PARVUM VAR. LUTEUM. This is a pretty lily with an almost cup 
shaped flower like a small elegans. The color is orange dotted maroon. The 
general habit is like parvinorum. It was figured under this name many 
years ago, but as far as I know has never been offered before.

BURBANK HYBRID LILIES. 
During a period extending over a number of years Luther Burbank, 
who is now recognized as the greatest plant breeder that the world has eve* 
known, selected and hybridized lilies. Jn the course of the experiments fully, 
forty of the best known lilies of the world were used and many hundreds of 
thousands of seedlings grown and flowered. While this experiment utterly 
failed to cross the Japanese lilies with those of the new world or each other, 
it was wonderfully successful in getting fine hybrids among the New World 
species. Only one of these, a series of hybrids between Pardalinum and 
Washingtonianum was introduced by Mr. Burbank. Without his consent 
this medley of hybrids of the same parentage was named L. Burbankii. All 
of the others worthy of perpetuation were put in my care for further selec- 
tion and propagation and in my garden at Lyons Valley and later at my 
new place, TH E TERR ACES, have done well. Propagation from scales is, 
however, a slow process, and it will be long before some of the stocks which 
were represented by a single bulb, will be large enough to send out. There 
are some superb things in the lot, for instance, a light lemon lily of the 
Parryi type and much larger and thriftier, and a golden yellow ' revolute 
lily of great size. 
I can now offer two hybrid types in very heavy fine bulbs. 
1st. Hybrids of PARDALINUM AND HUMEOLDTII. The stalks are 
very heavy and leafy from thick scaled rhizomatous roots, and aften reach 
seven and eight feet in height. The flowers vary greatly from almost clear 
orange tn orange with crimson tip and all spotted. There are a^least fifty of 
these forms which I sell in mixture. All are good. Each jf?4f* f O-O /Z 
2nd. Pardalinum LED GIANT. Its origin is not well known but it is 
a large flowered, very strong growing lily with a bold spotted flower in which 
dark crimson predominates. Each $ 5 0 
TRILLIUMS— WAKE ROBINS OR WOOD' LILIES. 
Trilliums are attractive woodland plants closely allied to true lilies. 
They can be divided into two classes. The GRANDIFLORUM class 
has three leaves from the center of which the flower is gracefully 
borne on a slender stem. They are native to moist woodlands in which leaf 
mold is plentiful. In the SESSILE class the flowers are stemless and set 
closely among the three large leaves. They prefer damp woods or the 
borders of swampy land and are much stronger growers than those of the 
other class.

ERED SPOTS WHERE THERE IS SOME LEAF SOIL AND THE SES- 
SILES IN ANY SHELTERED NOOK CANNOT EE EXCELLED.
