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 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: 
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 
SPECIOSUM LITTLE STAR 
Some years ago this new unusual type showed up in a 
group of our speciosum lilies. Not quite as tall as magni- 
ficum, foliage is broader and the flowers are smaller than 
any other speciosum, the buds ready to open are only 2%” 
long. They do not recurve as much as Rubrum, indeed a 
beautiful star shaped flower. Excellent for corsages. Bulbs 
increase rapidly by division in addition to stem bulblets. 
Color similar to magnificum. 
Each $1.50; 6 for $7.50 
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 light 
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 anthers accentuate their beauty. Specimens will 
bloom for about a month during August and September. 
Plant 6” deep. 
Large bulbs 9” up, each $1.50; 6 for $7.50; Dozen $14.00 
SPECIOSUM RUBRUM 
The flowers of very large size have broad petals of white 
suffused pink, spotted rose. Anthers chocolate brown. Fra- 
grant. From thousands of seedlings we selected some 
years ago the best forms and colors, assuring uniformity. 
Our Rubrum lilies are far superior to the usual imported 
mixtures sold under this name. 
Extra large bulbs, each $1.00; 6 for $5.25; Doz. $9.00 
SUTTON COURT (Backhouse Hybrid) 
Flowers similar in shape to Hansonii and foliage is whorled 
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 an- 
thers. A flower for the lover of dainty and exquisite plants. 
Plant in partial shade, June flowering and very long last- 
ing. Plant 5” deep, use plenty of peatmoss. 
Each $4.00
