LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. NEPALENSE 
L. Nevadense (California). A native species which has had a variety of names, 
notably L. Pardalinum Minor and L. Parviflorum. It has been recently 
accorded specific rank and named L. Nevadense, of which three varieties 
have been identified as var. Shastensii, var. Fresnii and var. Monmensis. 
For this season we are offering the first named only but hope to have stock 
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, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. October-November 
delivery.
