Bellingham Hybrids 
A strain of Lilies which has more than lived up to our hopes, since this 
‘group has proven the most desirable of all the Lilies for cut flower Purposes 
and informal or woodland planting. Ideally spaced on tall, slender, straight 
stems, the flowers are particularly long lasting. The pyramidal flower heads, 
bearing up to 20 flowers, may be cut as the first buds open and will remain 
fresh until the entire spike is in bloom. The buds are long and narrow, and 
reveal the attractive spotting of the petals long before opening. The color 
range is complete from clear yellow through the yellow-oranges to the 
bright orange-reds with scarlet-tipped petals. Most of the flowers are in- 
terestingly spotted with brown or reddish brown. 
Named Bellingham Hybrids in honor of the late Dr. David C. Griffiths, 
who did a great deal of work on Lilies at the Bellingham, Wasington, ex- 
periment station of the U.S. D. A. 
Ideal for partial or light shade, they prefer a cool, light soil. They are 
at their best when left undisturbed since the bulbs divide and branch 
rapidly to form large clumps. Plant 5 inches deep in ordinary soils. A winter 
mulch is recommended in the very coldest sections to protect the bulbs 
against alternate freezing and thawing.

Dye Abel f Fiosta. Hybrids 
_ A Magnificent and Brilliantly Colored Race of New Lilies 
This new race of seedlings has neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced 
on thin wiry stems. Resulting from crosses between L. Davidi (L. Willmot- 
tiae) and related types, they are one of the brightest patches of color 
in our Lily fields during July. The colors range from bright yellow through 
orange to a beautiful dark rich red. The latter color is new to this type 
of Lily. Most of the flowers are of the typical recurved Turk’s-cap shape 
and many of the plants have blooms facing outward or somewhat up- 
ward with the petals only slightly recurved. A sun loving group, plant 
them 5 to 6 inches deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. 
Propagation is most rapid from the numerous underground stem bulblets 
which may be separated from the old stem in the fall and replanted 
near the mother bulb. This group has proven a wonderful addition to 
the garden Lilies. Excellent cut flowers, the stems are easy to handle and 
arrange, and the colors are particularly attractive indoors. Award of 
Merit, Massachusetts Horticultural Society, 1946.

olden Chalice Hybrids 
This is another instance where we have chosen to introduce an entire 
strain of seedlings which have shown marked improvement over the parent 
plants rather than segregate a few individuals and propagate them for 
eventual naming and introduction. After testing the best known. named 
varieties of the Douricum-Umbellatum-Elegans types from Holland, England, 
and the Orient, the possibilities for improvement in color and shape of the 
tlowers appealed to us. Our main objective of clearer, brighter colors with 
the elimination of the muddy oranges and orange-reds from the group has 
largely been realized in the Golden Chalice Hybrids. After roguing out the 
less desirable forms the range of colors of the remainder of the population 
varies from clear lemon-yellow through the rich warm shades of gold and 
apricot-orange. As with all our other strains of seedlings, the Golden Cha- 
lice Hybrids exhibit exceptional vigor. Plant the bulbs in a warm, sunny 
location where they will get full sun, at least 4 inches deep, since the stem 
roots are heavy and numerous underground stem bulblets are formed. Shal- 
low planting will reduce the increase from stem bulblets and tend to cause 
the bulb to split up in several crowns. Extremely drought resistant, of easi- 
est culture and multiplying rapidly, these hybrids are ideally suited for that 
warm, dry corner of the border where they will flourish and flower freely 
with a minimum of care. June flowering, height 21% to 4 feet. 
Each $1.10, Three $3.00, Doz. $11.50, 25 $22.75 
Lilium Shuksan 
A new Hybrid Lily with a great future. Also a fine bill of health. Through 
careful cultivation a very high state of health has been maintained and we 
have never seen any bulbs infected with mosaic; that fatal disease some 
Lilies are subject to. Shuksan is a very vigorous grower, 5 to 6 feet tall and 
produces its flowers in open heads, 15 to 25 flowers on one plant is not un- 
usual. The color is a soft buff-yellow broken by large, quite widely spaced, 
soft brown spots. At opening, the flowers are starlike. The petals reflex and 
roll back when in full bloom. Flowers last a week when cut. 
Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75 


Silium Regale 
(The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and also one of the easiest of Lilies to grow; 
it never fails—‘Lilium Regale’’ is truly a Royal Lily; worthy of a place in 
every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigorous grower with 
sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with fine foliage. Center of 
flower flushed wih yellow shading to white at outer edges; externally, the 
flowers are streaked with brown on the “‘ribs,’’ shaded through the almost 
translucent petals with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the 
color of the reverse of the petals and the gold shading of the throat is ex- 
traordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when thorough- 
ly established, bears as high as 18 to 20 flowers.

