pardalinum giganteum —The Sunset Lily. Also listed by some growers as L. chinooki. We were 
the first to grow this species commercially, having secured our stock from an old home near the 
Columbia River. We once, in common with others, considered it a hybrid, but the evidences 
accumulating from a study both of the plant itself and its seed projehy, points to the contrary. 
Wm. N. Craig, of Boston, author of “Lilies and their Culture in America”, and one of the world’s 
foremost authorities on lilies, writing for the Florists Review, states, “I consider this one of the 
finest of garden lilies.” Under favorable conditions it attains 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 above plate. Plant at least 12 inches deep for best 
results, and in order that they bloom the following season, plant before end of November.
