L. Humboldtii is a grand and very large Lily with stout stems 4 to even 10 feet in 
height, and a revolute flower orange-red with almost black dots. It docs not want wet 
ground and will seldom flower the first year, although becoming increasingly fine with 
age. Immense bulbs, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. Large bulbs, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz. 
L. Humboldtii magnificum is a superb Lily of same type, with reddish orange flow- 
ers dotted maroon and a bright red circle around each spot. It flowers well the first year 
and is a most satisfactory Lily everywhere. First size, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. Second 
size, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 
L. columbianum is like a miniature L. Humboldtii and is very easily grown in a good 
loam. Flowers readily. From Oregon. 2 l A to 3 feet when established. 20 cts. each, 
$2 per doz. 
L. Washingtonianum purpureum is a form of the Shasta, Mountain, or White Lily, 
as it is variously known, and is a grand Lily, coming out pure white but tinting to pur- 
ple, and very sweet-scented. It will seldom flower the first year, no matter how good 
the bulb or how carefully handled. Good bulbs, 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
