LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
partial shade suits it best. Height 2 to 4 feet. Plant 4-5 inches deep. Flower¬ 
ing period, July. Flowering bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. Special selected 
stock, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Ochraceum (Upper Burma). An extremely scarce lily which makes a striking 
plant. The flowers are large rather bell-shaped of a greenish yellow color 
heavily blotched and spotted on the inside with dark purple. Has an un¬ 
usual spicy fragrance. Although probably not hardy under extreme condi¬ 
tions, this lily has proven satisfactory under outdoor culture in this climate. 
Also fine for a ground bed in a cool greenhouse and can be successfully 
grown in large pots. The usual height is 2 to 4 feet, although we have 
specimens this year over 6 feet high. For outdoor culture, plant in a partially 
shaded sheltered position 5 to 6 inches deep. Flowering period, August to 
September. Extra large bulbs, $2.50 each, $25.00 dozen. 
L. Pardalinum (Oregon and California). One of the most easily grown of Ameri¬ 
can lilies and likewise one of the hardiest. A beautiful plant sending up 
stems from 4 to 7 feet high with narrow leaves arranged in whorls. The 
flowers are much recurved of the Martagon type and are colored deep 
orange shading to crimson at the tips of the petals. Established plants will 
carry 30 flowers. Not particular as to situation but at its best in partial 
shade. Prefers a moist soil during the summer but with good drainage. 
Plant 4 to 5 inches deep. Flowering period, July. Strong bulbs, 25c each, 
$2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Extra large bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen, 
$26.00 per 100. 
L. Pardalinum Giganteum. This lily is also commonly known as the ''Sunset 
Lily" and authorities believe it is a natural hybrid having L. Humboldtii as 
one of the parents. An extremely robust, hardy variety growing from 5 to 7 
feet tall and carrying flowers of a much deeper red than the true Par¬ 
dalinum. The petals are thickly covered with deep purple spots and the 
center of the flower is a deep golden color. Same culture as L. Pardalinum. 
Flowering period, July. Strong flowering bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 
per 100. Extra large bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen, $56.00 per 100. 
L. Parryi (California). A lovely lily which is quite distinct from our other natives. 
The flowers are funnel shaped, the petal tips gracefully recurving. In color 
they are lemon yellow lightly dotted brown and with a very pleasing 
fragrance. Although not of the easy culture of many other species, it is 
well worth the extra care in growing. It should be planted in lime free soil 
in part shade and well watered during dry summer weather. Sharp drain¬ 
age is imperative. Does best when provided with a ground cover of low 
growing shrubs. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep. Height 3 to 6 feet. July flower¬ 
ing. Selected flowering bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Philadelphicum (Eastern North America). One of our few upright flowering 
cup-shaped native lilies and likewise one of the most brilliantly colored. 
Bears vivid orange scarlet flowers with large dark maroon spots on stems 
1 Vz to 3 feet high. A woodland lily which should not be planted in the open 
border. Does best in a partly shady position with fast drainage and some 
protection from heavy winter rains. Plant 5 inches deep. Flowering period, 
June to July. Does not produce a large bulb. First size bulbs, 25c each, 
$2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. 
L. Pomponium (Maritime Alps). Closely allied to L. Chalcedonicum but an earlier 
bloomer, this lily produces Martagon type flowers of a brilliant sealing wax 
red on stems three to four feet tall. Quite easily grown if given a well 
drained sunny location. Will do well in rather heavy, calceolarious soil. 
Plant 5 inches deep. June flowering. Selected bulbs $1.00 each, $10.00 doz. 
L. Princeps G. C. Creelman (Hybrid). This is undoubtedly one of the finest of 
the Regale X Sargentiae hybrids now in commerce. The plant produces 
extraordinary heads of trumpet shaped flowers in late July, somewhat after 
L. Regale has finished blooming. The flowers, of great substance, are white
