L. Willmottiae var. Unicolor (syn. L. Sutchuenense). A distinct variety of L. 
Willmottiae. Flowers are lighter in color and with few, if any, spots. The 
foliage is grassy but the plant is more erect and the stem does not have the 
tendency to wander as in Willmottiae. One of the most satisfactory lilies 
we have of this type. Plant 5 to 6 inches deep in partial shade in light 
porous soil. Height 2 to 4 feet. July flowering. Flowering bulbs, 75¢ each, 
$7.50 dozen.
