PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
Lilies for Early Spring Planting 
We Can Deliver Them Up to April 1st—Not Later 
LILIUM REGALE or MYRIOPHYLLUM 
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. The 
sturdy stems, three to four feet high, being densely covered with long linear- 
lanceolate leafage, and each bearing two to four flowers. The center of the flower 
is flushed with yellow, shading to white at the outer edges, and externally the 
flowers are streaked with brown, shading to pink at the tips which shows through 
the almost translucent petals with a delightful pearly tint. It is very distinct. 
While we advocate the planting of lily bulbs during the fall months many 
customers like to plant this lily in the early spring, which can be done, and for 
that purpose, we always store a few hundred bulbs for the winter, for spring 
planting, for delivery up till April first. These are the only two sizes we store 
for spring delivery: 
7 to 8-inch circumference, will produce fine flowers. 20c each, postpaid. At the 
rate of 15c each per 25, 50 or 100 by express, charges collect. Not less than 
25 sold at this price. 
9 to 10-inch circumference, 30c each postpaid. At the rate of 25c each per 25, 50 
or 100 by express, charges collect.

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 tile 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 only 
Pudor’s lily bulbs for me. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. C. L. H.

growth the seedling bulbs are from % inch to 1 inch in diameter. Many of the 
largest bloom the second year. Seed: 1-oz. 75c, x /i-oz , 40c, per pkt. 15c.
