Lilies 
Stateliest and most aristocratic of all garden plants. 
Being hardy, the list of Lilies ordinarily runs with 
the other perennials; but being supplied as bulbs, 
they might be overlooked if not offered nearby other 
spring bulbs—such as Dahlias, Gladioli, etc. No gar¬ 
den could be complete without some representation 
from this noble family. 
Speciosum Rubrum. This is one of the joys of August; ruby spots distributed 
over a broad expanse of white. 30c each; $3.00 per doz. 
Caladium Esculentum 
(Elephant Ear). Extra large bulbs, 
10c each; 10 for 75c; 20 for $1.25. 
Cannas 
Each, 12c; 10 for $1.00; 25 for $1.75. 
City of Portland. Pink—a brilliant, showy shade 
made more attractive by the contrast of the rich 
green foliage. Stately plants 3% ft. tall. 
The President. Vivid scarlet flowers in huge 
trusses. So magnificent is it, so vigorous and 
profuse-blooming, that quite deservedly it is 
considered best of all red Cannas. Massive in 
effect, the plants grow 4 ft. tall, have flowers N 
of gigantic size. 
King - Humbert. Deep purplish brown foliage with 
metallic sheen, in the contrast to the dazzling 
orange-colored blooms. Vigorous and strong, 
free-flowering plants growing 4% ft. tall. 
Yellow King Humbert. Verdant green leaves 
and bright yellow flowers beautifully marked 
with contrasting crimson dots. A conspicuous 
and attractive Canna. 4*2 ft. tall. 
Auratum Lily 
Auratum (Gold-Banded Japan Lily). This variety 
has ever been a great favorite. The flow'er heads 
are large, with broad petals gracefully recurved. 
White, thickly studded crimson-maroon, with a 
wide gold band down the center of each petal. 
Improves with age, and produces a vast amount 
of bloom. Each, 35c; per doz., $3.50. 
Regal. One of the most beautiful of all 
known Lilies. It is a new introduction 
from Northern China, and once it becomes 
generally known it will be used exclu¬ 
sively as an Easter Lily. It is very hardy 
and will bloom outdoors in June or early 
July. Mature bulbs produce from 5 to 15 
flowers on a single stem which retain their 
Regal Lily freshness over quite a long period. 3-year- 
old bulbs, 15c; 10 for $1.00. 
Speciosum Album. Pure white with a green band traversing the center of 
each petal. 30c each ; $3.00 per doz.

general brilliance of July, with from 5 to 40 handsome orange-red blooms.
