Bolanderii. One of the rarest of lilies. 1 to 3 feet high, slender, with bell¬ 
shaped, deep crimson red flowers dotted purple. I ha ve not as yet a stock 
of cultivated bulbs of this. The collected bulbs are from woodland among 
rocks, and nearly all of the bulbs are more or less worm eaten. Customers 
must order with the understanding that this is so. $20.00 $150.00 
SUCTION II. WASH INGTON 1 ANUM AND ALLIKI) SPEdES. 
Washingtonianum. A grand lily from four to eight feet high. The leaves are 
few in distant whorls. The numerous dowers are pure white, and with a 
most pleasing spicy fragrance. The blossoms are long trumpet shaped, the 
p dais narrow and well seperated from each other. The bulb is large and 
never with jointed scales. It is not nearly as good a grower as Purpureum 
although prettier. The bulbs are very large and too liable to soft. rot. 
While I would recommend it for its beauty, a dealer should prefer Pur¬ 
pureum for its easier handling, $11.50 $N5.U0 
Var Minor. 'The Shasta Lily. A most (diarming variation found about the 
base of Mt. Shasta in Northern California.. The flowers are very fine, the 
stem slender, and the bulbs less than one quarter the size of those of the 
typical Washingtonianum, alt hough quite as doriferous. $8.50 
Purpuruem. ( L. Washingtonianum var purpureum.) This splendid lily has 
well marked diderences from the old species and cannot well be considered 
otherwise than as a distinct sort. The bulb is solid and the scales always 
jointed, the stem is very stout and leafy, the leaves are many in a whorl 
and the whorls crowded, the dowers are in a short trumpet, the petals 
broad and closing the throat. In color this lily varies. 'There are regions 
where it is as pure a white as the Washingtonianmns of the Sierras and 
which never color with purple at. all. In other localities the flowers either 
open white and very soon turn purple, or with the petal Hushed purple and 
soon becoming deep purple. 
It is a native of all of Oregon from the Cascades west, and is a far better 
grower than the others. A DEALER SHOULD ALWAYS PREFER IT 
FOR THE FACT THAT 'THE BULBS CARRIES SPLENDIDLY 
WITHOUT ROTTING. Every year I have cases of these bulbs on the 
read from here to Europe, from two to three months without Any 
Loss, and it is rare that I lose a single bulb by decay in transit. 
Neither in the regions where my collectors find them, nor in my garden, 
do I find the very large bulbs that I formerly supplied. Of 2200 collected 
bulbs last fall, all flowering, there were not over -100 over 8 inches in dia¬ 
meter, w hile in my garden, where they luxuriate, few bulbs as large as 8 
inches can be found. On this account 1 have been compelled to change the 
standard. Either the pure w hite or purple form supplied.
