Lilies 
For several years now we have been building up stocks of fine, hardy garden lilies. 
Many hundreds of species and hybrids have been tested and grown experimentally in an 
attempt to find a small group of good lilies that we could confidently offer to the most 
discriminating buyers. Apart from the standard types, such as L. Tigrinum, L. Umbel- 
latum and L. Regale, we now have some very large stocks of a few excellent hybrid lilies 
as described and quoted in this catalog. Other stocks, as yet too small to offer out, are 
coming along nicely and it will not be long until we will be able to offer some twenty 
entirely new hardy hybrid garden lilies in large quantities. 

We believe that the development of new lilies is now at about the same stage that new 
daffodils were in the 1890-1900 period. A great many new varieties are coming to the 
foreground and some very interesting hybrids have shown up in our experimental plant- 
ings. While we believe that in some isolated instances it is worth while to perpetuate a 
clone and offer a new hybrid under a varietal name, we find that in most instances a 
cross between two species will produce a group of very fine lilies, almost all of which 
are ideally suited to garden use. In such cases we are offering the hybrids as a group, 
such as the Bellingham Hybrids and the Preston Hybrids. In both groups there is a 
great deal of variation in coloring of the flowers as well as in the height of the plant. 
Yet every one of these lilies is a very distinct improvement on any of the older varieties 
and the variations in color, height and form add a great deal to the beauty and usefulness 
of these plants for garden purposes.

L. AMABILE—Brilliant grenadine-red black-spotted flowers, nicely reflexed. 
Flowers early in July. Likes gritty, loamy soil and some shelter. Carries from

L. AMABILE LUTEUM—tThe true, very rare form with deepest chrome- 
yellow flowers. In our trials this was without doubt the finest yellow of all 
lilies and it definitely deserves a place in any lily collection................ 100.00 
L. AURATUMWFrom hand pollinated crosses between the very best forms 
that we could obtain we have raised a small group of hybrids that vie with 
the best offered in this country or Canada. Raised in complete isolation they 
are free from virus diseases and therefore extremely vigorous............ 60.00 
L. AURELIANENSE HYBRIDS—Our stock is the result of large scale 
hybridization between L. Sargentiae x L. Henryi, to which we have added 
second generation crosses between the best hybrids selected by us. While many 
of these lilies are strongly reminiscent of Henryi a large number are white or 
cream colored ard some remarkable pure lemon-yellow forms have shown up. 
Offered as a mixed strain they represent an unusual value for the amateur 
gardener as they vary greatly in color, habit and flowering dates..........- 80.00 
L. BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS—After making a large collection of all avail- 
able West Coast native lilies we crossed them at random and selected from the 
resulting seedlings the most vigorous plants with the clearest colors. Due to 
the influence of L. Parryi a great many are pure yellow. All of them are hand- 
some, brilliantly colored plants and exceptionally fine for planting in the
