SUMMER AND FALL 1934 SEED AND BULB CATALOG 
Bulb Section 
All bulbs described and listed in the following pages should 
be planted in the fall. Indeed, some, such as Spanish, Dutch 
and English Irises, Daffodils, Tulips, and some varieties of Lily 
bulbs can only be planted in the fall. (The Madonna or Can- 
didum Lily should only be planted during August, and not later 
than September; they cannot be planted successfully in the 
Spring.) Some lily varieties, such as the Regales, Auratum, 
and the Japanese Speciosum, may also be planted in early 
spring, but fall planting is better. 
Cherokee, Iowa, 
August 10, 1932. 
Dear Mr. Pudor: 
I am enclosing a kodak 
picture which may please 
you. On March 11, 1932, I 
planted three Pudor’s Re¬ 
gal Lily bulbs. On July 5, 
1932, there were seven 
stalks, one five feet tall 
with 25 buds, 18 in bloom 
at tlTe same time. On all 
seven stalks there were 40 
lilies in bloom and 15 left 
to open—a beautiful pic¬ 
ture. My garden friends 
would not believe me, but 
“seeing is believing.” 
On two other Regals 
purchased elsewhere two 
years ago, and though five 
feet and with a dozen 
blooms each, there was an 
increase of one stalk. 
Two years ago I also 
purchased three Madonna 
Lily bulbs of Pudor’s 
which this year had eight 
stalks, at the same time 
three bulbs from another 
firm who radioed daily 
about their wonderful 
bulbs. These planted at 
the same time, side by 
side had increased one, 
while Pudor’s had almost 
tripled. Hereafter o n 1 j 
Pudor’s lily bulbs for me. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. C. L. H. 
OUR REGAL LILY BULBS. Grown in the garden of one of our customers. 
Photo taken July 5, 1932. Seven stalks, one five feet tall with 25 buds of which 
18 are in bloom at same time. On all seven stalks were 40 lilies in bloom and 15 
still to open. “Heavenly, indeed,” and Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 
like one of these. 
LILIUM REGALE 
Introduced from Western China by Mr. E. H. Wilson. It is hardly necessary 
to sing the praises of Lilium Regale, for is it not generally regarded as the 
finest of all garden Lilies of recent introduction? It is very bold and vigorous. 
Don’t be fooled on the prices of Lily or Iris bulbs—or for that matter, on any 
flower bulbs. It’s the SIZE of the bulb that determines its price. Make sure of 
THE SIZE of the bulbs you buy.
