(LILIES— Continued) 
Concolor is a little lily about 18 in. high with rich crimson scarlet flowers 
that face upward. Nice. 40 cts. each; 3 for $1. 
Davuricum is related to L. elegans. On a stem from 1 to 2 feet high are borne 
several very large open cups of orange red, spotted purplish black. A most bril¬ 
liant subject, which catches the eye of all visitors. Of quite easy culture in a 
sunny position and with me it is fine both in a gritty but moist soil and in a 
good loam. 30 cts. each; 3 for 80 cts.; $3.00 per doz. 
Henryii. Sometimes called Yellow Speciosum, is one of the hardiest and 
easiest of the Asiatic Lilies. Stem not too stout and needs support. 4 to 9 ft. 
high. Flowers bright orange. Very fine large bulbs at 50 cts. each; $1.25 for 3. 
Good bulbs, 35 cts. each; 3 for $1.00; $3.50 per doz. 
Martagon Album. One of the rarest and most beautiful of lilies producing 
pyramidal spikes of waxy white flowers with recurved petals. Height 4 ft. 
50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25. 
Phillipinense Formosianum, the Formosa Lily, has long slender trumpets 
5 to 6 in. long with a 2 to 3 ft. stem very leafy with slender grass-like leaves. 
Fragrant and an easy grower. 40 cts. each; 3 for $1.00. 
Regale, is one of the finest Lilies for garden use the world affords. Large 
blooms from stems 1 to 3 feet high. Large trumpet-shaped flowers slightly 
shaded pink on white ground and with primrose-yellow showing through from 
the lower side. Very fragrant. In almost any good garden soil results can be had. 
Here afternoon shade is an advantage, also a light mulch to hold moisture even. 
Superfine quality at prices so low as to be undreamed of for this magnificent 
Lily. Immense bulbs 10 to 12 in., 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.50. Large bulbs, 7 to 10 
in., 35 cts. each; 3 for 90 cts. 
Sulphureum. One of the grand lilies from Burma. From 4 to 8 ft. high, the 
stems carry very many sulphur yellow flowers, very fragrant, and 8 to 12 in. 
long. Fine bulbs, 75 cts.; 3 for $2. 
Tenuifolium, the Siberian Coral Lily, is slender, not over 18 inches high, and 
has bright scarlet flowers with revolute petals. A lovely little Lily, doing well in 
the moist rock garden or the border. Often one finds the statement that this 
Lily runs out and that small bulbs are preferable. I have had fine small bulbs 
and superfine bulbs side by side and the large bulbs gave a much superior bloom. 
Very fine large bulbs, 30 cts. each; 3 for 80 cts; $3.00 per doz. 
Tenuifolium Golden Gleam. A fine golden yellow form of the well known 
“Coral Lily.” 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25. 
Tigrinum is the true Tiger Lily and one long seen in American gardens. Most 
easily grown and most satisfactory, being even easier than Regale. Stem is very 
leafy and foliage dark. The flowers are bright orange, spotted purple. This Lily 
can be distinguished by the small black bulbils at the nodes of the leaves. Very 
fine bulbs, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Umbellatum erectum. Like Davuricum, it is a sturdy growing species but 
with rich red flowers. 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts. 
Willmottiae is from 3 to 6 ft. high and has revolute flowers of vivid reddish- 
orange and graceful foliage. 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25. 
TRILLIUM S 
Trilliums are very attractive plants of the Lily family. The forms known as 
Wood Lilies or Wake-Robins are well known in the East and are fine woodland 
plants. Of these the best is grandiflorum, to be had from most Eastern dealers. 
In the forms of sessile, we have an altogether different tribe and a much better 
one from the standpoint of easy culture and ability to hold their own for years 
in the garden. There is a colony of Trilliums at Ukiah which, with no care, has 
increased in beauty for at least fifteen years, and I have seen many such. 
Time of Flowering. Trilliums are among the earliest of spring flowers.
