L. Douglas Ingram 
Griffiths Hybrids 
The late Dr. David Griffiths of the 
U. S. Bureau of Plant, Industry, whose 
death last March was a great loss to hor¬ 
ticulture, spent years of patient, skillful 
toil upon lilies. From thousands of hy¬ 
brid'seedlings grown to flowering size, 
among others, the following five varieties 
were selected and propagated. They are 
all Western American hybrids contain¬ 
ing blood of Pacific Coast native lilies 
only. These varieties show strong re¬ 
semblance to L. Humboldtii, but are 
much more tractable than that beautiful 
California species, the bulbs possessing 
more of the vigor of L. pardalinum. 
Uniformly priced, strong blubs $1.25 
each, 3 for $3.50, 12 for $12.50. 
SPECIAL OFFER—1 each of 5 varie¬ 
ties (blooming size) $5.00. 
KULSHAN —This variety, bearing the Indian 
name of Mt. Baker, famous snow peak near 
Bellingham, is the tallest growing, often 8 
to 9 feet. The flowers are cadmium-orange, 
thickly set with small maroon spots, re¬ 
sembling L. Humboldtii. 
DOUGLAS INGRAM —A very distinct and 
beautiful variety. Segments are cadmium- 
yellow at the base, shading to orange- 
rufus at the tips with spots of garnet- 
brown zoned with red. Like all of these 
hybrids, the inflorescence is of tall pyra¬ 
mid form. 
SACAJAWEA —Dedicated to the memory of 
the brave Indian woman who piloted 
Lewis and Clark through the great North¬ 
west. Tall and robust, leaves distinctly 
whorled, flowers capucine yellow with 
spots of oxblood red arranged in a pattern 
suggestive of Indian art. 
SHUKSAN —Named for a beautiful snow- 
peak of the Cascade range, this is the most 
prolific and easily grown of all. The 
ground color of the flower is capucine 
yellow and the spots, larger than those of 
Kulshan, are claret-brown at base, shad¬ 
ing to Morocco-red at tips of segments. 
Those who have failed with L. Humboldtii 
will find in this grand lily a superior sub¬ 
stitute. 5 to 6 feet. 
STAR OF OREGON— A tall, robust variety 
bearing 14 to 20 flowers, cadmium-orange, 
spots black zoned with red.
