skiekack AMERICAN SPECIES 24:83: 
Once again we draw our customers’ attention to the American lily 
species and their hybrids, 
Mr. F. J. Rose, the distinguished English lily specialist, recently said: 
“Some times I think the North Americans are possibly the best of all 
lilies e901 
Anyone who has, for instance, seen a large clump of L. PARRYI or 
L. GRAYI growing in a garden setting specially prepared for them or 
massed L. PARDALINUM GIGANTEUM, L. BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS 
or L. MICHIGANENSE as a background in a perennial bed will echo 
Mr. Rose’s sentiments. 
Our list this year includes a number of valuable additions, and as 
usual the bulbs are for the most part our own propagations or have been 
grown for at least a year in our plantings and are of first class quality. 
L. BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS* 3 for $2.50; 6 for $4.80; 12 for $9.40. 
The bulbs of this group which we offer are from our own crosses of L. 
PARDALINUM x L. HUMBOLDTII x L. PARRYI and are vigorous, 
reflexed lilies of various combinations of yellow, orange and red, 
heavily marked. The named varieties listed below are, however, 
selections from the original David Griffiths collection. BELLINGHAM
