L. Formosanum 
FORMOSANUM (The Incense Lily)— A de¬ 
lightful species from Formosa, having 
long, graceful, trumpet flowers which ex¬ 
hale a sweet perfume suggestive of Orien¬ 
tal incense. The slender tube is usually 
streaked externally with chocolate, some¬ 
times pure white and the widely flaring 
face is always pure white and waxy. One 
of the best trumpet lilies and one of the 
last to flower. In the colder sections plant 
in a warm place so it will flower before 
frost. Plant 6 inches deep in sandy soil. 
3 to 6 feet. September-October. Bloom¬ 
ing size, 25c each, 3 for 70c, 12 for $2.50. 
Selected bulbs, 35c each, 3 for 95c, 12 for 
$3.50. 
FORMOSANUM (Price’s Variety) —An early 
flowering and shorter growing variety of 
the above. 12 to 18 inches. Late July. 
35c each, 3 for 95c, 12 for $3.50. 
HANSONI —A choice Korean species bearing 
many handsome yellow flowers with thick 
petals. Most of the new Martagon hybrids 
have resulted from crosses with this lily. 
It is very hardy and easily grown, but 
should be planted in partial shade, as flow¬ 
ers are inclined to fade in full sun. Plant 
6 inches deep. Height 3 to 4 feet. June. 
40c each, 3 for $1.10, 12 for $4.00. 
HENRYI—The Golden Speciosiun —(See front 
cover.) This fine lily was discovered on 
the limestone cliffs of the Yangtze Gorge 
by Dr. Augustine Henry. Its exotic 
charm, rich color, hardiness and dependa¬ 
bility place it high among the favorite 
garden lilies. In the Northwest it fre¬ 
quently grows 8 feet tall, bearing from 
10 to 20 large, recurving flowers. The 
golden orange color is enhanced by a prom¬ 
inently 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 flow¬ 
ering time is in August. 
Our Oregon grown bulbs are much supe¬ 
rior to imported stock. These exception¬ 
ally low prices offer you an opportunity 
to make an impressive planting at small 
cost: 
Flowering size, 15c each, 3 for 40c, 12 
for $1.50; medium size, 25c each, 3 for 
70c, 12 for $2.50; large size, 40c each, 
3 for $1.10, 12 for $4.00; mammoth size, 
60c each, 3 for $1.60, 12 for $6.00.
