Native American Lilies 
PARDALINUM-590-One of the easiest grown 
of all native Lilies is this brilliant gem from 
the Pacific Northwest. Perfectly hardy and 
not particular as to location though happier 
in partial shade with plenty of moisture but 
good drainage. The Martagon type blooms are 
quite recurved, deep orange shading to crim- 
son at tips of the petals. Well grown plants 
carry up to 30 blossoms. This Lily is ideal 
along a stream or beside a pool with ferns 
as ground cover combined with blue or lav- 
ender flowered Hosta (Funkia) Mid-June- 
July. Ht. 4 to 7 feet. PD 4 inches. 
HUMBOLDTII Magnificum-398-The most 
striking of our natives. Strong grower, 3 to 4 
feet tail, flowering freely. Blooms reflexed, 
golden-orange, dotted maroon, each dot bor- 
dered crimson. Try against Buddleia Ile de 
France with a foreground mass of Aster Fri- 
karti (Wonder of Staffia). This Lily usually 
takes a year after planting to become estab- 
lished but is well worth the waiting. PD 6 in. 
July. 
MICHAUXII (Carolinianum)—550-A native 
Lily from the southeastern states, somewhat 
similar to Superbum. One of. our less hardy 
Lilies but satisfactory in a protected place. 
Fragrant, bright orange blooms in late July. 
Ht. 1 Y2 to 3 feet. PD 5 inches. 
MICHIGANENSE-556-Another native, this 
one from the middle-west, possibly a hybrid 
between Canadense and Superbum. Blooms 
vary from a brilliant red to shades of yellow, 
profusely spotted with purplish brown, petals 
reflexed. A good Lily for the woodland garden 
where it finds partial shade and ample mois- 
ture. July. Ht. 2 to 5 feet. PD 5 inches. 
KELLOGGII-406-This is our native West 
Coast Martagon, with fragrant nodding flow- 
ers, pale pink with a yellow stripe through 
center of each petal and finely spotted with 
maroon. An attractive, dainty Lily, demand- 
ing a moderately moist, partially shaded spot 
with good drainage and preferably a gravelly 
soil. Ht 2 to 3 ft. June-July. PD 4 in. Supply 
very limited. 
OCCIDENTAL-580-A rare native Lily from 
the west coast which accommodates itself 
nicely to garden conditions. Its small bell- 
shaped blooms are orange-red with throat 
spotted maroon. As the petals age they be- 
come recurved. Like most native Lilies, par- 
tial shade is most to its liking. Prefers a 
lime free soil with plenty of leafmold or peat 
moss. July. Ht 2 to 4 feet. PD 4 inches. 
CANADENSE FLAVUM 

WASHINGTONIANUM Purpureum—880-Our 
beloved Mt. Hood Lily. The Purpureum va- 
riety is considered best for gardens and is 
the only one we offer. Stock is all nursery 
grown and fully matured. This beautiful na- 
tive Lily carries up to 30 funnel shaped 
blooms opening white with purple dots in the 
throat. As the flowers age they become lilac 
purple. Fragrant. Plant in a loose gravelly 
soil with plenty of leafmold and PERFECT 
drainage. Prefers partial shade. Generally re- 
quires a year after planting to establish it- 
self. PD 5 inches. Ht. 3 to 6 feet. June-July. 
L. MARITIMUM-520-A beautiful native spe- 
cies, best grown in moist woodland, in partial 
shade. Flowers bell shaped, deep crimson, 
spotted maroon. A dainty though capricious 
plant with which cultural care is essential. 
Plant 4 inches deep in well drained soil 
abundant in leaf mold and supply with ade- 
quate moisture during the growing season. 
Height | Y2 to 3 feet. July. 
GRAYI-360-A delightful little Lily somewhat 
resembling the lovely Canadense. Outside of 
blooms is crimson; orange inside with many 
reddish-purple dots. Try planting it with a 
ground cover of ferns against a blue flowering 
hydrangea. You'll be surprised how the bril- 
liance of the Lily will enliven the blue of the 
shrub. A moist location in partial shade suits 
this Lily best. Our bulbs are the true form 
and stock is limited. Ht 2 to 3 ft. PD 4 in. 
SUPERBUM-796-This is our native Turk’s 
Cap, a favorite with every gardener and easily 
one of the finest American plants. The flow- 
ers are nodding, Martagon type, strongly re- 
flexed, bright orange suffused yellow with 
red tips and brown spots. A lily easily estab- 
lished in moist but well drained lime free soil 
with plenty of humus. Grows vigorously, 5 to 
9 feet tall, with up to 40 flowers on a stalk. 
A versatile lily equally at home in the border, 
shrubbery or wild garden. Prefers partial 
shade and plenty of moisture. Try a group of 
them rising among tall feathery spires of 
white Cimicifuga Racemosa against a dark 
background and the ever valuable Aster Fri- 
karti massed in the foreground. July-August. 
PD 5 inches. 
BOLANDERI-1 85-A dainty little native from 
southern Oregon bearing from one to six 
crimson blooms with purplish spots. A small 
bulb, 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. 1 to 3 ft. PD 5 inches. 

PARRY] 
PARRY I-600-Of all the lovely Lilies found 
native in this country of ours, none are more 
beautiful than this. It’s found in the high Sier- 
ras of central and eastern California and in 
Arizona. The deliciously fragrant blooms are 
pale lemon-yellow to citron-yellow, lightly 
spotted brown, funnel-shaped with tips grace- 
fully recurved. This Lily is a bit finicky in its 
tastes but withal so charming, it is, worth ex- 
tra effort. Ht to 6 ft. PD 4 in. Early July. Light 
soil, rich in humus, plenty of moisture but 
good drainage. 
RUBESCENS-716-Here is another for which 
we have never been able to meet the demand. 
This Oregon-California native, equally as 
lovely as the Mt. Hood Lily (Washingtoni- 
anum), is also known as the Redwood Lily. 
The experts consider it the better of the two 
for garden planting. The dainty fragrant 
blooms are tubular, white to pale lilac, spotted 
purple, changing to wine purple soon after 
opening. Stems, two to six feet tall, carry 
up to 30 medium size blooms. It demands 
a loose gravel soil with plenty of leaf-mold 
and partial shade. PD 5 inches. June-July. 
CANADENSE Flayum—191-One of the best loved American lilies, easy to grow, 
feet. PD 4 inches. 
See page 27. 
14 
tall, graceful, nodding bell-shaped flowers in a pleasing shade of yellow with 
chocolate spots. Likes plenty of moisture, humus and full sun. June. Ht. 2 to 5 
CANADENSE Rubrum-192-A red form of the above with yellow throat and a 
few spots. More rare than the type. Delightful. 
ROEZLII-700-An Oregon-northern California native Martagon of graceful form 
and striking color. The blooms are golden yellow shading orange-red at the tips 
of the petals, spotted maroon. It bears six to 12 blooms in early July. Thrives 
in sun or partial shade and should have plenty of moisture during the growing 
season with ample drainage. Prefers a lime-free soil. Ht 3 to 5 ft. PD 4 inches.
