HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
Oregon-grown lily bulbs have become known 
as the best obtainable. Not only are they healthier 
than the imported stock but they can be supplied 
in a fresh condition with live roots all ready to 
start growing. Also they are available in the best 
planting time in the fall. 
The varieties listed below are all easily grown 
if the few precautions are observed. They all 
need good drainage. With a few exceptions they 
should have a ground cover and plenty of mois¬ 
ture during the growing season. Varieties not 
otherwise specified are available until December 
20th, unless previously sold out.
