L. pardalinum giganteum “Sunset” — One of the 
most popular lilies we grow, this supposed natural 
hybrid between L. Humbotldtu 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, in a 
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” $165.00; 6-7” $210.00 
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 stems, 
seldom more than two feet tall, numerous bright 
scarlet or lacquer-red flowers are borne. Prefers full 
sun and a well-drained location. Stem-rooting, plant 
four inches deep. 
per 1000, 3-4” $75.00; 4-5” $90.00 
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” $90.00; 4-5” $150.00 
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. Mixture of all colors. 
per 1000, 4-5” $120.00; 5-6” $150.00 
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. The flowers are smaller than in 
many of the new hybrid strains and the inflorescense 
leaves much to be desired. 
per 1000, 6-7” $120.00; 7-8” $150.00; 8-9” $180.00 
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 
detinitely 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. 
per 1000, 6-7” $400.00; 7-8’ $500.00 
OREGON BULB FARMS 
GRESHAM, OREGON 
L. “Shuksan”—By far the best of the hybrids named 
and introduced by the late Dr. David C. Griffiths. 
It is the result of a cross between L. Humboldtii 
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 com- 
paratively large and transplant easily if not held in 
storage too long or allowed to dry out. F.C.C.R.H.S. 
1952. per 1000, 5-6” $165.00; 6-7” $240.00 
L. speciosum “Red Champion” — A variety of the 
red showy lily of Japan. A grand clone for garden 
decoration, cut flowers or pot culture in a cool 
greenhouse. Our strain is uniform, disease free and 
vigorous. The foundation stock was discovered lo- 
cally 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 
hottest 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 September 
flowering. 
per 1000, 6-7” $300.00; 7-8” $450.00; 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 infections 
so prevalent among imported bulbs and these two 
factors have in the past been largely responsible 
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. 
6-7’ $1.00 each; 7-8” $1.50 each 
L. “Talisman”—We offer this year only one lily 
which besides Tigrinwm-Umbellatum blood also 
shows L. Willmottiae blood. This is the choice nov- 
elty “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 nu- 
merous black-brown bulbils in the axils of the dark- 
green leaves. 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” $180.00; 6-8’ $240.00
