PERENNIALS AND CALIFORNIA BULBS 
35 
LILIES, continued 
L. rubescens is the Redwood Lily or Chaparral Lily of the Northern Coast Range 
and the redwood country. It is a wonderfully beautiful flower, tubular, and opens white 
flecked with brown, turning to deep wine eolor so that all shades will be on one stem - 
very fragrant. It seldom flowers well the first year but can be established to do wonder- 
fully in the right location, which is a well-drained loam in light shade. 40 cts. each, 
$4 per doz. 
L. Kelloggii is the rarest of western Lilies, and in stem and bulb like the last, but the 
flower recurves like a Leopard Lily. Pink flecked brown and very fragrant with a pecu- 
liar sweetness unlike any other. 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 
L. pardalinum is the strongest growing and most easily cultivated of the western 
Lilies and one of the best in the world. On the Pacific Coast it can be grown in any 
garden where moderate watering can be done and the soil is of any decent quality. This 
is the Lily seen next the water's edge in coast streams. The root increases each year to 
form large colonies, and the stems, 3 to even 7 feet in height, bear a number of recurved 
flowers with red tips and orange centers spotted with maroon. 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz. 
L. Parryi has foliage like the last and, like it, comes from stream-sides, but it is not 
nearly so easily grown. The lovely clear yellow trumpet-shaped flowers are very fra- 
grant. Large bulbs, $1 each. Good bulbs, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz. 
L. parviflorum is like a small L. pardalinum. Same soil and treatment. 40 cts. each, 
$4 per doz. 
L. parvum is a small Lily of the high mountains with red-and-orange tubular [lowers. 
25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
L. parvum luteum is rather stronger and yellow. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 
Trilliums 
Trilliums are known as Wood Lilies or Wake Robins and arc delightful woodland 
bulbous plants with three leaves and a single flower in the center. They are easily grown 
and form colonies and stay for years. 
Sit., shade. Soil, any loam. Prop., seeds; but take three to four years to flower. 
PL, October to February, 6 to 12 inches apart and cover with 2 inches of soil. Do not 
leave bulbs exposed after receiving them, but plant at once. 
T. ovatum has a pure white flower on a short stem, and it turns purple as it ages; 
fragrant. This is the Wood Lily of the Coast forests from San Francisco northward. 
T. sessile has its flower setting close down into the intersection of the three leaves. 
It is a splendid garden plant and likes a good loam, even if rather wet in winter. 
T. sessile, var. californicum is pure white. 
All the above at 6 cts. each, 60 cts. per doz., $4 per 100 
Hyacinths 
1 have a good stock of home-grown bulbs. They produced exceptionally fine flowers

second size. They will make fine beds and good pots.

I have a very fine, clean, and strong stock of home-grown bulbs. They are not as 
large as the giant imported, but they give the very best results and out of proportion 
t>> their size. 1 can recommend them.
