LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Henryi (China). A fine Chinese species often referred to as the "Orange Speci- 
osum". Extremely hardy, vigorous and dependable. The stems carry bright 
golden yellow reflexed flowers spotted brown, often more than 20 to each 
plant. Excellent for cutting. Height 5 to 8 feet. Plant 8 to 10 inches deep in 
partial shade with good drainage but plenty of moisture during the growing 
season. Blooming period, August to September. Strong flowering size bulbs, 
25c each, $2.50 dozen, $18.00 per 100. Large bulbs, 40c each, $4.00 dozen, 
$30.00 per 100. Extra selected mammoth bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen, 
$56.00 per 100. October-December delivery. 
L. Humboldtii (California). One of the most striking of our native American lilies 
and, although possibly a trifle more difficult to grow to perfection, well worth 
any special care expended on it. The stout stem rises to a height of from 
4 to 6 feet and carries up to 15 orange yellow recurved flowers which are 
spotted maroon or purple. L. Humboldtii is slow to establish itself and may 
not flower the first season after transplanting. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in 
sun or partial shade. Sharp drainage is essential and the situation should 
be protected from strong cold winds. July flowering. Selected bulbs, 75c 
each, $7.50 dozen. October-November delivery. 
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 21/2 to 4 feet 
tall. Similar in coloring and cultural requirements. 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, S1.00 each. $10.00 doz. 
Large bulbs, $1.50 each. $15.00 dozen. 
L. Japonicum (syn. 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, 515.00 dozen. October-November delivery.
