and must have our orders in hand before July first. 
These lilies will be pure white and of finest form only. 
Most of them show a greenish rib or stripe on the reverse 
of each petal. In random sizes only, $3.00 
L. cernuum—A most attractive little lily from Korea 
and Manchuria. Looking in form and habit like L. pumi- 
lum, it has small, nodding, violet-lilac flowers with dark- 
er lilac tinted pollen. It is a rare and beautiful lily and 
we are very fortunate to be able to offer it from Oregon- 
grown stocks. per 1000, 3-4’, $500.00; 4-5’”, $600.00 
L. chaleedonicum—A glorious lacquer-red lily from 
Greece. It is the seed parent of L. testaceum and was 
called some three hundred years ago the “Scarlet Marta- 
gon of Constantinople”, but also, in many English vil- 
lages, “Turn again Gentlemen”, for its vivid red color 
made all travelers look around once more. Flowers in 
July with from two to five flowers on mature plants. We 
have found this species of easy culture, but definitely 
subject to virus diseases. We recommend it therefore 
only for hybridizing purposes where isolation can be 
given to it. per 1000, 5-6’’, $800.00; 6-7”, $1000.00 
L. concolor—One of our favorite members of the lily 
family, this little flower is one of the best. In late spring 
and early summer the cheerful, bright red star-shaped 
flowers open on thin wiry stems. Concolor is of the 
easiest culture and asks only for a warm, sunny spot in 
well drained soil. Plant it in groups in the herbaceous 
border where its gaily colored flowers will show to best 
advantage. Also put a few bulbs in the cutting garden 
as it is one of the best of the lilies for cut flower pur- 
poses. An excellent market grower’s flower, it will be- 
come more popular as American-grown supplies become 
more plentiful. All our bulbs are from seedling stock 
and exhibit the vigor characteristic of healthy seedlings. 
The solid bulbs are sound, creamy white in color 
turning pink on exposure to light. Plant 3 to 4 inches 
deep in groups of not less than five. Height 21 to 4 feet. 
per 1000, 3-4’’, $200.00; 4-5’, $300.00 
L. Davidii—variety ““Maxwill’’—This lily is offered 
in the trade under a wide variety of names. Holland 
growers now offer a strain under the name of L. Will- 
mottiae “improved” which is nothing but a gathering 
of Maxwill type lilies. We now have discontinued grow- 
ing any of the variously named types of L. Willmottiae 
and are confining our production to a very superior 
form of L. Davidii, which, in the opinion of all visitors 
to our farms and trial grounds, is the best of the lot. 
Our strain of L. Davidii has tall, straight stems and does 
not wander underground, to emerge in adjoining flower 
beds or in the middle of your garden paths. On stems

that are from four to seven feet tall, it bears from twenty 
to thirty large bright orange flowers, gracefully spaced 
on long and slender pedicels. Trouble-free and resistant 
to all pests and diseases, this lily promises to be one of 
the most popular garden plants. Plant the bulbs from 
five to six inches deep where it will receive full sun. 
per 1000, 4-5’, $160.00; 5-6’, $200.00; 6-7”, $300.00 
L. “Fiesta Hybrids®”—As cheerful and gaily colored 
as the name implies, this new race of seedlings has 
neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on thin wiry stems. 
Resulting from crosses between L. Davidii (L. Willmot- 
tiae) and related types, they are one of the brightest 
patches of color in our lily fields during July. Extremely 
uniform as to flowering time and habit, the pleasing 
variations in color and form of flower enhance their 
beauty and usefulness. This is one of the few crosses 
which has produced no inferior types. The colors range 
from bright yellow through orange to a beautiful dark 
rich red. The latter color is new to this type of lily. Most 
of the flowers are of the typical recurved turks-cap 
shape and many of the plants have blossoms facing out- 
ward or somewhat upward with the petals only slightly 
recurved. A sun-loving group, plant them 5 to 6 inches 
deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Propa- 
gation is most rapid from the numerous underground 
stem bulblets which may be separated from the old 
stem in the fall and replanted near the mother bulb. 
Resistant to mosiac, this group has proven a wonderful 
addition to the garden lilies. Excellent cut flowers, the 
stems are easy to handle and arrange and the colors are 
particularly attractive indoors. Award of Merit, Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society 1946. 
per 1000, 4-5’, $400.00; 5-6’”, $500.00 
L. formosanum—tall, late strain—tThe latest flow- 
ering of all the popular lilies, this white trumpet type is 
particularly desirable for gardening in moderate cli- 
mates. The plants are often in flower as late as December 
here on the Pacific Coast. Of easiest culture, this lily 
should be in every garden. Our strain is tall and free 
flowering and has been grown from selected plants for 
several generations. 
The bulbs are very small, but should be planted 5 to 
6 inches deep since Formosanum produces very heavy 
stem roots. Full sun or partial shade suits it well and 
for better flower production some water should be pro- 
vided during the hottest part of the summer.
