CALIFORNIAN LILIES, continued 



other hand, Liliuin U'a sh inglou in n n m purpureum is a good grower and keeper, and 

 Lilium JSumboldtii magiiificitm cannot be excelled. 



Lilium sulphureum. A magnificent Lily, native of Himalayas. Tall stem, with immense, 

 long, Spreading trumpet, which is while, with creamy throat. Very fragrant. There 

 is no grander Lily know n. It likes well-drained, porous soil, and enough water to 

 keep the surface moist during its growth. Very line bulbs, $i each. 



LILIUM HUMBOLDTII AND ALLIED SPECIES 



Humboldtii. A grand Lily, growing as tall as 10 feet, but usually 4 or 5 feet high, with 

 very stout stem and many large, orange-red flowers, spotted with small maroon 

 spots. Immense, 9 inches and upwards in diameter, 40 cts. each, $4 per do/..; 

 very large, 8 to 9 inches in diameter, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.; line, 7 to 8 inches in 

 diameter, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 



Humboldtii magnificum. A grand species, differing from preceding in darker foliage, 

 in the spots on the flowers being each surrounded by a circle of crimson, and in 

 splendid growing and flowering qualities. It is sure to flower the first year after 

 planting, and is a splendid grower. None better. Good bulbs, 30c. each, $3 per doz. 



Humboldtii Bloomerianum. Like the preceding in color and flowering qualities, but 

 with a very small bulb and a small stem. Very pretty. 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 



Columbianum. Like a miniature L. Tlumholdlii. Bright golden yellow, spotted maroon. 

 2% to 3 feet. Good. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 



Bolanderii. One of the rarest of Lilies; 1 to 3 feel high, slender, with bell-shaped, deep 

 crimson-red (lowers, dotted purple. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 



LILIUM WASHINGTONIANUM AND NEAR SPECIES 



Washingtonianum purpureum. The line half-tone shows the flowers to perfection as 

 to form. They are from white to a rich wine-color and change after opening. Often 

 6 or 7 feet high, with a stout stem and many leaves, and as many as twenty-five 

 flowers. The flowers are very fragrant. The bulbs are easily handled but will 

 not give a good bloom the first year. The Shasta Lily is a variety of this Lily. 

 Large bulbs, 8 to 9 inches in circumference, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.' 



Rubescens (The Redwood, or Chemise Lily). A beautiful and very distinct Lily, having 

 tall, slender stalks and exquisitely fragrant flowers of a tubular shape. On'opening, 

 they are white dotted purple, but soon change to deeper purple and all colors 

 between white and purple will be seen on one stem. To succeed with this, drainage 

 must be perfect. It is not easy. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 



Kelloggii. Three to 4 feet high, with a slender stem and from three to fifteen flowers 

 with pink, revolute petals. Very fragrant. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 



LEOPARD BOG LILIES 



Pardalinum. This is one of the best Lilies for the garden. It grows well in any loam 

 or gravelly soil, in sand, or lighter clays, as long as given some shade and watered mod- 

 erately. The stout stems are very leafy and from 3 to 6 feet high, and the many 

 large and very showy flowers are very richly colored with orange centers and crimson 

 tips, with many spots in the central section. No Lily is more likely to give satis- 

 faction in the garden. Robert Wallace, first among the world's Lily-growers, 

 says of this Lily: " L. Ptirdal in u m and its varieties are certainly among the finest 

 Lilies known. Planted in moist peat, they attain a great height,' flowering in great 

 profusion and increasing rapidly. Though doing best in peat, thev will do well 

 in any garden soil." 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. 



Pardalinum, Glow. This is the finest Lily that I have ever introduced. With the good 

 qualities of Pardalinum, it has a flower in which the upper part is an intense crimson, 

 and the center orange-red, finely dotted with brown. Almost as intense in color as 

 Tenuifolium. $1 each. 



Pardalinum, Defiance. Among the seedlings from Mr. Burbank, I found a very tall 

 form, possibly a hybrid with the general habit of Pardalinum, but the heavily 

 spotted flowers showing much yellow and boldly facing out instead of the nodding 

 habit of the type, I think it a good thing. 30 cts. each" 



Rcezlii. Stem slender, leaves crowded, very long and slender, the closelv revolute peri- 

 anth a clear reddish orange throughout, dotted maroon. A rare 'Lilv, long lost, 

 but reintroduced by myself. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz.
