LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Wardii (Tibet). Often referred to as the Pink Martagon Lily, this lily has been 
listed as L. Duchartrei var. Wardii until recently accorded specific rank. 
Although discovered by Capt. Kingdon Ward in 1924, stocks of this fine plant 
have never been abundant and we are pleased to offer Oregon grown bulbs 
for the first time this season. This is a very beautiful and vigorous lily bear¬ 
ing up to 40 fragrant pink flowers of Martagon type on stems from 2 to 5 
feet tall. The blooms are evenly spotted dark purple and are larger than the 
true Martagon. Best planted 4 to 5 inches deep in partial shade in sharply
