NATIVE LILIES OF THE EASTERN UNITED STATES 
I can offer superior bulbs of the best liHes of this class. They are all 
from the Allegheny mountains and will thrive under the culture recom- 
mended for the second group of Cali fornians.

pendent flowers, heavily spotted with brown. 15c each; $1.50 per dozen. 
L. Superbum. The Eastern Bog Lily. Perianth yellow, tipped red and 
heavily spotted brown. Growing to 5 or 6 feet in height and, at its best, 
a grand lily. 1 do not find it ncarlj^ as good a grower as L. Pardalinum.

bell-shaped flowers. 25c each; $2.50 i)er dozen. 
TRILLIUMS 
Trilliums are attractive plants, closely related to the true Lily. They 
can be divided into two classes: The Grandillorum class are from wood- 
lands, and grow in a cool, damp soil, rich in mold. The Sessile class are 
nati\es of much heavier soils. Usually they are to be found growing on 
the margins of streams, ponds or bogs. They are extremely hardy, thrifty, 
and the best are very satisfactory plants to grow in any cool, shaded corner 
of the ordinary garden, where they flower very early and last a long time, 
and are altogether easy growers. 
For naturalization the Sessiles, on the borders of streams, ponds, or 
bogs, are among the very best plants known. 
SESSILE FORMS 
Sessile, var. Californicum. A grand plant, i'ure while with purplish 
tinge at center. Very strong grov.'ing. 5c each; 50c per dozen. 
Var. Snow Queen. The best of all. With the large habit of the Cali- 
fornicum, i)etals broad, pure white tinged cream, and with creamy center. 
The linest of bog Trillimiis. 5c each: 50c per dozen. 
AMERICAN COWSLIPS 
(DODECATHEONS) 
These dainty plants are among the most cli;irming wild flowers of 
California. With our fall rains the\' begin to grow, and the first mild days 
in the early spring bring their sweet blos>oms. They ripen early with us 
and in the' summer the spider-like roots become so dry that they break 
at the touch, but a little moisture quickly starts them into life agani. All 
are beautiful, and California .gives a charming variety in color and habit. 
There is ;i bog-growing form in the high mountains (JetTreyii) which I 
do not handle. 
I'nther as pot plants for forcin.g, or in the garden, the}' are easily grown 
and pleasing. Any ordinary g;irden soil will do, although they thrixe best 
in a sheltered (not necessarily shaded) situation, in loose, well-drained soil 
in which there is a mixture of I'otted leaxes. 
Clevelandii. One of the best. Tall-growing, with line flowers, pure 
white, or delicately suffused with ])ink. I cannot supi)ly the ])ure white 
variety separately. 4c each: 40c per dozen. 
Hendersonii. The best red species. i\-itulum x'ellow. 
3c each; 25c i)er dozen.
