LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE

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. 
1. 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. Flowering bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. Selected large bulbs, $1.00 
each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Parvum (California). A charming alpine lily from the high Sierras carrying 
small bell-shaped flowers of an orange-red spotted maroon. Requires a well 
prepared moist sandy soil with sharp drainage. Plant 4 inches deep in 
partial shade. Height 4 to 5 feet. July flowering. Selected bulbs, 75c each, 
$7.50 dozen. 
L. Philadelphicum (Eastern North America). One of our few upright flowering 
cup-shaped native lilies and likewise one of the most brilliantly colored.
