Our displays of Hardy Liliums have secured 
numerous awards of gold and silver medals 
at exhibitions during the past few years. On 
June 28, 1933, an exhibit of 60 varieties in 
Boston on the occasion of the annual conven¬ 
tion of the American Rose Society was awarded 
a gold medal, this contained a number of new 
and rare varieties. 
We wish to draw special attention to our 
collection of Lilium seeds which is the most 
complete offered in America. Many varieties 
will germinate within 3-4 weeks and a few 
will bloom the second season. If started under 
glass in heat certain kinds can be flowered 
the same year including Philippinense For- 
mosanum. We have made shipments of Lilium 
seeds to France, Great Britain, Soviet Russia, 
Japan, British Honduras, Cuba, South Africa, 
New Zealand and Italy.
