Lily Descriptions and Prices (Continued) 
‘¢+Harmony’’ — Wide-petaled, upright flowering 
lily in shades of rich and brilliant orange. Early 
flowering, it proved to be one of the finest in all 
our trials and was much admired by visitors. Long 
pedicels, large flowers, fine for cutting and large 
each, $0.50 
flower arrangements. 
“Joan Evans” — Named after the popular young 
Hollywood star, is a broad-petaled, bright, golden- 
yellow upright lily. It is late flowering and there- 
fore a particularly fine addition to our garden lilies. 
Carrying as many as from six to nine flowers on a 
Mid-Century Hybrids — Mixed 
thin, wiry and tough stem, it stands from four to 
five feet tall. Magnificent cut and show flower but 
equally good in the herbaceous border. Flowers at- 
tractively spotted maroon. each, $0.50 
“Pagoda” — Is one of the tallest uprights in our 
present collection. Scaled bulbs grew good three- 
foot stems and we believe that in the garden mature 
bulbs will produce stems of four feet. The flowers, 
six to eight carried on good pedicles and nicely ar- 
ranged, are of a true orange-chrome or Marigold 
orange. This lily seems to be a “natural” for large 
flower arrangements. each, $0.40 
After selecting sixteen clones out of these fine new hybrid lilies we had another sixty or more that 
were far too good to discard, yet looked too much like the named varieties to continue as clones. This group 
we have propagated as a mixture and we offer it at sharply reduced prices in order to acquaint as large 
as possible a group of gardeners with their beauty and usefulness. 
L. Rainbow Hybrids—The result of hybridizing 
various upright-flowering species, these lilies all 
have cup-shaped flowers that, like tulips, stand 
straight up. The colors vary from true golden yel- 
low, through all shades of orange to deepest mahog- 
any-red. We have grown this strain now for several 
years and each summer we are pleasantly surprised 
to note the gay and sparkling colors of these fine, 
vigorous lilies. Since we grow the strain from seed, 
it is entirely free from all bulb-borne diseases and 
pests. We offer this mixture of all colors: 
per 1000, 4-5” $160.00; 5-6” $200.00 
L. pardalinum giganteum “Sunset” — One of the 
most popular lilies we grow, this supposed natural 
hybrid between L. Humboldtii and L. pardalinum 
is a trouble free, strong growing lily which does 
well in almost any situation. As the other hybrids 
of the west coast native lilies, it prefers slight shade 
and moist, cool soil. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep, ina 
location where it can grow undisturbed and it will 
rapidly form a large clump. Height 4 to 6 feet. 
The bright red tipped recurved flowers open in 
early July. per 1000, 5-6” $150.00; 6-7” $200.00 
L. pumilum — Formerly called L. tenuifolium or 
the Coral lily, is one of the most easily grown and 
most popular lilies in this country. On thin, wiry

per 1000, 4-5” $200.00; 5-6” $250.00 
stems, seldom more than two feet tall, numerous 
bright scarlet or lacquer-red flowers are borne. Pre- 
fers full sun and a well-drained location. Stem- 
rooting, plant four inches deep. 
per 1000, 3-4” $60.00; 4-5” $80.00 
L. pumilum “Golden Gleam” — Seems to us to be 
merely a lighter, orange-colored form of L. pumi- 
lum. Using the lightest colored forms we are striv- 
ing to obtain a more marked differentiation in 
color and hope eventually to be able to re-introduce 
the original form of this nice lily which was reputed 
to have been golden-yellow. 
per 1000, 3-4” $100.00; 4-5” $125.00 
L. regale — This most widely grown of all trumpet 
lilies was introduced in 1903 by E. H. Wilson and 
was distributed by the Wayside Gardens just prior 
to World War I. In our considered opinion L. regale 
as it is offered now in the trade has nothing to 
recommend it. It is a most prolific, sturdy and 
hardy trumpet lily but the flowers are smaller than 
in many of the new hybrid strains and the inflor- 
escence leaves much to be desired. 
per 1000, 6-7” $120.00; 7-8” $160.00; 8-9” $180.00 
L. Sargentiae Hybrids— Out of crosses between L. 
Sargentiae and L. Henryi and L. leucanthum we
