Bellingham Hybrids 
Nearly three decades ago my old friend, the late Dr. David Griffiths, 
began work that produced this grand strain of hybrid Lilies. Each 
year since 1939 they have been offered in our catalogs in small 
quantities but now we can supply them more freely. Not only do 
we offer 4 different named hybrids but also a choice selection of 
mixed seedlings that will make a magnificent display in your gar- 
den. It is anticipated that these Bellingham Hybrids will play a 
major role in the American Lily pageant. 
If you could have been with me last summer as | checked and re- 
checked the fields of these wonderful Lilies only a few miles from 
the snow clad slopes of beautiful Mount Hood, you too would ac- 
claim them a prominent place among fine Lilies. 
The pyramidal clusters of bloom, 20 to 30 on each stalk, are airy 
and graceful, almost orchid-like in effect. Stiff stems require no 
staking. Colors are striking and varied. They are remarkably re- 
sistant to Lily troubles and reliably persistent. Heights vary from 
4 to 7 feet. Mid-July flowering. Group against a mass of ever- 
greens or any tall dark foliage and their brilliance will reward you 
richly. 
Lilium Shuksan 
SHUKSAN-790-An irregularly reflexed, typically Martagon 
type Lily, cadmium yellow, faintly flushed red at end of petals 
and dotted blackish maroon. Altogether a striking Lily, vigor- 
ous and handsome. Many of the experts consider it the best of 
Griffiths’ hybrids. Enjoys partial shade and an open porous 
soil. Ht. 4 to 5 feet. PD 6 in. We have a limited number of 
extra selected bulbs, $1.00 each. Smaller, good flowering 
bulbs, 65c each. 

CYRUS GATES-—235-One of the most brilliant and vigorous of the 
strain. Numerous flowers, true Martagon shape, cadmium orange, 
base profusely spotted with purple-black. PD 6 inches. Flowering 
size bulbs, each $2.75. 
DOUGLAS INGRAM-278-A beautifully reflexed Lily, deep cad- 
mium in the throat with a dull red overlay extending outward and 
blending into large bright red spot. Ht. 4 to 5 feet. Dwarfer 
than most of this group but vigorous and healthy. PD 6 in. 
Flowering size bulbs, each 85c. A few large bulbs, each $1.35. 
SACAJAWEA-750-This gorgeous Lily was named after the In- 
dian woman who so faithfully guided Lewis and Clark on their 
memorable expedition to Oregon which had so much to do with 
winning this vast region for the United States. Its large reflexed 
flowers are a deep orange-yellow with black spots, the stem en- 
hanced with whorls of lustrous foliage. Ht. 5 to 6 feet. Sun or 
partial shade. PD 6 in. Like all the Lilies in this group, it enjoys 
a porous soil with abundant peat or leafmold and good drainage. 
A healthy, vigorous Lily you'll surely enjoy. A few selected bulbs, 
$1.35 each.

BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS, Mixed Seedlings—17/7—This lot of 
bulbs is the famous de Graaff strain, rogued most carefully 
for all inferior types and colors and raised from seed of selected 
stock plants. The colors range through all shades of yellow, 
pinkish-copper and orange to red and buff-terra cottas, 
spotted and blotched with browns, purples, blacks and maroon, 
They vary from tightly reflexed, Martagon types to open, 
slightly reflexed Turk’s Cap blossoms. Many have the grace of 
Orchids. All in all they offer one of the most brilliant displays 
of the Lily world. For mass display, few strains equal them. 
Ht. 4 to 7 feet. PD 6 inches. Sun or partial shade. Good, flow- 
ering size bulbs, 95c each, dozen $10.45. We have a few 
larger bulbs, each $1.25.

your border or as a brilliant highlight in rock garden. Turk’s Cap

pure lemon-yellow forms are showing up. They can only be offered 
this year as a mixture but we feel they are a real value. They vary 
also in flowering dates and in shape and habit of growth. Altogether
