LILIUM SPECIOSUM 
SARGENTIAE Hybrids-75/7—These are seedlings of the species 
Sargentiae so there is some variation in them. We know of no stock 
of the true species which is free from disease and therefore do not 
offer it. These seedlings are a magnificent group, flowering late 
July into August. They have large trumpets, reddish-brown out- 
side, creamy-white inside with a golden throat. Ht. 4 to 5 ft. PD 6 in. 
3 for $3.65, each $1.35, Doz. $14.50 
SULPHUR Hybrids—793-This is a grand strain of pale yellow to 
sulphur-yellow trumpet lilies, which, flowering in July are most 
welcome. They are selections from a cross of Crows Hybrids with 
the very beautiful Sulphreum, vigorous, healthy, asking no pamper- 
ing. You'll find them most worth while. Ht. 5 to 6 ft. PD 6 in. 
3 for $8.70, each $3.15 
BOOKS ABOUT LILIES 
SPECIOSUM “Red Champion’’—781-The so-called ‘Showy Lily of 
Japan’’ but now grown in Oregon in the foothills of our snow 
covered Mt. Hood. You will love its frilly blooms. Give it a well 
drained spot with light shade during the heat of mid-day and be 
sure the soil is fairly fertile. If yours is not naturally rich, use our 
scientifically designed Lily Feeding program, outlined on page 18. 
Red Champion is a brilliant carmine-red with white margins. Plant 
in the fall, covering with 6 inches of soil. Ht. 3 to 4 ft. August to 
September. 3 for $2.75, each $1.00, Doz. $10.90 
SPECIOSUM “White Champion’’—773-Here’s a sparkling white lily 
you will like. The white form of Speciosum is not well known. Com- 
paratively few have ever seen it but without question, it is one of the 
loveliest of all lilies. You will like its sparkling, jewel-like luster. A 
clump of three bulbs of this beauty, planted in light shade, will be 
one of the big highlights of the garden season. This fine lily, like 
the Red Champion above, is grown right here in Oregon and you 
will find the bulbs top quality. White Champion flowers later than 
the red form and you will like it all the more for this. The culture 
is the same for all the Speciosums.

TIGRINUM Diploid Form—807-For years customers have been ask- 
ing for the old fashioned Tiger lilies and we have bzen unable to 
supply them as all available bulbs were diseased. Now we have 
them in virus free, seed grown bulbs. Not only are they welcome for 
old times sake and their brilliant color but they are invaluable for 
hybridizing. Many of our finest new hybrids contain Tiger blood.

HUMBOLDTII Hybrids—397-This is an entirely new strain with 
much promise, the first time we have offered it. The species, Hum- 
boldtii Magnificum, offered on page 14 is a striking lily but like 
most specie froms, is not too adaptable to average conditions. In 
these hybrids we have a very strong, vigorous form, golden-orange, 
dotted maroon with the tips of the petals flame colored. Immense 
flower heads on established plants are produced in profusion, 50 to 
75 per stem. Ht. 5 to 6 ft. July. PD 6 in. Supply limited.

THEY SAY... 
Springfield, Ill. 
“The bulbs came in splendid condition and I planted them all as 
directed in your ‘Success with Lilies’. We had some wonderful blooms 
and I took first prize with Golden Chalice at our Flower Show. I’m 
sending you another order, much larger this time and I want another 
copy of your ‘Success with Lilies’ for a friend.”

Thousands of green-thumb gardeners are 
experimenting with Colchicine, the MIRACLE 
DRUG, and we are happy to announce the 
coming publication of a new and very prac- 
tical how-to-do-it book, written just for the 
home gardener, will be off the press this fall. 
It is by James P. Haworth, the author of that 
fascinating volume ‘’Plant Magic,’’ about 
plant mutations and work with Colchicine. 
We sold every available copy of ‘Plant 
Magic,’’ completely exhausting the publish- 
er’s supply. This new book brings you up to 
date on this wonderful drug which has pro- 
duced so many new and unusual plants. It 
tells in great detail just how to go about 
experimenting. It is illustrated with numerous 
sketches and photographs. Mr. Haworth has 
been working with Colchicine for two dec- 
ades and you will find this, his second book 
on the subject, a most fascinating guide for 
practical experimenting. 
This new book on Colchicine in the home 
garden by Haworth, will be published this 
fall. Order your copy now—postpaid $1.50
