LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
flowers are of the Martagon type colored cadmium, faintly flushed red over 
the end of the petals and dotted black. This lily is one of the best of the 
Griffiths' hybrids. A vigorous and handsome plant. Plant 6 to 8 inches 
deep in a porous soil with good drainage and in partial shade. Height 4 
to 5 feet. July flowering. Strong bulbs, $1.35 each, $13.50 dozen. 
L. Speciosum (Japan). One of the most popular of all lily species and rightly so. 
These hardy plants bear up to 20 recurved, fragrant flowers on stems from 
4 to 6 feet tall. The foliage is extremely attractive and graceful. All of the 
varieties should be planted deeply, from 9 to 10 inches, and the color is 
best in partial shade. Good drainage is essential. August and September 
flowering. We offer five varieties of this fine lily. 
L. Speciosum Album. A beautiful white form with green stripe down the center 
of each petal. Not quite as tall as Rubrum. Selected bulbs, 50c each, 
$5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. 
L. Speciosum Erectum. This is the most imposing form we have grown. The 
flowers are considerably larger than Rubrum and a trifle lighter in color. 
As indicated by the name, the flowers turn up instead of down as in other 
types of L. Speciosum. The foliage is very broad and rich and well estab¬ 
lished plants have reached a height of seven feet with us. This type is very 
disease resistant and we can recommend it highly. Blooms about two 
weeks later than Speciosum Rubrum. Selected flowering bulbs, $1.50 each, 
$15.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Melpomene. One of the finest forms of L. Speciosum. The plants 
carry very dark crimson colored flowers with a white margin. Choice bulbs, 
50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Roseum. A selected Holland grown form somewhat lighter than 
Rubrum. White, flushed pink and rose. Blooms slightly earlier than the 
other varieties. Choice bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen. 
L. Speciosum Rubrum (Magnificum). White flowers flushed and spotted with deep 
rose. The most widely grown variety of Speciosum. Flowering bulbs. 35c 
each, $3.50 dozen, $26.00 per 100. Extra strong bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen, 
$38.00 per 100. 
L. Star of Oregon (Hybrid). Another of the L. Humboldtii x L. Pardalinum hybrids 
raised by the Bellingham bulb station. The plants are taller than L. Shuksan, 
attaining a height of 6 to 7 feet and carrying up to -20 reflexed cadmium 
orange flowers thickly spotted black. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in partial 
shade in a well drained location. Flowering period, July. Strong bulbs, 
$2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. 
L. Sulphureum (syn. myriophyllum superbum) (Burma). Easily one of the most 
beautiful trumpet lilies ever introduced. Buds of this lily often measure 11 
inches in length and the fragrant flowers upon opening are a pale sulphur 
yellow deepening in color at the throat. The exterior is tinged with claret red. 
Should be planted in full sun in a protected southerly exposure. This lily, 
like L. Bulbiferum and L. Sargentiae, carries bulblets in the leaf axils and 
is best propagated in this manner. The bulblets should be sown in the 
autumn when they are easily removed from the plant. L. Sulphureum suc¬ 
ceeds well as a pot lily under cool greenhouse conditions. Height 5 to 7 
feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in lime free soil. Blooming period, August 
and September. Top growth of this lily does not usually appear before 
June. Flowering bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen, $45.00 per 100. Selected 
bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen, $56.00 per 100. 
L. Sulphur-Gale Hybrids (Hybrid). A hybrid lily resulting from the crossing of 
L. Sulphureum and L. Regale which flowered first in Europe in 1916. As 
with many hybrids, this plant is somewhat variable but the flowers are 
similar in type to L. Regale, taking on a more creamy tint. This hybrid 
blooms later than Regale and is useful in extending the flowering period of 
that fine lily. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in full sun or partial shade. Height 
4 to 5 feet. Flowering period, July. Choice bulbs, $1.00 each, $10 per doz.
