SPECIOSUM LILIES 
(commonly known as Orchid Lilies ) 
There is hardly a plant that contributes so generously 
to the beauty of the garden and rewards the lover of 
flowers so richly for the little care devoted to it as this 
group of lilies. Given the right location, a soil well drained 
and mixed with a generous amount of peatmoss, they will 
bloom year after year, increasing steadily. While import- 
ed stocks of this lily may grow to a height of 3-4 feet, often 
. will not bloom the first year, our Oregon grown bulbs, ac- 
cording to reports from our customers in the middle west 
did grow the first year after planting to a height of 6-feet, 
flowering accordingly. The flowers of our Speciosum are 
outstanding. We ship them yearly to florists all over the 
nation to be used for corsages, weddings, etc. We offer 
the following varieties this year: 
L. SPECIOSUM RUBRUM 
The flowers of large size have broad petals of white, suf- 
fused pink, spotted rose. Anthers chocolate brown. Frag- 
rant. Our stock of Rubrums was selected years ago out 
of a group of thousands of seedlings for form and color 
so we know that our bulbs are among the best obtainable. 
Each $1.00; 6 for $5.25; dozen $10.00 
L. SPECIOSUM MAGNIFICUM 
The flowers of this lily are truly magnificent. The stems 
are strong, dark purplish green, the foliage luxuriously 
glossy dark green. Magnificum is a more robust grower 
than the other types and according to our experience less 
affected by late spring frosts or summer heat. While we 
grow here in our gardens Rubrum and Magnificum in 
full sun, for other parts of the country we suggest lighé 
shade. To prevent the soil from drying out we suggest you 
use a 4” mulch of peatmoss on Speciosum beds. The flow- 
ers of Magnificum are a rich carmine red, margined white 
with crimson spots. Long graceful stamens with chocolate 
colored red anthers accentuate their beauty. Specimens 
will bloom for about a month during August and Sep- 
tember. Plant 6” deep. 
Large bulbs 9” up, each $1.50; 6 for $7.50; dozen $14.00 
SPECIOSUM ALBUM (new form) 
A very superior Oregon grown white Speciosum with 
larger flowers than Kraetzeri. Flowers have a great keep- 
ing quality. The light greenish midrib and golden anthers 
enhance the beauty of the clear white flower. Tall, robust 
plant with broader foliage than other forms and less re- 
curved flowers. 
Each $3.50 
L. SUTTON COURT (Backhouse Hybrid ) 
Flowers similar in shape to Hansonii and foliage is whorl- 
ed as in that species. The flowers are carried on stems 
4-6 feet and are basically pearl white, shaded over-all with 
lemon-yellow and with oxblood red spots and golden brown 
anthers. Best planted in partial shade. June flowering and 
very long lasting. Plant 5” deep, use plenty of peatmoss. 
Each $4.00 
UMBPELLATUM LILIES 
All umbellatums are lilies easy to grow and they es- 
tablish themselves readily in your garden. Give them a 
place in full sun or partial shade and you will enjoy their 
sturdy growth and varied gay colors. We offer the follow- 
ing selections. 
L. UMBELLATUM GOLDEN FLEECE (Hybrid ) 
The “Candlestick” flowerhead of this Umbellatum has 
large erect flowers of a golden yellow, petals tipped scar- 
let. A group of these lilies will provide a cheerful picture 
even on a dark day. Height 2-2% feet. June flowering.
