UMBELLATUM LILIES 
L. Umbellatwm, Golden Fleece 
An early flowering group of hybrids 
from Lilium Davuricum. Easily grown 
and producing large heads of richly col¬ 
ored, erect flowers in June and early 
July. All the members of this group are 
satisfactory, if only for the reason that 
they will flower abundantly with little 
care and attention. They are seen to 
best advantage when planted en masse. 
The result is a wonderful display of 
rich color which may be combined with 
delphiniums and other perennials to 
produce a telling effect in the border. 
ERECTUM -— A very fine form, producing 
huge heads of bright red flowers. 25c 
each, $2.50 doz. 
GOLDEN FLEECE—-A striking form. Very 
large, clear golden yellow flowers, with a 
blush of scarlet at the top of the petals. 
$1.00 each, 3 for $2.75, $10.00 doz. 
SPLENDIDU.M — The finest of the highly 
colored varieties. Rich vermilion, with a 
contrasting tone of orange-green on the 
reverse surfaces. Very strong growing. 
50c each, 3 for $1.70, 12 for $5.00. 
VERMILION BRILLIANT —The most bril¬ 
liant in color, having large heads of vivid 
blood-red flowers with broad, massive 
petals. 50c each, 3 for $1.35, $5.00 doz. 
SUNSET LILY 
Lilium Pardalinum var. Giganteum. 
This splendid new lily is increasing in 
popular favor each season, having been 
accorded much praise by leading horti¬ 
culturists both at home and abroad. 
It came into commercial culture just 
11 years ago and prior to that time had 
been grown for forty years or more in 
the garden of an old farm near the Co¬ 
lumbia River. Mr. Purdy has thought 
that it might be one of Burbank’s hy¬ 
brids which he distributed a good many 
years ago, but we incline to think dif¬ 
ferently, as a study of the lily and its 
seed progeny indicates that it is not a 
hybrid but a very superior variety of 
Lilium pardalinum. This opinion is fur¬ 
ther substantiated by the fact that a 
California naturalist has discovered a 
nearly identical form in the wilds of 
Humboldt County. 
Vigorous, hardy and dependable, the Sunset 
Lily is one of the most satisfactory ever 
[13 ] 
grown. Under ideal conditions the stalks at¬ 
tain 8 feet clothed with luxurious foliage and 
bearing a dozen or more beautiful flowers (see 
color plate). Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in any 
good garden soil. July flowering, 4 to 6 feet 
tall. PLANT BEFORE NOV. 1st for best 
results. 
Flowering size—50c each, 3 for $1.40, 12 for $5. 
Large—75c each, 3 for $2.00, 12 for $7.50. 
Mammoth size—$1.10 each, 3 for $3, $11 doz.
