L. WASHINGTONIANUM PURPUREUM 
This is perhaps the most attractive of the 
American Lilies, hut is not easy to grow. Some 
of the trouble has been due to the use of col¬ 
lected bulbs. I have little trouble in moving 
seedlings. The flower stems are three to six feet 
high and the foliage is in whorls. Good plants 
often carry twenty to thirty flowers. The pink 
tinted buds open to white bell shaped flowers 
with numerous fine purple dots. As the flower 
ages it turns pink, then purple. Fragrant. June 
blooming. 
HYBRIDS 
The U. S. Bulb Station at Bellingham under 
the direction of Dr. Griffiths has produced some 
excellent hybrids. Five of these were dissemi¬ 
nated in 1931. Of these I consider Shuksan espe¬ 
cially valuable. It has the magnificent form and 
color of Humboldti, combined with the easy 
handling qualities of Pardalinum; the other 
parent. 
I offer two-year-old bulbs to bloom next year. 
Correspondence solicited from those interested. 
I also have several other varieties in quanti¬ 
ties too small to list. Ask for prices on any Lilies 
you need.
