CULTURE OF GROUP I 
The Lilies of the Humboldtii and the Washingtonianum groups are natives of cool 
slopes in mountainous regions, where they grow in forests, or where protected by a 
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.

soil, and will hold its own for many years. A most showy Lily; 3 to 8 feet high
