SUNSET LILY 
Lilium Pardalinum var. Giganteum. 
This splendid new lily is increasing in 
popular favor each season, having been 
accorded much praise by leading horti¬ 
culturists both at home and abroad. 
It came into commercial culture just 
12 years ago and prior to that time had 
been grown for forty years or more in 
the garden of an old farm near the Co¬ 
lumbia River. Mr. Purdy has thought 
that it might be one of Burbank’s hy¬ 
brids which he distributed a good many 
years ago, but we incline to think dif¬ 
ferently, as a study of the lily and its 
seed progeny indicates that it is not a 
hybrid but a very superior variety of 
Lilium pardalinum. This opinion is fur¬ 
ther substantiated by the fact that a 
California naturalist has discovered a 
nearly identical form in the wilds of 
Humboldt Countv. 
Vigorous, hardy and dependable, the Sunset 
Lily is one of the most satisfactory ever 
grown. Under ideal conditions the stalks at¬ 
tain 8 feet clothed with luxurious foliage and 
bearing a dozen or more beautiful flowers (see 
color plate). Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in any 
good garden soil. July flowering, 4 to 6 feet 
tall. PLANT BEFORE NOV. 1st for best 
results.
