LI LI UM— Continued. 
*japonicum —(krameri) Flowers very beau¬ 
tiful and chaste. Each funnel-shaped, 
about 6 inches long and as much across. 
Delicate flesh-pink, often shaded blush. 
Under ordinary garden conditions grows 
up to 3 ft. high. In well-drained, rich 
woodland soil, always cool and not lack¬ 
ing moisture. 50c each. 
occidentale —The most local of our Oregon 
species, if not of all lilies. Found na¬ 
tively in only a few spots in southern 
Oregon and northern California. Grows 
from 4 to 6 ft. high, with up to 15 flowers 
which are of a glowing crimson, with 
maroon spots in the throat. The buds 
before opening are blood-red. June and 
July. 50c each. 
pardalinum — Our native Leopard Lily, 
with bright scarlet, shading to rich yel¬ 
low flowers, which are spotted purple- 
brown. 4 to 6 ft. June. 25c each. 
pardalinum giganteum —The Sunset Lily. 
Also listed by some growers as L. chin- 
ooki. We were the first to grow this spe¬ 
cies commercially, having secured our 
stock from an old home near the Colum¬ 
bia River. We once, in common with oth¬ 
ers, considered it a hybrid, but the evi¬ 
dences accumulating from a study both 
of the plant itself and its seed projeny, 
points to the contrary. Wm. N. Craig, of 
Boston, author of “Lilies and their Cul¬ 
ture in America”, and one of the world’s 
foremost authorities on lilies, writing 
for the Florists Review, states, “I con¬ 
sider this one of the finest of garden 
lilies.” Under favorable conditions it at¬ 
tains a height of from 7 to 9 ft. The stout 
stems, clothed in luxuriant foliage, hold 
their heads of gorgeous bloom aloft, June 
to Aug. A good idea of the color may be 
obtained from the plate on back cover. 
Plant at least 12 inches deep for best 
results, and in order that they bloom the 
following season, plant before end of 
Nov. 50c, 75c and $1.00 each. 
parryi —One of the world’s finest species. 
Prefers a cool, moist spot, with perfect 
drainage. Slender leafy stems, 2 to 4 ft. 
high, bear up to 25 long, lemon-yellow 
sweet-scented flowers during July and 
Aug. 75c and $1.00 each. 
parvum —A worthy little bog lily which, 
under favorable conditions, grows 4 to 6 
ft. high, with many small, bell-shaped 
flowers, orange at centers with crimson 
tips. Plant at least 10 inches deep, in a 
cool, moist spot, mixing plenty of leaf- 
mold or peat with the sandy soil. 50c ea. 
phillippinense formosanum —Flowers very 
long and trumpet shape. Pure white,

Shuksan —One of the fine hybrids devel-. 
oped by Dr. Griffiths of the U. S. Dept,

humboldti and pardalinum. Has the ap¬ 
pearance of humboldti, but the robust 
constitution of pardalinum. The color is 
a soft tone of salmon-orange, spotted 
at the base with claret brown ranging to 
red at the tips. 5 to 7 ft. Plant about 10 
inches deep. $1.00 to $1.50 each. 
sulphureum — A lovely species from the 
mountains of Burma. Being one of the

dens of late summer and early autumn. 
From one to several large trumpet flow¬ 
ers of sulphur-yellow are borne on tall, 
wiry 5 to 6 ft. stems. Prefers a sandy, 
leaf-mold soil, and plant at least 10 
inches deep. Protect in very cold cli¬ 
mates by mulching in winter, 3 to 4 ft. 
deep. 50c, 75c and $1.00 each.

reddish orange, with red tips and green¬

grassy foliage and many flowers of 
bright scarlet. Plant about 5 inches deep.
