LILIUM Dainty white Lily, 
UMBELLATUM Dressed like a bride, 
Shining with whiteness 
and scented beside —Anon. 
The Ymlbelletum Lilies 
These consist of numerous varieties with vigorous, showy, upright flowers related 
to Elegans and Croceum. They are a healthy, satisfactory lot 1 to 4 feet tall with 
a wide range of color and of the easiest culture, thriving in average garden soil, 
sun or partial shade. Umbellatums are ideal Lilies for the hardy border. They mass 
well between Iris and Peonies and hold their own in close proximity to most per- 
renials and dwarf shrubs. Fine also for pot culture in cool greenhouse. June-July. 
PD 4 in. 
UMBELLATUM Chief Chinook—854-This outstanding Lily was first offered by 
Mr. Kline in 1941 and is today unquestionably one of the finest of the group. 
The upright flowers of ‘Chief Chinook’! measure 5/2 to 6 inches across and are 
carried on stout stems 2/2 to 4 feet tall with 15 to 20 flowers on a stem. The 
color is apricot at the base shading to capsicum red at the tips with a few dark 
mahogany spots. Like most of the Umbellatums it is highly disease resistant and 
of the easiest culture in either sun or partial shade. Try it with dark blue Bap- 
tisia and lemon yellow Hemerocallis against a background of Pacific Hybrid Del- 
phinium. Choice flowering bulbs, each 55c. 
UMBELLATUM Erectum-—856-Applegates Var. A large flowered strain erect in 
habit with bright reddish-orange blooms that make a grand display in the border. 
It flowers later than most of the others. Ht 1 V2 to 2 ft. Choice flowering bulbs, 
each 50c. 

QUALITY! 
John Ruskin (the well known writer) once re- 
marked: ‘’There is scarcely anything in the world 
that some man cannot make a little worse and sell 
a little cheaper and the people who purchase on 
price only are that man’s lawful prey.” 



UMBELLATUM Erectum-858-Buckley’s Var. Another rich orange-red with very 
large blooms. Stems are taller than most Umbellatums, 2/2 to 3 feet which
