LILY FAMILY—Liliaceae 
The type species is Lilium, or true Lily. Many call Crinums, Callas, Cannas or 
any bulbs “Lilies,” but this is an error. 
Lilium regale. Large fragrant, white flowers, tinted pink with cream com This 
is one of the hardiest and is easy to grow. It increases in size and number every year 
and becomes permanently established in the garden. It belongs in the perennial border 
along with Daylilies, Crinums, shrubs, etc. They prefer mildly acid soil and the addition 
of leaf mould and sand to your soil will give improved results. Mulch the ground or 
plant among shrubs or other plants that shade the soil surface but allow the plant to 
rise into the sunlight. Keep their feet cool and their heads warm. Large bulbs, 35c ea. 
Liliums, pardalinum giganteum, (60c ea.) Shuksan, (75c ea.) and Willmottiae, 
(60c ea.) may still be planted if done soon. Not available after Feb. 15. 
Gloriosa. Climbing Lily. The flowers resemble true lilies but surpass most of 
them in their gorgeous beauty and high coloring. They propagate by tubers instead of 
bulbs. The stem is branching and heavy and must be supported. 
Culture. They must have sandy soil with leaf mould and peat added, acid (about 
pH 6.5), full sun or slight shade, plenty of water, perfect drainage. We usually plant 
before Mar. 1, but sometimes as late as May. They need a long season. Plant 4” deep. 
Horizontal position. In the north they may be started early in pots and shifted. 
Gloriosa rothschildiana. It deserves the name, Glory Lily. Very vivid colors, red 
with yellow markings, turning later to deep red and then deep rose. 4 to 6 ft. tall. Tubers 
are priced according to length. 4” tuber, 60c. 5” for 85c. A few Jumbo bulbs at $1.50 
up to $3.00. | 
OXALIS FAMILY—Oxalidaceae 
No bulbs have increased more rapidly in public favor in recent years. This probably 
results from magazine and radio publicity, and their more frequent appearance in 
gardens or as house plants. Plants and flowers are variable in form and color and are 
most attractive and dainty. Culture. Plant in full sun exposure in any good soil. All 
make lovely pot plants and should be grown freely in the pee, The flowers open only 
in the sunlight.

growers. In the north they may be potted now. Start slowly. Do not over water.
