LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
available of the others within another season. The fragrant recurved flowers 
of this species are similar to L. Pardalinum but smaller and the plant is" of 
more refined habit. The stems will carry as many as 20 blooms, of vivid 
red spotted mahogany, and the foliage is usually arranged in whorls. Of 
easy cultivation in a fairly light garden soil with good drainage. Plant 5 
inches deep in a sunny situation. Height 3 to 4 feet. June-July flowering. 
Selected bulbs, 60c each, $6.00 dozen. October-November delivery. 
L. Occidentale (Oregon and California). A rare native lily of the west coast 
which is not difficult to establish under garden conditions. The plant carries 
small bell-shaped flowers which are orange red with a maroon spotted 
throat. The petals are much recurved. Plant in soil which is lime free and 
to which peat, or leaf mold, have been added. As with most native lilies, 
partial shade suits it best. Height 2 to 4 feet. Plant 4-5 inches deep. Flower¬ 
ing period, July. Flowering bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. October-November 
delivery. 
L. Ochraceum (Upper Burma). An extremely scarce lily which makes a striking 
plant. The flowers are large rather bell-shaped of a greenish yellow color 
heavily blotched and spotted on the inside with dark purple. Has an un¬ 
usual spicy fragrance. Although probably not hardy under extreme condi¬ 
tions, this lily has proven satisfactory under outdoor culture in this climate. 
Also fine for a ground bed in a cool greenhouse and can be successfully 
grown in large pots. The usual height is 2 to 4 feet, although we have 
specimens this year over 6 feet high. For outdoor culture, plant in a partially 
shaded sheltered position 6 to 8 inches deep. Flowering period, August to 
September. Large bulbs, $2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. November-December 
delivery. 
L. Pardalinum (Oregon and California). One of the most easily grown of Ameri¬ 
can lilies and likewise one of the hardiest. A beautiful plant sending up 
stems from 4 to 7 feet high with narrow leaves arranged in whorls. The 
flowers are much recurved of the Martagon type and are colored deep 
orange shading to crimson at the tips of the petals. Established plants will 
carry 30 flowers. Not particular as to situation but at its best in partial 
shade. Prefers a moist soil during the summer but with good drainage. 
Plant 4 to 5 inches deep. Flowering period, July. Strong single crown bulbs, 
25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Extra large double crown bulbs, 
35c each, $3.50 dozen, $26.00 per 100. October-November delivery.
