HENRYI (The Golden Speciosum) — 
This fine lily was discovered on the 
limestone cliffs of the Yangtze Gorge 
by Dr. Augustine Henry. Its exotic 
charm, rich color, hardiness and de¬ 
pendability place it high among the 
favorite garden lilies. In the North¬ 
west it frequently grows 8 feet tall, 
bearing from 10 to 20 large, recurv¬ 
ing flowers. The golden orange color 
is enhanced by a prominently green 
nectar furrow in the middle of each 
petal. In burning sunlight the color 
is liable to fade. This is overcome by 
planting in partial shade. Lilium 
Henryi is excellent for cutting. It 
will keep in good condition for two 
weeks or more, until the last buds 
open. The flowering time is in Aug¬ 
ust. 
Our Oregon grown bulbs are much 
superior to imported stock. These 
exceptionally low prices offer you an 
opportunity to make an impressive 
planting at small cost:

12 for $1.50; medium size, 25c each, 
3 for 70c, 12 for $2.50; large size,

HIMALAICUM 
The wooded valleys of the Himalayas 
are the home of this noblest of lilies. 
There, in shady glens sheltered always 
from the direct sunlight, with roots run¬ 
ning freely in the moist leaf-soil, large 
colonies of them may be seen spreading 
their beautiful heart-shaped leaves and 
holding high their long white tubular 
blooms in stately elegance. 
The north side of a building, or the 
shade of trees will suit it well. Plant the 
bulb just below the surface, in soft soil 
rich in humus. Keep it moist during the 
growing season and you will find it com¬ 
paratively easy to grow. In severe cli¬ 
mates spring planting is advisable. An 
established colony wintered well with us 
one year, when many regale lilies were 
killed by freezing. Our home grown 
bulbs are much better than imported 
stock. 
Satisfactory results cannot be ob¬ 
tained by planting flowering - sized 
bulbs. AVe, therefore, supply only good 
sized bulbs to flower the year after 
planting. 8 to 12 feet. June. 
$2.50 each, 3 for $7.00, 12 for $25.00.
