SHUKSAN (Bellingham hybrid) One of the finest hybrids of Ameri- 
can origin. On the tall wiry stems are tiers of gleaming jewel- 
like flowers of warm yellow, richly spotted reddish brown. In 
color and in pattern the surface might be compared to a leo- 
pard’s skin. Vigorous and hardy and of easy culture — it should 
not be omitted from any planting. Mid-July. Plant 6 to 8 inches 
deep. Each $1.00 Dozen $11.00 
SPECIOSUM (Japan) This is one of the most popular of all lilies. 
It comes late in the season, generally starts opening its frilly 
recurved flowers toward the end of August and carries well 
into September. Normally it grows to 4 feet. This season we 
offer the following varieties: 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM The beautiful pure white form with a 
green throat and brown anthers. September and October 
flowering. Each $1.20, $1.75 Dozen $13.25, $19.00 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM This is the most widely grown and 
best known variety of L. speciosum. The flowers are white 
flushed and spotted with pink, ranging in shade from rose- 
pink to deepest carmine-pink. A hardy and strong growing 
plant. Each 85c, $1.50, $2.00 Dozen $9.50, $16.50, $22.00

STOOKE’S HYBRIDS The English specialist, Mr. J. E. H. Stooke, 
has been working for years with L. croceum, Davidi and Will- 
mottiae and has produced a number of plants of splendid gar- 
den value. We imported several of these hybrids in 1940 and, 
as we have watched them grow and develop, have become most 
enthusiastic about them. 
FIRE KING Those who have seen this lily consider it one of 
the most important garden plants to have been introduced 
in many years. It grows to about four feet and develops a 
magnificent spike that bears up to forty vermillion-scarlet 
blooms carried at right angles to the stem. The flowers 
“look at you” and this quality is a distinct break developed 
from crossing and re-crossing pendant or Turk’s cap 
species with upright forms. L. Fire King is easy to grow, 
tends to multiply and is probably the most brilliantly col- 
ored lily in cultivation. A well-grown clump is a mass of 
sheer flame in the garden for from three to four weeks in 
early summer. Plant 5 to 7 inches. 
Stock limited this season. Each $3.25 
LEMON KING This lily is one of the loveliest introduced in 
many years. The blooms, which come in July, are fragrant, 
a clear lemon yellow, lightly spotted with purplish brown. 
The plant grows much like Fire King, is about three feet 
tall, and carries up to twenty blooms which “look at you.” 
But the combination of color, size and shape of blooms, tu- 
gether with the wiry strength and delicacy of the plant 
give the hybrid a perfection that is completely unique.
