LILIES FOR AUTUMN AND SPRING PLANTING 
L. Sargentiae (China) A handsome, large flowered trumpet lily rather similar to 
Regale, but blooming several weeks later. The large white flowers are 
suffused with brown externally and the base of the throat is golden yellow. 
Forms bulblets in the axils of the leaves by which it may be easily propa¬ 
gated. Bears up to 15 flowers during late July and early August. Plant 8 
to 10 inches deep in full sun but with a ground cover of low shrubs. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Strong bulbs, $2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. Small flowering bulbs, 
75c each, $7.50 dozen. 
L. Shuksan (Hybrid). This lily is another cf the hybrids raised at Bellingham by 
the late Dr. David Griffiths. As in the case of L. Kulshan, the name is 
derived from one of the mountain peaks near the city of its origin. The 
flowers are of the Martagon type colored cadmium, faintly flushed red over 
the end of the petals and dotted black. This lily is one of the best of the 
Griffiths' hybrids. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in a porous soil with good drain¬ 
age and in partial shade. Height 4 to S feet. July flowering. Strong bulbs, 
$1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum (Japan). One of the most popular of all lily species and rightly so. 
These hardy plants bear up to 20 recurved, fragrant flowers on stems from 
4 to 6 feet tall. The foliage is extremely attractive and graceful. All of the 
varieties should be planted deeply, from 9 to 10 inches, and the color is 
best in partial shade. Good drainage is essential. August and September 
flowering. We offer three varieties of this fine lily. 
L. Speciosum Album. A beautiful white form with green stripe down the center 
of each petal. Not quite as tall as Rubrum. Selected bulbs, 50c each, 
$5.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Rubrum. White flowers flushed and spotted with deep rose. The 
most widely grown variety of Speciosum. Flowering bulbs, 25c each, $2.50 
dozen. Extra strong bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Melpomene. One of the finest forms of L. Speciosum. The plants 
carry very dark crimson colored flowers with a white margin. Choice bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Star of Oregon (Hybrid). Another of the L. Humboldtii x L. Pardalinum hybrids 
raised by the Bellingham bulb station. The plants are taller than L. Shuksan, 
attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet and carrying up to 20 reflexed cadmium 
orange flowers thickly spotted black. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in partial 
shade in a well drained location. Flowering period, July. Strong bulbs, 
$2.50 each, $25.00 dozen. 
L. Sulphureum (syn. myriophyllum superbum) (Burma). Easily one of the most 
beautiful trumpet lilies ever introduced. Buds of this lily often measure 11 
inches in length and the flowers upon opening are a pale sulphur yellow 
deepening in color at the throat. The exterior is tinged with claret red. 
Should be planted in full sun in a protected southerly exposure. This lily, 
like L. Bulbiferum and L. Sargentiae, carries bulblets in the leaf axils and 
is best propagated in this manner. The bulblets should be sown in the 
autumn when they are easily removed from the plant. L. Sulphureum suc¬ 
ceeds well as a pot lily under cool greenhouse conditions. Height 5 to 7 
feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in lime free soil. Blooming period, August 
and September. Top growth of this lily does not usually appear before 
mid-June. Medium bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. Extra large bulbs, $2.00 
each, $20.00 dozen.
