LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
the stem admirably enhanced by the lustrous foliage which is arranged in 
whorls. Plant in sun or part shade at a depth of 6 inches. A porous soil 
abundant in peat or leaf mold suits it best and good drainage is essential. 
July flowering. Strong flowering bulbs, $2.00 each. $20.00 dozen. 
L. Sargentiae (China) A handsome, large flowered trumpet lily rather similar to 
Regale, but blooming several weeks later. The large white flowers are 
suffused with brown externally and the base of the throat is golden yellow. 
Forms bulblets in the axils of the leaves by which it may be propagated. 
Bears up to 15 flowers during late July and early August. Plant 8 to 10 
inches deep in full sun but with a ground cover of low shrubs. Height 4 to 
5 feet. Flowering bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. 
L. Shuksan (Hybrid). This lily is another of the hybrids raised at Bellingham by 
the late Dr. David Griffiths. As in the case of L. Kulshan, the name is 
derived from one of the mountain peaks near the city of its origin. The 
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. Flowering bulbs, $1.25 each. $12.50 dozen. Large 
bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 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 continental form somewhat lighter in color than 
Rubrum. White, flushed pink and rose. Blooms slightly earlier than the 
other varieties. Choice bulbs, 35c each, $3.50 dozen.
