L. hansoni—A golden-yellow lily from Japan, with 
reflexed, pendant flowers of great substance, it is 
still rare in home-grown quality and hence rather 
expensive at present. Its main value lies in the fact 
that it crosses readily with L. martagon types to 
produce beautifully colored and spotted garden 
lilies. It is one of the hardiest lilies known, with 
deep green, glossy foliage in numerous whorls 
around the stem. From five to ten large flowers per 
stem. It does best in partial shade. 
per 1000, 5-7” $400.00; 7-9” $600.00 
L. henryi —This grand lily from central China is 
now the center of attraction in the lily world as the 
parent of the Aurelian hybrids. Yet, in its own 
right, it is a beautiful garden lily which should 
not be overlooked. The stems grow from five to 
eight feet tall, are of a purplish brown coloring and 
thickly covered with shining, dark green, pointed 
leaves. It flowers in late August for us with as many 
as twenty or more golden orange, recurved and pen- 
dant flower. It is a stem-rooter and likes slight shade. 
Since the tall, wiry stems bend with the wind and 
rain this lily is at its best when supported by stakes 
or shrubbery. 
per 1000, 6-7” $200.00; 7-8” $250.00; 8-9” $300.00 
L. “Hollywood Hybrids’ — This entirely new 
strain of hybrid lilies, offered by us for the first time 
last year, is the result of intercrossing the Preston 
Hybrids with some of our Mid-Century Hybrids. 
Since the latter are the result of crossing L. tigrinum 
with various upright flowering lilies, the strain is 
thus further modified by the admixture of L. davidi 
and L. concolor. The entirely new “‘break”’ that re- 
sulted, gave us new star-shaped lilies, some of which 
resemble giant L. concolor but with immense, 
hybrid vigor, large flowers and tall, dark brown 
stems. Again, as in the Mid-Century group, there 
are seedlings with pendant and outward-facing 
flowers. 
For the present we are confining the name “‘Hol- 
lywood Hybrids” to the star-shaped, upright-flow- 
ering types. We offer these Hollywood Hybrids 
Mixed in good flowering size at $300.00 per 1000. 
‘Jubilee’? — A sister seedling of Meteor, warmer 
in color and with larger flowers. The wiry, dark 
stems rise to a height of from five to seven feet, 
bearing dark green, glossy leaves in large num- 
bers, nicely spaced. Flowering size bulbs. 
each, $3.00 
‘“Meteor’’— Bright cherry-red describes the color 
better than any other hue; the flowers are star- 
shaped and face outward and up. Meteor is re-

markable for its brightness and its long wiry 
stem and its beautiful proportions and poise. Only 
actual photographs could begin to do it justice. 
Flowering size bulbs. each, $3.00 
*‘Roseanna McCoy”’— A bright orange, upright- 
flowering lily with from six to ten lovely star- 
shaped flowers per stem. The color is undoubtedly 
derived from L. concolor and this nice lily might 
well be described as a giant Concolor with hybrid 
vigor. It is especially recommended for cutting 
and for the larger herbaceous borders. Flowering 
size. each, $2.00 
L. japonicum—A beautifully shaped, elegant trum- 
pet lily of most refined coloring and habit. From 
one to five, fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers, borne 
on thin and wiry stems. We grow this lily from seed 
in a humus-filled sandy loam and it seems to thrive 
under those conditions. Color intensity varies from 
almost white to purplish-pink. We offer our Oregon- 
grown stock in good flowering size. 
per 1000, 4-5” $400.00; 5-6” $500.00 
L. longiflorum—variety “Croft” —A pure white, 
short-stemmed Easter lily which has been the sub- 
ject of much wild speculation during the recent 
war years. It is a greenhouse and florist flower and 
nae great merit for forcing in pots. It is not a garden 
ily. 
per 1000, 6-7” $160.00; 7-8” $250.00; 8-9” $320.00 
L. longiflorum—variety “Estate” —A tall form 
of L. longiflorum, and for that reason better suited 
for garden use than the Croft. Neither variety is 
entirely hardy. Their pure white flowers can be 
very attractive in special settings. They are too 
formal and too short to fit in well in most gardens. 
per 1000, 6-7” $160.00; 7-8” $250.00; 8-9” $320.00 
L. martagon album—The pure white form of the 
long cultivated Martagon lily that is so popular in 
Europe and England. The dainty waxy flowers are 
gracefully placed and form a symmetrical pyramid 
on 4-foot stems. One of the most permanent of all 
lilies, once it is happily settled it will increase from 
year to year, forming larger and finer spikes. Our 
seedlings have prospered extremely well and the 
bright yellow bulbs are sound and healthy. It should 
be planted not deeper than four inches in a well 
drained sunny location. Best grown among low 
evergreen shrubs. Martagon album is equally use- 
ful in the cottage garden or estate woodland. 
per 1000, 5-6” $400.00; 6-7” $500.00
