Lily Descriptions and Prices (Continued) 
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 
vigorous than the parent type. This strain is defin- 
itely 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 hy- 
brids; which are again two weeks or more later. 
per 1000, 6-7’’, $400.00; 7-8'’, $500.00 
L. ‘‘Shuksan’’ —By far the best of the hybrids 
named and introduced by the late Dr. David C. 
Griffiths. It is theresult of a cross between L. Hum- 
boldtii 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 transplant easily if not 
held in storage too long or allowed to dry out. 
per 1000, 5-6", $150.00; 6-7", $200.00 
L. ‘‘Sierra Hybrids’’—Out of the ‘‘Hollywood Hy- 
brids’’ we have segregated a number of fine lilies 
with very large, star-shaped but outward-facing 
flowers. Again the color range is wide and varies 
from light orange-yellow to deepest maroon-red. We 
are planning to observe this strain for a few more 
years before we introduce it generally but for the 
few lily connoisseurs who are anxious to see this 
new type of lily we offer them in limited quantities 
asa mixed strainat the special price of: each,$1.00 
L. speciosum rubrum ‘‘Red Champion’’—A variety 
of the red showy lily of Japan. A grand clone for 
garden decoration, cut flowers or pot culture ina 
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 undisturbed 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 hot- 
test 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 recom- 
mended for general garden purposes. Plant the 
bulbs 6 inches deep. Late August and early Sep- 
tember flowering, 
per 1000, 6-7'’, $400.00; 7-8’’, $480.00; 8-9'’, $600.00

L. speciosum ‘‘White Champion’’—The highly 
prized white form of Speciosum ‘‘Red Champion"’. 
Our stocks are free from basal rot and mosaic in- 
fections so prevalent among imported bulbs and 
these two factors have in the past been largely re- 
sponsible for the frequent failures with this lily. 
Flowering ten days to two weeks later than the red 
form, it is one of the loveliest of cut flowers. Light 
shade is necessary in warmer climates to prevent 
flowers from burning and opening too rapidly. 
per 1000, 6-7'', $800.00; 7-8"’, $1000.00 
L. ‘‘Talisman’’—We offer this year only one lily 
which besides Tigrinum-Umbellatum blood also — 
markedly shows L. Willnottiae 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 
reflexed 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, 5-6’’, $200.00; 6-8’’, $250.00 
L. ‘‘Tiger Hybrids’’—These are the pendant-flow- 
ering types from the ‘‘Hollywood Hybrids’’. Again 
they come ina wide color range and their strongly 
erect, dark brown stems are crowned by beautifully 
spaced and well balanced heads of flowers, all of 
them nodding and reflexed. In selecting the colors 
we have tried to steer away from the usual and com- 
mon ‘‘blood-red’’ or ‘‘ox-blood red’’ and have paid 
special attention to the golden oranges, the cherry- 
reds and the maroon shades. For, the connoisseurs 
and lily fanciers we offer a few of these fine new 
lilies, in good flowering size, at: each, $1.00 
L. tigrinum, var. splendens—The well-known Tiger 
lily from China and Japan. The large scentless, nod- 
ding 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 best of all Tiger 
lilies. per 1000, 4-5'’, $150.00; 5-6’, $200.00 
L. tigrinum, var. flore-pleno—A double-flowering 
monstrosity. 
per 1000, 4-5’’, $200.00; 5-6’’, $250.00
