LILIUM SPECIOSUM 
SPECIOSUM Oregon Giant—782-This is the most popular of all the 
Speciosums we offer and deservedly so. Its blooms are large, freely 
produces, the petals are broad, the form and color are exceptionally 
fine, all in all, it tops the list and as more ample stocks are avail- 
able, it will be even more popular. In general it is the Punctatum 
type, white with pink blotches and spots. You would call it a pink 
lily and simply fall in love with it. Long lived, vigorous and 
healthy, it thrives most anywhere. Our reports on Oregon Giant 
from down Texas way are most gratifying. It seems to be an extra 
good lily in the south. Height 3 to 5 feet. PD 6 in. Stocks are 
more ample than last year but not unlimited. Early orders are 
advised.

SPECIOSUM Punctatum—/78-Similar to Rubrum but flowering a 
week to ten days earlier, thus extending the season of this grand 
group of lilies. Like the rest it is a vigorous lily with sturdy three 
to six foot stalks carrying up to twenty frilly, recurved, pendant 
blooms, doubly welcome in the mid-summer border. Partial shade 
is to its liking as the color is a bit more delicate than the others. 
Stocks have been limited until the past three years and the supply 
is still far from ample. Early orders are advised. You'll find this 
early Speciosum a distinct addition to your garden. 
Each $1.75, 3 for $4.85, Doz. $19.25 
SPECIOSUM-AURATUM COLLECTION 
No. 34-E 
Imagine agroup planting of Auratums and Speciosums flower- 
ing from mid-July well into September or even later. It is 
perfectly practical and altogther lovely. A mass planting with 
three or more of a kind would make a never-to-be-forgotten 
picture. Garden opportunities like this lead to our offering 
a collection containing one each of the early, mid-season and 
late Auratums together with Speciosum Punctatum (the early 
form), Kraetzeri (white) and two bulbs of Oregon Giant —- 
seven bulbs in all. Plant them in an irregular group about a 
foot or fifteen inches apart and you're in for a treat of garden 
beauty for many weeks. We offer the above seven bulbs, 
packed and labeled separtely—shipped in November. 
Speciosum-Auratum Collection No. 34-E—7 bulbs $10.85 
Three of these collections—21 bulbs $31.50 
Postage paid. 
Lilium Spneciodum 
For all around satisfaction, these lilies would probably top any list. 
Not only exquisitely beautiful, they thrive in the average garden 
without special effort. In soil well prepared and containing ample 
humus, they are long lived, growing vigorously for many years. 
Speciosums do not like a hot dry soil. In a cool moist soil (per- 
fectly possible with good drainage, humus and a ground cover 
planting) , they will reward you handsomely. Partial shade from hot 
sun prolongs their flowering period. Speciosums are easily the 
highlight of the late summer garden. 
SPECIOSUM Magnificum—779-This and Melpomene are the most 
brilliantly colored of the species. Magnificum is heavily toned with 
deep ruby-carmine and spotted crimson, the darkest colored of all. 
For border display, three or six of them make a truly spectacular 
show. This and the other Speciosums all show off better against a 
dark green background. August into September.

SPECIOSUM Kratezeri-775—-An extra choice variety, white with a 
pale green stripe in the center of each petal, brown anthers and the 
exterior tinged green. Truly it’s a delightful lily. The frilly, re- 
curved and pendant blooms are like sparkling crystal. Sturdy stems, 
3 to 4 feet, carry up to twenty blooms when well established. Give 
each bulb plenty of room when planting as they make large clumps, 
sometimes four feet in diameter. Fill in among them with companion 
plants until they begin to make large clumps. The white forms espe- 
cially, should have a green background to appear at their best.

SPECIOSUM Pure White Strain—783-—A new collected strain from an 
isolated section of Japan we grew here for the first time three 
years ago. !t is pure white with prominent yellow anthers. The more 
we see of it the more we are impressed with its very high quality. 
No variety name has as yet been given to it. For hybridizers this 
lily should be most valuable. The supply is very scarce, so please 
order early. Each $2.95, 3 for $8.15 
SPECIOSUM Rubrum—780-Discontinued. We consider Oregon 
Oregon Giant so very superior that it is felt the old Rubrum type 
will not be missed. 
NOTE—Don't overlook Jillian Wallace on page 10. It’s a new 
hybrid of Auratum and Speciosum, one of the most startling 
of all the new lilies. It is still costly but so very outstanding 
you will want it anyhow. 
WASHINGTONIANUM Purpureum—880-Our beloved Mt. Hood 
Lily, one of the loveliest of all the west coast natives. Our stock is 
all nursery grown and the supply extremely limited. This lily carries 
up to 30 funnel-shaped blooms opening white with purple dots in 
the throat. As the bloom ages it becomes lilac-purple. Fragrant. 
Plant in a loose gravelly soil, with plenty of leaf mold, partial shade 
and PERFECT drainage. Generally takes a year to establish itself 
after planting. PD 5 in. Ht. 3 to 6 ft. June-July. 
Each $2.50, 3 for $6.95
