American gardens for the first time. We have either grown, or seen, 
all of the items that we are offering here and are presenting only 
those that by virtue of their inherent quality deserve very real con- 
sideration when the selection of new plants is in the making. All of 
them are unique, all are good, and some of them are among the most 
important contributions that have been made to gardens in many, 
many years. 

GARDEN LILIES 
In the following classification by season and color the period of 
flowering is not exact, it varies with the locality, with weather condi- 
tions and with the placement in the garden. Lilies in full sun, for in- 
stance, will bloom earlier than those in partial shade. Nor is the color 
exact. For example, lilies listed as white include lilies that are nearly 
white and white lilies that are marked with another color. 
LILIES FOR LATE MAY AND EARLY JUNE 
This group of early lilies includes some of the most beautiful and 
reliable of all garden plants. With the possible exception of L. tenui- 
folium none of them are well known and, we feel, should be. 
WHITE AND PINK LILIES 
RUBELLUM (Japan) An exquisite pink trumpet lily and one of 
the earliest to bloom, generally opening the season. While not 
difficult it will be most satisfactory if planted in partial shade 
and a somewhat heavy soil. Plant 5 to 6 inches. 
Collected wild bulbs. Each 45c Dozen $4.50 
WASHINGTONIANUM Like many other West Coast lilies this beau- 
tiful species will not succeed without due care and rarely wil! 
it throw good heads the first season after planting. Do not be 
impatient. Plant in gravelly soil in a partially shaded position 
with a good mixture of leaf-mould and—if you see that the 
drainage is perfect—you will be rewarded with handsome stems 
of fragrant white flowers suffused and dotted with purple. 
American nursery grown bulbs. Each 75c Dozen $7.50 
YELLOW LILIES 
CONCOLOR var. “OKIHIME” (Korea) A rare, pure yellow form of 
L. concolor. Not well known and, so far as we know, not pre- 
viously offered here. A limited number of collected wild bulbs 
are available. Plant 4 to 6 inches. Each 50c Dozen $5.00 
DAURICUM var. LUTEUM (Japan) One of the earliest lilies to 
flower and many of the specialists consider it the finest of the 
early lilies. It bears clusters of large well-formed flowers of 
rich yellow spotted with black. The plant is dwarf, generally 
growing to but 9 inches. Plant 5 inches deep. (Bulbs from 
Japan). Each 75c Dozen $7.50
