Melpomene (Dutch Form)—There has been some dispute as to whether the 
original hybrid Melpomene still exists, but this form so closely resembles it, 
and is so lovely, nurserymen are offering it under that name. It is one of the 
prettiest of the Speciosum varieties, each petal covered completely with dark 
crimson red, except a clear white margin. q 12 25 100

SULPHUREUM —-You really should have it in your garden. It has large sulphur- 
yellow blossoms, blooms late in the season when we need a trumpet lily, and 
is daintily fragrant. In severe climates, Sulphureum should be protected with 
a heavy mulch. It grows 4 to 5 ft. Blooms Aug.-Sept. Plant 8 to 10 in. deep. 
I can give you good fresh Oregon grown bulbs. Supply very limited—orders 
taken subject to stock.

SUNSET (Pardalinum Giganteum) —This is a magnificent red lily. It is worth 
the growing for the foliage alone, and could be called a “Glorified Pardali- 
num”. It thrives in sun or partial shade, needs good drainage, likes ])lenty of 
water during the blooming period, and as a background for other lilies, it has 
no superior. The clear scarlet of this lily blends well with the softer tones 
of the yellow in its throat. Grows 5-8 ft. high. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep.

SHUKSAN —This is one of the Dr. Griffith new hybrids that has made a name 
for itself and is now established in our gardens. The flowers are a yellow 
background with maroon spots and are beautiful for cutting, growing 3 to 5 
ft. high. I’m very fond of this lily. Blooms July-Aug. Plant 8 in. deep.
