SUGGESTIONS ABOUT LILIES 
It is pleasing to notice the increasing de¬ 
mand for our Native Lilies. For many 
years the imported varieties were the 
main lilies in the Nurseryman's cata¬ 
logue so many gardeners were not ac¬ 
quainted with our Western varieties. The 
Lilies which you get from us are dug 
from the gardens here and shipped di¬ 
rect to you. All the varieties we list 
hove done well for us and they will for 
you if you follow the simple instructions. 
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 ore 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. Hum- 
boldtii 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.
