July. 50c each. 
pardalinum giganteum— -The Sunset Lily. 
Also listed by some growers as L. chin¬ 
ooki. We were the first to grow this spe¬ 
cies commercially, having secured our 
stock from an old home near the Colum¬ 
bia River. We once, in common with oth¬ 
ers, considered it a hybrid, but the evi¬ 
dences accumulating from a study both 
of the plant itself and its seed projeny, 
points to the contrary. Wm. N. Craig, of 
Boston, author of “Lilies and their Cul¬ 
ture in America”, and one of the world’s 
foremost authorities on lilies, writing 
for the Florists Review, states, “I con¬ 
sider this one of the finest of garden 
lilies.” Under favorable conditions it at¬ 
tains 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. The base of each segment is 
chrome-yellow, spotted maroon and the 
outer portions deep scarlet red. Plant 
at least 12 inches deep. 25c, 50c, 75c 
and .$1.00 each. 
parryi — One of the world’s finest species. 
Prefers a cool, moist spot, with perfect 
drainage. Slender leafy stems, 2 to 4 ft. 
high, bear up to 25 long, lemon-yellow 
sweet-scented flowers during July and 
Aug. 75c and $1.00 each. 
parvum — A worthy little bog lily which, 
under favorable conditions, grows 4 to 6 
ft. high, with many small, bell-shaped 
flowers, orange at centers with crimson 
tips. Plant at least 10 inches deep, in a 
cool, moist spot, mixing plenty of leaf- 
mold or peat with the sandy soil. 50c ea. 
phillippinense formosanum — Flowers very 
long and trumpet shape. Pure white, 
with reddish-brown shading on exterior 
tips of petals, which are recurving. 
Grassy foliage and slender 2 to 3 ft. 
stems. July and Aug. 25c and 35c each. 
regale — Big, fragrant trumpets of white, 
shaded pink and tinted with yellow at 
base, on 3 to 5 ft. stems. June and July. 
15c, 25c and 40c each. 
*rubellum — An early Lily for a shady spot 
in the rockery, carrying small trumpet 
shaped flowers of light pink on 15 inch 
stems. Plant 6 inches deep. 35c each. 
Shuksan— One of the fine hybrids devel¬ 
oped by Dr. Griffiths of the U. S. Dept, 
of Agriculture by crosses between L. 
humboldti and pardalinum. Has the ap¬ 
pearance of humboldti, but the robust 
constitution of pardalinum. The color is 
a soft tone of salmon-orange, spotted 
at the base with claret brown ranging to 
red at the tips. 5 to 7 ft. Plant about 10 
inches deep. $1.00 to $1.50 each. 
sulphureum -— A lovely species from the 
mountains of Burma. Being one of the 
last of the trumpet lilies to bloom, it 
lends its distinctive charm to the gar¬ 
dens of late summer and early autumn. 
From one to several large trumpet flow¬ 
ers of sulphur-yellow are borne on tall, 
wiry 5 to 6 ft. stems. Prefers a sandy, 
leaf-mold soil, and plant at least 10 
inches deep. Protect in very cold cli¬ 
mates by mulching in winter, 3 to 4 ft. 
deep. 50c, 75c and $1.00 each.
