A Srioe of Garden Anristecrats 
Here are three of the world’s most beautiful Lilies. Sulphureum, on 
the left, a truly magnificent Lily from far off Burma, has huge 
trumpet-shaped flowers up to nine inches in length. This illustra- 
tion can convey but a suggestion of the real beauty and delicacy of 
this rare and beautiful Lily. Especially desirable for its late flowering 
after most others are through. See page 16. Not available this fall. 
In the center, Speciosum rubrum, one of the greatest favorites for 
border planting, almost orchid-like in effect. The culture of this 
jewel is not difficult and it seems at home almost everywhere. 
At the right, the beloved Auratum, one of the noblest of the genus 
Lilium. Recent developments in growing this Lily here in the North- 
west brings you forms, types and colors more beautiful than ever.

She Speciosum Groupe 
Unquestionably these are among the handsomest of all Lilies, rank- 
ing with Regale, Auratum and Candidum in this respect, and de- 
servedly, one of the greatest favorites for border planting. The 
gracefully waved, frilly petals are rolled back, recurved and twisted, 
spotted and blotched with delicate color. Prominent papillae add 
contrast and the conspicuous anthers, delicately poised, lend charm 
to the symphony of color. 
Speciosum Lilies are not too particular as to soil but do best in a 
well drained loam with plenty of humus and full sun or partial shade. 
They are easily the highlight of the late summer garden, the more 
so because of their comparatively easy culture. Ht 32 to 41 ft. 
PD 6Gsin: 
SPECIOSUM Rubrum-—7/80-The most widely grown and best known 
of the group. White flowers flushed and spotted with deep rose, 
producing a bloom essentially carmine-pink. Delightful with Ane- 
mone Hupehensis, Heloitrope and blue Hosta. Combine it with L. 
Auratum and Longiflorum Estate against an evergreen background 
and flanked with Abelia Grandiflora. We have a few extra select 
bulbs, each $1.75. Choice flowering bulbs, each $1.35. All Oregon 
grown, freshly dug stock. 
SPECIOSUM Album-776-A lovely, snow-white flower with a golden 
green stripe through each petal and anthers of a coppery tint. Both 
in form of the flower and habit of growth, this Lily is one of the 
most beautiful of all. Selected flowering bulbs, each $1.90. 
SPECIOSUM Oregon Giant—See Page 3. 
HENRYI, The Golden Speciosum—386-A very fine Lily from China 
worthy of admittance to any garden. It blooms just before the true 
Speciosums in August. Slender six to eight foot stems carry from 
four to twenty or more large, nodding, reflexed, frilly blooms in a 
soft golden orange-yellow with a green central line along each petal. 
One of the best border Lilies, vigorous and healthy, seldom failing, 
truly an invaluable garden plant. Not finicky as to soil but partial 
to a half shady spot. Mass it against blue Hydrangeas or against 
that charming shrub Vitex Macrophylla. This Lily is so like the Spe- 
ciosums that a delightful group may be made by combining the 
three, Henryi, Speciosum Rubrum and Album. Against an evergreen 
background they are gorgeous. Group with them the lovely white 
“Estate Lily’ (Longiflorum Estate). Henryi is a Lily to plant freely 
in your garden due to its inherent dependability. Excellent for cut- 
ting and beautiful also under glass. PD 6 in. We have a few jumbo 
bulbs, each $1.50. Selected large bulbs, each $1.10. Strong flower- 
ing bulbs, each 65c. Three, flowering size $1.80. 
Special offer for mass planting. Ten bulbs each of No. 776, 780 
and 386 for $36.00.
