Hardy Lilies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of 
Lilies, the romance of the far corners of the earth in which many of 
them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and 
the wild crannies of America to delight you with their different grace 
and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors that offer you the 
pleasure of “pointing with pride.” Growing some of the stranger vari- 
eties gives you enjoyment and satisfaction like that of collecting rare 
jades and porcelains. 
Lilies are beginning to take their rightful place in American 
gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty but because of 
their challenge to the gardener’s originality and skill. As a group 
they are not the easiest flowers to grow; but in the past 20 years or 
so it has been demonstrdted that they are not particularly difficult 
Speciosum ilies 
The petals are well rolled back and are handsomely spotted, often 
branded with distinct color. The anthers are conspicuous for their size and 
coler, and extremely delicate poise. In addition to these attractive qualities, 
it has a strongly waved outline to the petals, which adds much to its 
beauty. It flowers through the late summer into autumn. The cultivation 
of this Lily is simple, sending up its flowering stems year after year in 
increasing numbers. 
Speciosum album 
Beautiful snow-white with a golden green stripe through the center of 
each petal, and anthers of a coppery tint. Alike in the form of the 
flower and in the way of growing, this Lily is one of the most beautiful 
we have. 
Large Bulbs, 7 to 8 inch circum. 
Each $1.15, Three $3.25, Doz. $12.50, 25 $24.00 
Speciosum magnificum 
Rich ruby-carmine, margined white; stout of substance and broad of 
petal, this variety stands out prominently on account of its vigorous 
growth as well as the size and depth of coloring. 
Large, No. 1 Bulbs Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00, 25 $15.50 
Mammoth Size Bulbs Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75, 25 $18.50 
Speciosum rubrum “‘Red Champion” 
A handsome deep colored variety of the Speciosum Lily. Superb for 
garden decoration, cut flowers or pot culture in a cool greenhouse. Our 
strain is uniform, disease free, vigorous, and AMERICAN GROWN. 
The foundation stock was discovered locally on the slopes of Mount 
Hood, where it had grown undisturbed for some forty years. It likes 
a situation in well drained soil. Likes light shade during the hottest 
part of the day. These are the main requirements for successful culture. 
The smaller sized bulbs suffer less shock in transplanting and are rec- 
Ommended for general garden purposes. Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep. 
Late August and early September flowering.

Healthy, American Grown °, 
Fk ybrid CAuratum ea licsane 
(Gold-Banded Lily) 
We take pleasure in offering a fine, healthy lot of American-grown bulbs 
from seed. The bulbs we offer have bloomed in the nursery and are 
definitely superior to the imported stock. While the bulbs are not as large, 
they produce an unusual amount of giant flowers and the plants are healthy 
and vigorous. The bulbs are sent to you in late autumn or early spring 
if weather is too cold. 
One of the outstanding offerings for this spring is the Hybrid Lilium 
Auratum. Blooms of Auratum Lily bulbs formerly only imported from Japan 
showed considerable variation. Seed saved from these varying forms and 
grown in this country produced bulbs which are not only free from Lily 
disease but produce flowers of astounding beauty and great variations. In 
fact, many are so different and beautiful as to defy comparison. If you 
have grown and known the Auratum Lily you will astounded to see the 
great beauty of the Hybrid Auratum. The bulbs offered are healthy and 
have already bloomed in the nursery. These require no more care than 
any otter Lily and will give you many years of enjoyment.

either—just enough so to stimulate gardening interest. And they pay 
well in distinctive results, a steady parade of changing bloom from 
June to late September. 
Lilies, unlike Narcissus bulbs, are not all grown in one locality 
under one and the same conditions, but are gathered together from 
many foreign countries. All ripen at different times of the year; there- 
fore, orders for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The require- 
ments of Lilies vary with each variety. We have a booklet on their 
culture, which will be sent to you upon receipt of 25 cents. Because 
of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of many planters, we do 
not guarantee Lilies to grow. We do, however, guarantee to supply 
you bulbs in good condition and will replace without charge any 
damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing from you. 
Lilium Regale 
(The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and also one of the easiest of Lilies to grow; 
it never fails—’’Lilium Regale” is truly a Royal Lily; worthy of a place in 
every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigorous grower with 
sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely covered with fine foliage. Center of 
flower flushed with yellow shading to white at outer edges; externally, the 
flowers are streaked with brown on the “‘ribs,’’ shaded through the almost 
translucent petals with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the 
color of the reverse of the petals and the gold shading of the throat 
is extraordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very floriferous and when 
thoroughly established, bears as high as 18 to 20 flowers.

Weiltin Giganteum 
Himalaicum 
The most majestic of Lilies, having 
stems 10 to 12 feet high when estab- 
lished, with large, handsome, long, white, 
trumpet-shaped, sweet scented flowers. 
Groups of this noble Lily in woodland or 
gardens produce a grand effect. It re- 
quires to become established before flow- 
ering freely and thrives best where there 
is an abundance of leaf soil. Plant very 
shallow. 
Each $3.00 
Western Sunset Lily 
(Pardalinum Californicum Select) 
This brilliant Lily is of easiest culture, 
in fact, it’s “‘fool-proof.”” It is vigorous, 
dependable, very hardy, and multiplies 
rapidly. It does equally well in full sun 
or shade. They reach a height of five to 
six feet. Stems are stout and require no 
staking. A clump of six or a dozen when 
in bloom makes a brilliant picture in any 
garden. Each stem is topped with a dozen 
or more beautiful flowers in July. The 
petals are somewhat recurving and a bril- 
liant sunset-red, while the base of the 
bloom is yellow, beautifully marked with 
amber-brown dots.
