Elegans Lilies 
These are dwarf, 12 to 18 inches but the 
blooms are large and upright on the stems. 
Very showy in the rock garden or massed in 
the border. For sheer color they are seldom 
equaled. Try them among a colony of Funkia 
or White Heuchera for an effective display. 
Elegans is a healthy, vigorous lot. Culture the 
easiest, thriving in any well drained loam in 
a sunny spot. June-July. PD 4 in. 
ELEGANS Mixed—300-Yellow through apri- 
cot to deepest crimson. A mass of them is a 
riot of color. These and all other of the group 
are excellent in pots. 
ELEGANS Mahogany-299-Also known as Ma- 
hony. Deep mahogany-crimson flowers on fif- 
ELEGANS Aureum-297-An_ orange - yellow 
form, conspicuously spotted deep yellow. A 
desirable variety that is popular. 
ELEGANS Purple Queen—295-One of the 
darkest of all Elegans, a purplish-red, with 
narrow shiny foliage. This variety blooms 
later than others of the group, a desirable 
feature as it helps to lengthen the flowering 
season, 
ELEGANS Gold Cup Hybrids—296-This is a 
selected group of seedlinas of Elegans Orange 
Queen (Alice Wilson of commerce) and 
Dauricum luteum. They range in color from 
bright orange-yellow through apricot shades 
to chrome yellow. Vigorous upright lilies in 
a color range that is bright and pleasing. Ht. 
teen inch stems. An attractive variety and we 
never have enough. June. 
1% to 2 feet. June flowering. PD 4 inches. 
Of easiest culture in full sun. 
The Umbellatum Lilies 
These consist of numerous varieties with vigorous, showy, upright 
flowers related to Elegans and Croceum. They are a healthy, satis- 
factory lot, mostly 1 to 2/2 feet tall, a few 4 feet, with a wide range 
of color and easiest culture, thriving in average garden soil, sun or 
partial shade. All Umbellatums are ideal lilies for the hardy border, 
massing well between Iris or Peonies, where they hold their own 
admirably. Fine for pot culture in a cool greenhouse. June-July. 
Planting depth 4 inches. 
UMBELLATUM Chief Chinook—854-This outstanding lily was first 
introduced by Mr. Kline in ‘41 and is today 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 blooms on a stem. Color is apricot at the base shading to 
capsicum red at the tips with a few mahogany spots. Like most 
Umbellatums it is highly resistant to disease and of easiest culture 
either in full sun or partial shade. Try it with dark blue Baptisia 
and lemon yellow Hemerocallis against a background of Pacific 
hybrid Delphinium. PD 4 inches. 
UMBELLATUM Golden Fleece—858-A very large bloom of a clear 
golden yellow with petals tipped scarlet. One of the most hand- 
some of the group. Good pot plant in the cool greenhouse. Stock 
limited. Ht. 2 to 2% ft. 
UMBELLATUM Vermilion Brilliant —360—A crimson-blood-red, one 
of the showiest of the lot. Petals are broad, sparsely spotted black. 
This is a stunning variety and we are glad to offer it again. Ht. 2 to 
22 ft. Mass six of these for a brilliant border display. They are 
long lived and develop fine large clumps. 
UMBELLATUM Incomparable —864-A rich crimson, the best of 
the medium reds. A vigorous showy Lily for the hardy border. Ht 2 
to 3 feet. Plentiful and inexpensive enough to use for mass color 
in the middle and foreground of the hardy border. All the Um- 
bellatums ‘‘look up’’ at you and make wonderful color masses. 
UMBELLATUM Mixed-—868-Contains the full color range of the 
strain and all heights. June to July. PD 4 inches. Few other plants 
will make the colorful display of bloom in the hardy border as will 
a mass planting of these mixed Umbellatums. Use a dozen or 25 
in a clump if your border is large and their gorgeous color will 
charm you. 
GOLDEN CHALICE HYBRIDS—870-In ‘46 we introduced for the 
first time another hybrid strain known as Umbellatum Dauricum 
Hybrids but these have now been renamed and ‘’Golden Chalice’ 
fits them remarkably well. This strain is extremely vigorous with a 
color range from clear lemon yellow through rich warm shades of 
gold and apricot-orange. June blooming. Height 2/2 to 4 feet. 
PD 5 inches. These hybrids are extremely drought resistant and 
seem to enjoy a warm dry spot in the border where they will flourish 
and flower freely with a minimum of care.

hardy border. Always plant them in groups of three or a half dozen 
or more. PD 4 inches. Late June to July.

able for several years. It is orange in the center, deepening to red

yellow to orange-yellow with few spots. It is dwarf, a distinct and

riety, erect in habit, bright reddish-orange. Makes a grand display 
in the border. It flowers later than most varieties. Ht. 1% to 2 ft.
