SUGGESTIONS ABOUT LILIES 
It is pleasing to notice the increasing demand for our Native Lilies. For many years the 
imported varieties were the main lilies in the Nurseryman’s catalogue so many gard' 
eners were not acquainted with our Western varieties. The Lilies which you get 
from us are dug from the gardens here and shipped direct to you. All the varieties 
we list have done well for us and they will for you if you follow the simple in' 
structions. In regard to size of plants there is a great deal of difference, from 18 
inches to 10 feet. Regarding colors, however, there ; are four classes. The largest 
class by far has the orange and red Lilies which are generally referred to by 
the people where these Lilies grow as Tiger Lilies. Then there is a class of Lilies 
which open up white, one . Pink Lily and One Yellow. The four varieties which are 
the easiest to grow are the L. Humboldtii Magnificum, L. Rubescens, L. Parryii and 
L. Kelloggii. These varieties also represent the different colors. 
Do not be afraid to use good sized rocks in the Lily Garden. All of the first group like 
to lie along side of or nestle among rocks. It is surprising how much the moisture in 
the stones keep the bulbs from drying out too much.
