 cept that it is very heavily speckled with soft brown- 

 ish spots. Not quite as tall. The same type of hybrid, 

 and should be accorded the same treatment. This is 

 being offered for the first time this year. Very lim- 

 ited stock. Each $1.00,' three for" $2.50

SULPHUREUM 



One of the rarest and grandest of all lilies. It is 

 among the last to bloom, the flowers being produced

in September. Color inside is pale sulphur yelloAV. 

 becoming more intense yellow in the throat. There 

 is a greenish gleam inside the flower contrasting 

 remarkably with' the yellow tone, and the exterior is 

 streaked and shaded reddish brown. The individual 

 blossoms are enormous, attaining a length of ten to 

 twelve inches. Height five to seven feet. As it is 

 stem rooting, it should be planted very deep, ten 

 inches at least, and in cold sections it should be 

 covered with a mulch in winter. Our bulbs are grown 

 right here in Oregon, and are of wonderful size. Very 

 limited stock. Each $1.50, three for $4.00 



Lilium sulphureum 



I measured one of the best stems today and found it to be 

 S feet in height and carrying seven magnificent trumpet- 

 sliaped flowers each 8 inclies in length and the same across 

 the slightly recurved mouth, the spread of the horizontally- 

 disposed blooms being 2 feet. 



The soil in which the bulbs were planted consists of 

 heavy and rather soapy loam, to which was added a little 

 leaf-mould and sand. This was necessary as the natural 

 soil here is sandy clay. 



As this Lily grows so tall and slender — the stem is not 

 more than % inch in diameter — and blooms rather late, it 

 is advisable to plant on the sheltered side of a wall or shrub 

 in order that the huge flowers may be protected from the 

 autumn gales. One of the groups in question faces full east 

 with a 10-foot bush of Erica arborea in its rear, which 

 breaks the strong gales we have from the west at this 

 season of the year. 



This fine, hardy Lily was discovered by Mr. W. Boxall in 

 Upper Burma, and this gentleman sent bulbs to Messrs.
