WASHINGTONIANUM AUD ALLIED SPECIES. 
GROUP II. 
PUBPUREUM (WASHINGTONIANUM VAR. PURPUREUM) This 
lily has such well marked differences from the type that it cannot well be 
considered other than distinct. The stems are stout and very leafy the 
flowers short trumpet shaped and spreading, the bulb large and with jointed 
scales. In some parts of Oregon they are pure white, in others either tinted 
purple when first blooming or very soon changing to purple. 
It is found at all altitudes in Oregon and in many soils. I have never 
known it finer than in rich soil in grain fields at an elevation of perhaps 
eight hundred feet in a very rainy region. 
I have had such uniformly poor success with handling the type of 
LUium V ashmgtcnianum that I have decided not to offer it again. Prac- 
tically all of the Liiium Washingtonianusm which have been sold for years 
are the var. purpureum from Oregon. That is a sort which is easy to 
handle and a very good grower and I commend it to my trade 
IMMENSE BULLS ARE VERY RARE, 9 to 15 inches circumference. 
$20.00 
LARGE LULLS 8 to 9 inches in cir. $12.00 $90.00 
Good bulbs 7 to 8 inches in cir. $ 9.00 $75.00 
Rubescens. A fine lily with narrowly tubular flowers opening white 
thickly dotted with purple and soon becoming purple. I have seen it 12 
feet high. Rather hard to handle as it is subject to rot. My cultivated 
bulbs are much less subject to rot than collected bulbs. $20.00 
■ ., K ^ LIj ? G1L A slender m ? ^ree or four feet high with as many as 
eight closely revolute flowers of a pinkish tinge finely dotted purple and 
with a d.stmclive fragrance. A lily of my own discovery which is acknowl- 
edged to be one of the most distinct and charming of lilies. $20.00
