Ribs FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 


L. Rubescens (Oregon and California). A native lily which resembles L. Wash- 
ingtonianum but with smaller, more erect flowers with more recurved seg- 
ments. Often referred to as the Redwood Lily. The flowers are tubular and 
white, passing to purple with age. Plant 6-8 inches deep in partial shade 
and loose, gravelly soil. Height 3 to 5 feet. June-July blooming. Selected 
bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. October-November delivery. 
L. Sacajawea (Hybrid). This fine hybrid lily was selected by Dr. David Griffiths 
and is of the same parentage as L. Shuksan, namely L. Humboldtii x L. Par- 
dalinum. In keeping with the other lilies introduced by Dr. Griffiths, this 
plant is named after the Indian guide of Lewis and Clark on their expedition 
into the Northwest. Attaining a height of from 5 to 6 feet, L. Sacajawea 
carries large reflexed flowers deep orange-yellow in color with black spots, 
the stem admirably enhanced by the lustrous foliage which is arranged in 
whorls. Plant in sun or part shade at a depth of 6 inches. A porous soil 
abundant in peat or leaf mold suits it best and good drainage is essential. 
July flowering. Strong flowering bulbs, $2.00 each, $20.00 dozen. October- 
November delivery. 
L. St. Nicholas (Hybrid). <A fine hybrid derived from crossing L. Martagon var. 
Album and L. Hansonii and first introduced in England some few years ago 
by the Hon. Robert James. The flowers are recurved and of a buttercup 
yellow color with few black spots. The inflorescense is pyramidal as in 
L. Martagon var. Album. Best planted in partial shade about six inches 
deep. Height, 3 to 4 feet. June flowering. Stock limited. $5.00 each. 
October-November delivery. 
L. Sarcanthum Hybrids. A fine group of Oregon grown hybrid lilies resulting 
from crosses of L. Sargentiae and L. Leucanthum (L. Centifolium). These 
plants are not all identical but resemble L. Leucanthum in form and stature, 
though generally darker in exterior coloring. The large white trumpets are 
carried on vigorous stems which grow to a height of 4 to 6 feet. July-August 
flowering. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in sun or partial shade. Flowering size 
bulbs, 75c each, $7.50 dozen. Large bulbs, $1.50 each, $15.00 dozen. 
L. Sargentiae (China) A handsome, large flowered trumpet lily rather similar to 
Regale, but blooming several weeks later. The large white flowers are 
suffused with brown externally and the base of the throat is golden yellow. 
Forms bulblets in the axils of the leaves by which it may be propagated. 
Bears up to 15 flowers during late July and early August. Plant 8 to 10 
inches deep in full sun but with a ground cover of low shrubs. Height 4 to 
5 feet. Flowering bulbs, 75¢ each, $7.50 dozen. October-December delivery. 
L. Sceptre (Hybrid). This lily is one of the fine group of hybrids raised by Mrs. 
R. O. Backhouse from crosses of L. Martagon and L. Hansonii. The re- 
flexed flowers are light lemon yellow suffused with light fuchsia purple at 
the tips of the petals and with deep purple spots. The stems reach a height 
of 4 to 6 feet when well established. In our opinion this is one of the best 
of the Backhouse hybrid series. Plant six to eight inches deep in partial 
shade. June-July flowering. Selected bulbs $5.00 each. Stock limited. 
October-November delivery. 
L. Scottiae (Hybrid). A valuable new hybrid lily produced in Canada in 1929 by 
crossing L. Willmottiae with L. Elegans Mahogany. The flowers are midway 
between the parent plants, facing outwards, and are of a bright salmon 
orange shade spotted purple. A fine garden lily of easy culture. Height 
2 to 3 feet. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in sun or partial shade. June flowering. 
Selected bulbs, $1.00 each, $10.00 dozen. October-November delivery.
