CALIFORNIA LILIES 
In number and beauty of its Lilies, California ranks next 
to Japan. 
Note: Magnificum and Bloomerianum are stem rooting 
and flower the first year. Others of the Humboldtii group 
and the Washingtonianum group may or may not flower the 
first year, but in any case require to become established be- 
fore blooming freely and then produce wonderful blooms year 
after year. The Bog Lilies usually bloom the first year. 
re LILIUM HUMBOLDTII AND ALLIED SPECIES 
HUMBOLDTII. A grand Lily, growing as tall as 10 feet, but 
usually 4 to 5 feet high, with very stout stem and many 
large orange flowers, spotted with small maroon spots. 
This species does well in the adobe soils prevailing about 
San Francisco Bay. Immense bulbs 50 cts. each; 3 for 
$1.25. Good, 40 cts. each; 3 for $1.00. 
(Lilies shipped Oct. 15th-Feb. 15) 
(1 recommend planting before Jan.) 
HUMBOLDTII MAGNIFICUM. A good species, differing 
from preceding in having darker foliage, and in the spots 
on the tlowers, each surrounded by a circle of crimson. 
Splendid growing and flowering qualities. It is sure to 
flower the first year after planting, and is a splendid 
grower. None better. First size, 75 cts. each; 3 for $2. 
Hine 1lowering blubs, 60 cts. each; 3 for $1.50. 
BOLANDERI. One of the rarest of Lilies; 1 to 3 feet high, 
slender, with bell-shaped, deep c1imson-red flowers, doi- 
ted purple. Very strong garden grown bulbs. 90 cts. eacn; 
3 for $2.50; $9 per doz. See cul.

LILIUM WASHINGTONIANUM AND NEAR SPECIES 
WASHINGTONIAUM PURPUREUM. The celebrated Mount 
Hood Lily of the Northwest. From 3 to 5 and often to 7 
teet high with stout stems and many leaves in whorls and 
often with 25 flowers to a stem. The flowers are broad 
open trumpets opening pure white and often changing to 
deep wine color and are most spicily fragrant. A wonder- 
tul lily that has brought fine reports from all parts of the 
Kast where happily situated and proper care as to soil has 
been given. Very fine garden grown bulbs: Large size, 
50 cts. each; 3 for $1.25; second size, 40 cts. each; 3 for 
$1.00. See cut, 
RUBESCENS (The Redwood or Chemise Lily). A beautiful 
and very distinct kind, having tall, slender stalks and ex- 
quisitely fragrant flowers of a tubular shape. In opening, 
they are white dotted purple, but soon change to deeper 
purple, and all colors between white and purple will be 
seen on one stem. To succeed with this, drainage must be 
perfect. 40 cts. each; 3 for $1. Very large, 50 cts. each; 
3 for $1.25. 
KELLOGGII is one of the most distinct as well as one of the 
rarest and most beautiful of the world’s lilies. Except 
that the bulb and stem resemble that of the foregoing 
sorts it ig entirely different. The petals are closely revo- 
lute (see picture), and the color is a delicate pink, 
lighter at the center, finely dotted maroon, It has a most 
spicy, distinct fragrance. A well grown plant will be 2 to 
4 feet tall with from six to ten flowers, while very fine 
specimens grow six feet high with thirty or more blossoms. 
Very large bulbs, $1 each. Fine flowering bulbs, 75 cts. 
each; 3 for $2. 
CULTURE OF GROUP I. 
Situation of the Lily Bed. They should be planted where 
they are sheltered from harsh winds. The light, high shade 
of deciduous trees a part of the day is desirable but a dense 
shade is not. Do not plant with Rhododendrons as they re- 
quire more humus and moisture than these lilies like. It is 
not wise to plant amongst shrubs or tall perennials although 
their shade and protection at a little distance is desirable. I 
have very fine results with the Humboldtii group in full sun 
where temperatures of 100 degrees is not unusual. The same 
is true for the Washingtonianum group except that they like 
a little cooler situation and rather more shade. 
Drainage. This must be perfect. If ground is heavy and 
clammy, under-drainage should be given, and the soil made 
lighter and looser by the addition of sand or grit. 
Soils. A fairly good loam, even if a little heavy and at 
least slightly acid. No humus in soil but add liberally as a 
mulch. Well rotted manure under but not touching the bulb 
gives splendid results. 
Planting. They should be planted so that the top of the 
bulb is not less than 6 inches from the surface; about each 
bulb put a layer of an inch or so of sand which will carry 
away excessive moisture and prevent fungus attacks. 
Watering. Lilies should not be kept water-soaked, but 
should have a moist surface during the growing season. Keep 
rather dry after they have flowered, 
Never move a Lily bulb unless absolutely necessary.