“Western Sunset” Lily 
(Pardalinum Californicum Select) 
This brilliant Lily is of easiest culture, in fact, it’s ‘fool-proof.” It is 
vigorous, dependable, very hardy, and multiplies rapidly. It does equally 
well in full sun or shade. They reach a height of five to six feet. Stems 
are stout and require no staking. A clump of six or a dozen when in bloom 
makes a brilliant picture in any garden. Each stem is topped with a dozen 
or more beautiful flowers in July. The petals are somewhat recurving and a 
brilliant sunset-red, while the base of the bloom is yellow, beautifully 
marked with amber-brown dots. 
Each 65c, Three $1.70, Doz. $6.00, 25 $11.25 
French Lilium Gandidum 
The Modonna Lily is one of the loveliest of white Lilies, popular through- 
out the world, loved and admired by all. lts delightful fragrance and lovely 
white flowers have made it a universal symbol of purity. Plant it in groups 
of three or more bulbs, close to the pale blue Delphinium Belladonna. It 
will be the loveliest spot in your garden during late June and early July. 
Madonna Lilies are simple to grow if you will plant in full sun and perfectly 
drained soil.

AMERICAN GROWN LILIUM CANDIDUM 
“CASCADE STRAIN” 
One of the prides of our Lily stocks is this new strain of Madonna Lilies 
we have been slowly developing for the past several years. The foundation 
of these hybrids was a collection of all forms of the Madonna Lily available, 
including several unusual types cbtained from a French priest. Careful 
selection and pollination has finally produced a race of the Madonna Lily 
with large flowers of unusual texture and form. These seedlings are really 
the first improvement of our times on Lilium Candidum, the oldest Lily in 
cultivation. Lilium Candidum is one of the few bulbs which requires very 
shallow planting and the top of the bulb should not be over an inch below 
the surface of the ground. It prospers in a heavier soil than do most Lilies, 
but the soil must be well drained. The Cascade Strain Madonna Lily suffers 
no set-back in transplanting provided it is planted early enough in the fall 
to make its normal autumn growth. The larger sizes will produce exhibition 
spikes the first year. They increase rapidly by natural division and will soon 
form a large clump. Bulbs we send will measure 6 or more inches in cir- 
cumference.

eneral Soist of Ftardy Lilies 
Amabile Each 85c, Three $2.45, Doz. $9.50, 25 $18.50 
Brilliant grenadine-red flowers, nicely spotted with black, carried on 
strong, slender, 3-foot stems. Because of its very free flowering habit, 
few bulbs are needed to make a brilliant dash of color in the garden. 
Best suited as a bold accent group in the border, L. amabile does well 
in full sun and will stand considerable drought. The intense color does 
not fade in direct sunlight. The bulbs are white, high crowned, and 
composed of relatively large scales. Plant 5 inches deep in light porous 
soils, shallower in clay and adobe. Stem roots are sparse or entirely 
lacking; basal roots heavy and contractile. Underground stem bulblets 
are formed in profusion, especially on the smaller stems. 
Amabile Luteum Each $1.00, Three $2.85, Doz. $11.00, 25 $21.75 
One of the loveliest of the yellow flowered Lilies, this rare form is ident- 
ical to the type, except in color, and requires the same culture. The 
healthy seedlings we offer are from parent plants selected for outstand- 
ing color, size and placement of the flowers. Flowering a few days later 
than L. amabile, the bright yellow flowers combine with almost any 
companion plant and are exceptionally beautiful when seen against a 
background of evergreen foliage. Bulbs are similar to the type species 
but run somewhat smaller in size.

Canadense Each 50c, Three $1.40, Doz. $4.75, 25 $8.75 
Broad, funnel-shaped, drooping flowers, varying from yellow to orange; 
spotted inside; graceful and pretty. Fine among Azaleas, in damp peat 
beds, or leaf mold. Excellent for naturalizing. June-July flowering. 
Canadense flavum Each 55c, Three $1.45, Doz. $5.25, 25 $10.00 
Broad, funnel-shaped, drooping flowers on longish stalks about 3 feet 
high. Almost bell-shaped, with ends of the petals only very slightly 
PY back. Golden yellow, handsomely spotted inside. June-July 
owering. 
Giganteum himalaicum Each $3.00 
The most majestic of Lilies, having stems 10 to 12 feet high when estab- 
lished, with large, handsome, heart-shaped leaves and from July to 
August bearing immense, long, white, trumpet-shaped, sweet-scented 
flowers. Groups of this noble Lily in woodland or gardens produce a 
grand effect. It requires to become established before flowering freely 
ane dives best where there is an abundance of leaf soil. Plant very 
shallow.
