CALIF0RNIAN LILIES. 
In the number and beauty of its lilies, California ranks next to Japan. 
Our Humboldtiis are among the most stately of World's Lilies. None 
excel our Washingtonianums in exquisite fragrance. Our Paraalinum is the 
best of all that the world produces in its adaptability to ordinary garden con-

would be placed by a large majority of the world's growers among two or 
three most lovely of all known species. 
My specialty is California Lilies and at The Terraces is the larg- 
est and most complete collection in the world. It is worth a long journey to 
be there when the thousands upon thousands of plants are at the height of 
their flowering season. 
California Lilies can well be divided into four sections according to 
their affinities, and into two groups as to their culture. 
CULTURAL 
GROUP I. 
The Lilies of the Humboldtii and Washintonianum groups are natives 
of cool slopes in mountainous regions, where they grow in the forests or 
where protected by growth of shrubs. The soil is deep, perfectly drained, 
composed of clay or a rich loam, mixed with leaf soil and the debris from 
broken down rocks. 
In cultivating these lilies we should take lessons from nature, first — as 
to the situation of the lily bed. 
They should be planted where they are protected from the cold winds, 
and the soil is not dried out by the direct heat of the sun. On large grounds 
the ideal location is a glade in woods, but the partial shade of deciduous 
trees, the shelter of rhododendrons or bamboos, or similar shrubs, or of tall
