L. Sargentiae—We offer the true form of this species 
which is interesting and valuable because of its habit of 
bearing stem bulbils in the axils of the leaves. The flowers 
are true trumpet shape, somewhat longer and more for- 
mal than the Olympic Hybrids. Not so free flowering 
nor as tall as the other trumpets, it is none the less dis- 
tinctive and particularly valuable where a perfectly uni- 
form planting is desired. Compatible with several other 
species and hybrids it is very useful in hybridizing and 
is a parent of several well known hybrids. 
Of the same general culture of the Olympic Hybrids, 
L. Sargentiae flowers even later and extends the season 
another ten days to two weeks.

L. Sargentiae Hybrids—Out of crosses between L. 
Sargentiae and L. Henryi and L. leucanthum we have 
selected a strain of late-flowering hybrids that have 
particularly well-shaped trumpets and are more vigor- 
ous than the parent type. This strain is definitely 
restricted to trumpet lilies. It has been selected by us in 
response to a strong demand for late-flowering trumpet 
lilies, to follow the Olympic Hybrids and to extend their 
season. Eventually we hope to add a similar strain of 
L. sulphureum hybrids, which are again two weeks or 
more later.

L. “Shuksan’’"—By far the best of the hybrids named 
and introduced by the late Dr. David C. Griffith. It is 
the result of a cross between L. Humboldtii magnificum 
and L. pardalinum. A handsome, easily grown, disease 
resistant garden lily. Similar in type and habit to our 
Bellingham Hybrids of which it is one of the parents, 
L. Shuksan is happy under the same conditions and 
treatment. The bulbs are comparatively large and trans- 
plant easily if not held in storage too long or allowed to 
dry out. per 1000, 5-6”, $150.00; 6-7”, $200.00 
L. speciosum album—The highly prized white form 
of Speciosum rubrum. Somewhat smaller and less robust 
than the type. It is, however, not difficult to grow. Our 
stocks have been free from basal rot and mosaic infec- 
tions so prevalent among imported bulbs and these two 
factors have in the past been largely responsible for the 
frequent failures with this lily. Flowering ten days to two 
weeks later than the red form, it is one of the loveli- 
est of cut flowers. Light shade is necessary in warmer cli- 
mates to prevent the flowers from burning and opening 
too rapidly. per 1000, 5-6’’, $800.00; 6-7””, $1000.00

L. speciosum rubrum “Red Champion”—A vari- 
ety of the red showy lily of Japan. A grand clone for 
garden decoration, cut flowers or pot culture in a cool 
greenhouse. Our strain is uniform, disease free and 
vigorous. The foundation stock was discovered locally 
on the slopes of Mount Hood, where it had grown undis- 
turbed for some forty years. This lily has not proven to 
be as difficult as many writers would have us believe. 
A situation in well drained soil where it can receive 
light shade during the hottest part of the day is the main 
requirement for successful culture. The heavy basal roots 
make a fall growth and consequently it may require a 
year to become well established. The smaller sized bulbs 
suffer less shock in transplanting and are recommended 
for general garden purposes. Plant the bulbs 6 inches 
deep. Late August and early September flowering.

L. “Talisman’’—We offer this year only one lily which 
besides Tigrinum-Umbellatum blood also markedly 
shows L. Willmottiae blood. This is the choice novelty 
“Talisman” which we describe as follows: This is a lily 
which in flowering habit and color resembles the well- 
known L. Maxwill, but which bears numerous black- 
brown bulbils in the axils of the dark-green leaves. It has 
shown itself to be of great value in breeding, but should 
also find ready acceptance as a garden plant. This lily 
will bear up to fifteen large, nodding flowers with re- 
flexed petals, orange-red in color and densely spotted 
with purplish black. The thin, but very strong and wiry 
stem grows up to six feet tall. The bulb is of medium 
size. It flowers in July when its brilliant coloring makes 
it quite conspicuous in the garden. 
per 1000, 4-6’’, $200.00; 6-8”, $250.00 
L. tigrinum, var. splendens—The well-known Tiger 
lily from China and Japan. The large scentless, nodding 
flowers open late in August and are of a peculiar and 
attractive pinkish-orange coloring, heavily spotted with 
purplish-black dots. This lily produces numerous black 
bulbils in the axils of the leaves. The form we offer is 
the hest of all Tiger lilies. 
per 1000, 4-5’, $150.00; 5-6’, $200.00 
L. tigrinum, var. flore-pleno—A double-flowering 
monstrosity which we grow in small quantity because 
some old-fashioned seedsmen persist in listing it. It has 
a few extra petals but nothing else distinguishes it from 
the ordinary Tiger lily. Our selected forms of the Splen- 
dens variety make a much better garden plant.
