OCHRACEUM (Burma) The large recurved blooms range from 
greenish yellow to mustard yellow. The throat is heavily 
blotched with maroon. This together with L. nepalense is a 
favorite lily in English gardens but is not well known here. It 
is not considered difficult, but its hardiness is open to question. 
We have wintered it with a heavy mulch in Vermont, and Mrs. 
J. Norman Henry has wintered it just outside of Philadelphia. 
September and October flowering. Height 4 to 6 feet. Plant 
10 to 12 inches deep. 
Collected wild bulbs that will arrive from India in mid-Novem- 
ber. Each $2.00 Dozen $22.00 
PARDALINUM A California lily and one of the finest in cultivation. 
Large, sharply recurved flowers of brilliant orange with the tips 
of the petals richly colored red and the entire bloom heavily - 
spotted with brown. It will thrive in almost any position but is 
seen at its best in partial shade. July. Height 5 to 7 feet. Plant 
8 to 10 inches Each 60c Dozen $6.50 
PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM, The Sunset Lily A variety with a 
more vigorous constitution and even more brilliantly colored 
flowers. The prevailing color is rich vermillion passing to or- 
ange-red at the tips of the petals with a deep golden throat, 
thickly spotted with purple black spots. It requires no special 
culture. Each 50c Dozen $5.50 
PARRYI Probably the loveliest of all American lilies and one of the 
most beautiful of the entire genus. The fragrant funnel-shaped 
flowers with slightly reflexed tips are a pleasing citron yellow 
faintly spotted purple brown. Like many of our West Coast 
plants this is not always an easy garden subject. “You can’t 
just dump it down in any part of the garden.” It needs plenty 
of humus, a moist and sheltered place, preferably in partial 
shade. The banks of a stream or that part of the garden where 
our native orchids will grow is the ideal location. A difficult 
lily but so beautiful as to be worth some extra attention. Early 
July flowering. Height 3 to 5 feet. Plant 5 to 8 inches. 
Very choice bulbs. Each $1.50 Dozen $16.50 
PHILADELPHICUM (Eastern North America) One of our few up- 
right flowering native lilies and one of the most brilliantly col-. 
ored. The flowers are vivid orange scarlet with large dark ma- 
roon spots. A woodland lily which does best in acid soil, in 
partial shade where the drainage is especially good. Grows 1% 
feet. Plant 5 inches deep. June to July flowering. 
Each 30c Dozen $3.25
