RADIANCE-675-An Umbellatum Hybrid (1949 introduction). 
These new lilies are a distinct improvement of older forms not only 
in freedom of bloom but in their resistance to disease and vigorous 
growth. Radiance is a warm orange-red with large blooms which 
make a remarkable show in the border. June-July blooming, 22 
to 4 feet tall, PD 4 inches, full sun or partial shade. Don’t over- 
look these upright lilies for border planting. They may well produce 
the gayest spot in your whole border. 
MEI LING-155-An Aurelian Hybrid. Special Selection. A very 
free flowering lily with 25 or more blooms when established. Me- 
dium size, cream colored, shading to old gold in the center, flat- 
faced with recurving tips. A stunning new lily which received an 
Award of Merit at the Boston show of the Massachusetts Horticul- 
tural Society 1947. These new lilies are the lilies of the future when 
they will be grown in every garden just are Regals are today. 
DUNKIRK-285-Another new variety, first offered in 1948, a new 
hybrid by Mr. F. L. Skinner of Canada who has given us many good 
lilies. This lily is a deep blood-red with out facing blooms slightly 
flattened and the tips of the petals somewhat recurved. July 
flowering. Height 4 feet. PD 4 inches. 
FLAMINGO-305-Here’s a new lily, first offered in 1948. It is a 
seedling from a cross of Umbellatum, Dauricum and Elegans, vigor- 
ous grower with large cup-shaped blooms having very broad over- 
lapping petals and an ideal candelabra form. The color does not fade 
and is best described as salmon-pink. Height 2 to 3 feet. PD 4 
inches. 
CARDINAL-207-Here’s a new fire red lily with nodding, spotted 
blooms similar in form to the old Tiger Lily, one of its seed parents. 
The other parent is the attractive little lily, Amabile. Cardinal is 
free blooming, vigorous, four to five feet tall with strong stems. 
This was first offered in 1948 and is truly worth while. PD 4 to 5 
inches. Blooms July. 
CATESBAEI-208-The only native American lily except Philadel- 
phicum with erect flowers. They are borne singly, yellow and scarlet 
with brown spots, blooming a month later than Superbum. Attrac- 
tive but not hardy outside except where frost is almost unknown. 
In the cool greenhouse it is practically evergreen. A true swamp 
lily, it should never want for water. Planting deptn (PD) 3 inches. 
Partial shade with plenty of peat. 
PARDALINUM, Short Form—591-A selection from the type growing 
Neu and Rare Lilies 
GALAHAD-341-A new hybrid trumpet lily from crosses and re- 
crosses of Sulphureum, Sargentiae and Regale. Blooms in late sum- 
mer in a lovely shade of sulphur-yellow. Galahad is a strong grow- 
ing, robust lily and very hardy, carrying up to 14 blooms in a 
pyramidal raceme of great beauty. Stock is limited so better order 
early. PD 6 inches. 
TANGERINE-850-We introduced this new lily in 1946. It is an 
Umbellatum hybrid, pure tangerine in color with numerous, well 
spaced, upright blooms. In the garden it makes a brilliant show 
and considering its vigorous, healthy growth and adaptability to 
average soils, it will enjoy a hearty welcome. June-July. Height 
3 to 4 feet. PD 4 inches. Stock limited. 
Rare Burama Lilies 
Late last winter we received a shipment of seed and a few bulbs 
of the rare Burma lilies Bakerianum and Ochraceum. The seed 
will be sold at $1.00 per packet while it lasts. The bulbs we 
are growing to check their trueness to name and freedom from 
disease before offering them. If you are interested in them, 
please write me. These have not been available since the be- 
ginning of the war. These are greenhouse lilies except where 
frosts are very light. 

MEDEOLOIDES-—546-A rare lily from the Orient we've not been 
able to offer for some time. It is Martagon type, producing two 
to four nodding blooms, apricot to scarlet in color and spotted 
black. Partial shade and a light soil with ample humus is to its 
liking. Height 1 Y% to 2 feet. PD 3 inches. 
FIESTA HYBRIDS-—245-We offered this grand new strain of lilies 
for the first time in 1946 under the name of Dr. Abels Hybrids but 
last year they were renamed most fittingly as you will agree when 
you see them. They are Martagon type, on thin wiry stems, 3 to 6 
feet tall, in brilliant shades of bright yellow, through orange to a 
beautiful dark red. Colors are clear and delightful with many of the 
blooms facing outward and upward. Fiesta is a grand cut flower, 
delightfully attractive indoors. 
but 3 to 4 feet tall and more free flowering. Blooms are slightly 
smaller. This lily is of the easiest culture in sun or partial shade; FIESTA HYBRIDS 
however, in semi-shade it will grow a bit taller. Experts consider the Parda- 
liums among the most satisfactory of all the west coast natives as they are 4 
very adaptable to a wide variety of conditions. They make fine large clumps 
in full sun. PD 4 inches. 
SKINNER’S ORANGE-772-A new hybrid of our native Philadelphicum and 
very much worth while. The bright orange biooms are spotted with brown 
and held erect on stems | 2 to 2 feet tall. An excellent border lily, probably 
best in partial shade. June. PD 4 in. 
CERNUUM-218-A most attractive little lily, rosy-lilac spotted wine-purple, 
delightfully fragrant. Similar to our lovely L. Tenuifolium in form and as easy 
to grow. The only trouble with this variety is, we can never supply even half 
the demand. This year we will have to limit orders to not more than five bulbs 
to a customer and orders will be filled strictly in rotation as received. This 
dainty little lily is ideal for the rock garden or front of your border. Its 
nodding, reflexed blooms are produced two to six on slender stems one to 
three feet tall in mid-July. PD 3 inches. Full sun. 
FRESH DUG versus IMPORTED BULBS 
A\l our lily bulbs are fresh dug right here in the Pacific Northwest. 
Believing our customers want healthy, disease free stocks, we do not sell 
imported lilies. Many years of sad experience with diseased bulbs, most of 
them badly dried out from long storage, have convinced us that imported 
bulbs, even though sometimes cheaper, are far more costly in the end.
