Rackheuse Hybrids 
Half a century ago a Lily enthusiast in England, Mrs. R. O. Back- 
house, (pronounced Backous) crossed L. Martagon and its varieties 
with L. Hansoni, producing a group of hybrids which are today among 
our most valued Lilies. Not only are they very beautiful, but due to 
rugged constitution, they have persisted through the years, their 
value undiminished. We offer tru2 stock of four of her original 
named hybrids as well as a choice selection of the strain in unnamed 
mixture. Don’t overlook this long-lived, disease resistant group. 
Late June to July. Ht 5 to 6 ft. Sun or partial shade. PD 5 in. They 
will make a grand show in front of purple Buddleia, faced down 
with low growing Deutzias as protection from frost to the early start- 
ing Lily shoots. 
BROCADE-1 82-One of the loveliest in the group, free flowering and 
vigorous, Orange-yellow with pink marbling and maroon dots. The 
fragrant, graceful recurving blooms are strikingly effective in the 
garden. Scarce. Extra Select bulbs, each $4.50. 
MRS. R. O. BACKHOUSE-1 70-A tall vigorous variety with 15 to 30 
flowers to a stem, ivory, flushed gold, delicately spotted with purple. 
Truly a gem. Scarce. Selected bulbs, each $4.50. 
SCEPTRE-786-An exquisite Lily, pinkish-buff with deep purple 
spots, tips of petals suffused fuchsia purple. An intriguing beauty. 
Blooms later than most of this group. Tall and vigorous. Selected 
bulbs. Flowering size, each $4.50. 
SUTTON COURT-—794-Net unlike Mrs. Backhouse but a bit deeper 
in tone. Light yellow interior, spotted purple, exterior shaded pink. 
A decidedly distinct and pleasing Lily. Stocks never equal the de- 
mand. Select bulbs, each $7.50. 
Backhouse Hybrids--Minxed 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS, Mixed—171-These are unnamed seed- 
lings of the strain and vary from ivory to gold, tinted with purple, 
pink, brown, orang2 and apricot. Their iridescent beauty, to- 
gether with ready adaptibi‘ity to ordinary garden conditions and 
freedom from disease, make them truly indispensable. Though we 
have considerable stock of these this year, it is doubtful if it will 
meet the demand. Selected bulbs, each $2.50. 

BOLANDERI-185-A dainty little native from southern Oregon 
bearing from one to six deep crimson blooms with purplish spots. 
A small bu:b, not too easily grown but well worth extra attention. 
It demands a loose soil with ample leafmold and a shady spot with 
good drainage. Ht. | to 3 ft. PD 5 in. Flowering size bulbs, 
each $1.50. 
BROWNII-1 83-True variety, one of the finest trumpet Lilies. Large 
marble white blooms, stained purple outside, anthers chocolate 
brown. A fragrant Lily of classic gracefulness with heavy waxy-like 
petals. The demand is heavy for this beautiful Lily and the supply 
is always limited. We have only a few bulbs this year so early orders 
only can be filled. July. Ht. 3 to 4 ft. PD 6 in. Flowering size $4.00. 
BROWNII 

AMABILE-125-A June blooming dwarf, ideal in foreground of 
your border or as a brilliant highlight in rock garden. Turk’s Cap 
shape, grenadine-red, spotted black. Easiest culture, sun or partial 
shade. Try it against white Spiraea Von Houteii. Ht 12 to 3 ft. 
PD 4 in. Good flowering size bulbs, each 65c, Three $1.80. 
AMABILE Luteum-126-A rare form in a lovely yellow. Delightful 
against Delphinium Belladonna with a ground planting of pansies in 
deep ultramarine blue. Culture as above. Stock scarce. Flowering 
bulbs, each $2.10. 
AZALEA-160-An extremely vigorous new hybrid (Philadelphicum- 
Dauricum) with brilliant, attractive, apricot colored cup-shaped 
blossoms. Valuable either massed or as individual specimens. Makes 
a delightful picture with a ground cover of the Hybrid Alpine Aster 
“Goliath’’, against dark green foliage. May-June. Ht. 2 to 2/2 ft. 
PD 4 in. Sunny situation. Selected bulbs, flowering size, $1.25. 
BURBANKII-188-A strain of hybrids produced by the famous 
Luther Burbank by crossing L. Paryii and L. Pardalinum. This one 
is a gorgeous yellow five to eight feet tall, intermediate between the 
parents in type of flower, bearing up to 20 blooms. It is vigorous 
and healthy and altogether worth while. Up until now we have not 
had sufficient stock to offer it. You will find it a good addition 
to your collection. The golden yellow blooms are shaded crimson 
with mahogany spots, a semi-recurved bloom, opening in July. 
Partial shade. PD 4 inches. Each $1.75. 

CANADENSE FLAVUM 
CANADENSE Fiavum—191-—One of the best loved American Lilies, 
easy to grow, tall, graceful, nodding bell-shaped flowers in a pleas- 
ing shade of yellow with chocolate spots. Likes plenty of moisture, 
humus and full sun. June. Ht 2 to 5 ft. PD 4 in. Flowering bulbs, 
each 35c, Three for $1.00. 
CANADENSE Rubrum-192-A red form of the above with yellow 
throat and a few spots. More rare than the type. Delightful. Flower- 
ing bulbs, each 50c, Three fer $1.40. 
COLUMBIANUM Ingrami-220-This is an improved form of one of 
Oregon's native Lilies. In the wild it frequently reaches seven feet 
in height but seldom as tall in the garden. A robust Lily bearing up 
to 20 reflexed, Martagon type, orange-yellow blooms, small in size. 
A Lily more for the specialists than the ordinary gardener. PD 5 in. 
Partial shade, humus and good drainage. Fiowering bulbs, each 75c. 








Chalcedonicum 
CHALCEDONICUM-215-A beautiful Lily from Greece commonly 
known as the Scarlet Martagon, a gorgeous, waxy, Turk’s Cap Lily 
unspotted and nodding, whose intense scarlet blooms rival all 
others of the color. Seems most at home in a fairly heavy but 
well drained loam in full sun. Likes plenty of leaf mold. A gor- 
geous jewel well worth growing. Generally requires a season 
after planting to become established. Try it among clumps of 
Russian Sage (Perovskia) whose silvery blu2 flowers and gray 
foliage provide an admirable foil for the intense scarlet. July. Ht 
3 to 4 ft. PD. 3 in. Choice bulbs, each $4.25.
