Nineteen Thirty-four bids fair to be a big 
year in gardens. Seed prices have not ad¬ 
vanced except in a few cases of extreme 
shortage and many new Novelties have been 
made available to garden enthusiasts. 
Look this catalog over carefully, it lists only 
the best varieties of vegetables and only such 
flowers as can be successfully grown by any 
one, even though they have limited garden¬ 
ing experience.

You will be glad to know that 46 Flower Seeds that formerly 
sold at 10c per packet are now only 5c and that a number 
formerly selling at 25c are now 15c. Our large family garden 
size packets of Peas, Beans and Corn which sold for years 
at 20c each are now 15c. Many bulk seeds are down, too. 
And we are glad to tell you that these reductions are NOT 
the result of cheapened quality but the result of lower pro- 
duction costs. Almost half a century of experience in pro¬ 
ducing seeds for Western conditions is behind Lilly’s Best 
for the West Seeds. We assure you they are finest quality. 
ALL AMERICAN VEGETABLES and FLOWERS 
> 
In order to give meritorious Novelties the credit to which they are entitled the American Seed Trade Asso¬ 
ciation has undertaken to select each year the ten best New Flowers and the ten best New Vegetables. 
The first three in each case to be awarded a gold medal and the following seven each to get an Award of 
Merit. Late in the fall of 1932 the first winners were announced; most of them are listed in this book. Last 
fall the 1933 winners were made public and all of them are listed on the Novelty pages of this catalog. 
The Committee making these selections consists of ten of America's foremost seedsmen, located in differ¬ 
ent parts of the United States, each of whom maintains a trial garden where all the Novelties offered 
are tried out and scored according to an agreed standard. The highest average scores in all the gardens 
win the awards. To qualify the entry must be a distinct improvement; for example, a new color, form 
or type, possessing desirable characteristics. It must be easy to grow and do well in all parts of the United 
States. Any seed grower can compete and you can depend on the Committee's choice as being reliable. Try 
a number of these “All American” Novelties this year.
