LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Humboldtii var. Bloomerianum. A dwarf variety of L. Humboldtii, which is a 
native of altitudes up to 5,000 feet in Southern California. More adaptable 
to garden conditions than the foregoing type but growing only 2 Vi to 4 feet 
tall. Similar in coloring and cultural reguirements. Large bulbs, $1.00 each, 
$10.00 dozen. 
L. Humboldtii var. Magnificum (syn. var. Ocellatum). This is undoubtedly the best 
form of L. Humboldtii for general garden use. An extremely strong plant 
which flowers more freely than the type and is more easily established. The 
large reflexed flowers are of a golden orange color dotted maroon, each dot 
bordered by a crimson circle. The dark green foliage is most attractive and 
is borne in whorls upon the stem. The large bulbs may be planted quite 
deeply—8 to 10 inches being recommended under ordinary conditions. Best 
situated in a sunny position associated with a dwarf ground cover. Height 
4 to 6 feet. July flowering. Strong flowering bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 doz. 
Large bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. Japonicum (L. Krameri) (Japan). One of the few pink lilies in cultivation. An 
exquisite trumpet-shaped species bearing from two to five choice blooms on 
stems from 2 to 4 feet high. The flowers vary from pale to deepest pink, 
6 inches or more in length. Fragrant. Best planted in a location protected 
from strong winds with partial shade and sharp drainage. Plant 6 to 8 
inches deep. June-July flowering. Selected bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen, 
$38.00 per 100. October-December delivery. 
L. Kelloggii (California). A remarkably attractive lily similar to L. Martagon in 
growth. The flowers are much more reflexed, fragrant and pale pink in 
color with a yellow stripe through the center of each petal. They are finely 
spotted maroon. The foliage is whorled. Plant in partial shade in a loose 
woodland soil. Good drainage must be provided. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep. 
Height 2 to 3 feet. June-July blooming period. Selected flowering bulbs, 
$1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. October-November delivery. 
L. Kulshan (Hybrid). A new hybrid lily introduced through the efforts of the late 
Dr. David Griffiths. This Humboldtii x Pardalinum cross is named after one 
of the mountains of the Bellingham, Washington, region. The plants carry 
spikes 5 to 6 feet high with 10 to 20 cadmium orange flowers densely spotted 
black. A fine garden lily having many of the best attributes of its parents. 
Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in partial shade. Flowering period, early July. 
Strong bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. October-November delivery. 
L. Lillian Cummings (Hybrid). This very fine hybrid lily was raised by Miss 
Isabella Preston at the Dominion Experimental Farm, Ottawa, Canada, and 
resulted from a cross between L. Willmottiae and L. Dauricum. The plant 
carries large reflexed flowers of a light orange red held more horizontally 
from the stem than the usual Martagon type flower and indicating the effect 
of- the combination of flower habit of its parents. This lily is extremely vigor¬ 
ous, growing to a height of from 4 to 5 feet and we are pleased to recom¬ 
mend it as a valuable addition to any collection. Plant in sun or partial 
shade and 6 to 8 inches deep. July flowering. Stock limited. Flowering size 
bulbs, $3.00 each. October-November delivery. 
L. Longiflorum (Japan). We list several forms of the well known florist's Easter 
lily, most of which are not only excellent for forcing, but are likewise with 
proper attention easily established under outdoor culture, where the flowers 
are usually much larger than when greenhouse grown. September-December 
delivery. 
L. Longiflorum Albo Marginatum. An unusual variety with bluish green leaves 
set off with wide white margin. Excellent for pot culture in a cool green¬ 
house and hardy in this climate. Height, 15 to 18 inches. For out-door 
planting, set the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep in a warm sunny situation. Flowers 
are pure white with golden anthers. Blooming period, July. Flowering 
size bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen.
