L. TIGRINUM SPLENDENS 
L. Umbellatum Apricot. A stocky plant carrying umbels of bright apricot colored 
flowers. Very showy. 75c each, $7.50 dozen. 
L. Umbellatum Chief Chinook. The most outstanding variety we have had the 
pleasure of growing, this lily is being offered for the first time this season. 
It was originally developed in northern Washington by Mrs. Mary Agnes 
Searles at her Clearbrook ‘Variety Garden’ with the encouragement of 
Dr. David Griffiths, who was then director of the Experiment Station at 
Bellingham. Through the efforts of Mr. Albert Booman of Lynden, Wash- 
ington, we have been able to secure Mrs. Searles’ original stock for intro- 
duction. The variety name ‘Chief Chinook"’ has been selected in keeping 
with Dr. Griffiths plan to identify lilies developed in the Pacific Northwest 
by names of people or places connected with its history. The upright flow- 
ers of ‘'Chief Chinook’’ measure 5'¥2 to 6 inches across and are apricot 
color at the base shading to capsicum red at the tips with few dark mahog- 
any spots. The plant is very free flowering, often carrying from 15 to 20 
flowers on stout stems 242 to 4 feet in height. It is extremely disease re- 
sistant and of easiest culture in sun or partial shade. A few stems when 
cut will make a large bouquet and its keeping qualities are unexcelled. 
Excellent in the border in combination with Baptisia, Delphinium or other 
blue perennials or with lemon yellow day lilies and fine for pot culture in 
the cool greenhouse. ‘’Chief Chinook’’ seems to have all the attributes of 
a top notch garden lily. Early June flowering. Plant the large bulbs six 
inches deep. Strong flowering stock 50c each, $5.00 dozen, $38.00 per 100. 
Extra large bulbs 75c¢ each, $7.50 dozen, $56.00 per 100. October-December 
delivery.
