‘| L. “Shuksan”—

% 
By far the best of the hybrids named and introducéd by the late Dr. David C. Griffith. It is the result 
of a cross between L. Humboldtii magnificum and L. Pardalinum. A handsome, easily grown, disease 
~ resistant garden lily. Similar in type and habit to our Bellingham Hybrids of which it is one of the 
parents, L. Shuksan is happy under the same conditions and treatment. The bulbs are comparatively 
large and transplant easily if not held in storage too long or allowed to dry out. |

_| L. speciosum album — 
|. The highly prized-white form of Speciosum rubrum. Somewhat smaller and less robust than the type. 
- It is, however, not diffcult to grow. Our stocks have been free from basal rot and mosaic infections so 
prevalent among imported bulbs and these two factors have in the past been largely responsible for 
the frequent failures with this lily. Flowering ten days to two weeks later than the red form, it is one of 
the loveliest of cut flowers. Light shade is necessary in warmer climates to prevent the flowers from 
burning and opening too rapidly. .

| i speciosum rubrum “Red Champion’ — . 
A variety of the red showy lily of Japan. A grand clone for garden decoration, cut flowers or pot cul- 
ture in a cool greenhouse. Our strain is uniform, disease free and vigorous. The foundation stock 
. was discovered locally on the slopes of Mount Hood, where it had. grown undisturbed for some forty 
years. This lily has not proven to be as difficult as many writers would have us believe. A situation in 
well drained soil where it can receive light shade during the hottest part of the day is the main require- 
ment for successful culture. The heavy basal roots make a fall growth and consequently it may require 
a year to become established. The smaller sized bulbs suffer less shock in transplanting and are 
recommended for general garden purposes. ~Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep. Late August and early 
September flowering. . : 
L. “Green Mountain Hybrids’”— 
_This group resulted from seed obtained from the collection of Dr. L. Horsford Abel. It was origin- 
ally a mixture of his finest selected white trumpets, including such forms as: L, princeps George C. 
Creelman, L. princeps Shelburne hybrid, L. Crow’s hybrids and L. centifolium. Re-selection of these 
in an effort to fix the character of unusual size of flower, combined with a green coloring of the throat 
and the brown shaded exterior of the petals has resulted in an impressive group of trumpet lilies. Quite 
distinct in shape and color from our Olympic hybrids, they are definitely a superior group of plants 
particularly valuable for exhibition and specimen planting as well as being a magnificent cut flower. 
They require the same cultural treatment as the Olympic Hybrids and are at their best when planted in 
very light shade, where their unusual coloring can be seen at their best advantage. 
L. “Lillian Cummings” — tos ‘ 
™ One of the best of Miss Preston’s introductions, this hybrid of L. Willmottiae and I. Elegans-Dauricum 
yy bears grenadine red flowers on three to five foot stems. A most worth-while garden plant, it is vigor- 
£3 we a eee easy ne Plant the bulbs four to six inches deep in either full sun or 
| partial shade. This lily divides and increases rapidly and should be lifted
