LILIES 
P OOR Little Holland! Peaceful, te^l*^ 
ing strictly to her own business, si , 
endeavors to remain on friendly terms 
with the powerful neighbors which surround m i . 
instead of making guns she grows vast quantities/of 
superlatively fine Lilies to sell to these neighbors 
But her neighbors, anticipating war and thoroughly 
frightened, will buy nothing that cannot be used for 
kdling. Europe trembles in fear as the armed legions 
of Hitler and Mussolini, grim and threatening, are 
mobilised. Terror stricken France, England, and the 
lesser nations strive desperately for more cannon, more 
gas and more war planes, while the dead lie thick on 
the fields of Spain. So Holland is stuck with the finest 
crop of Lilies the world has ever seen. 
It may seem brutal that we, safe in 
America, should take advantage of 
this situation to buy these bulbs at 
less than half the cost of producing 
them. Yet the Holland grower must 
live and “half a loaf is better than no 
bread.” So we have arranged to im- 
port for our customers on special 
order these fine Lilies at war panic 
prices. 
The bulbs will be ordered espe¬ 
cially for you by cable as required. 
The first cable will be sent about 
April 1st, the second April 15th, and 
the third April 25th, and it will take about 15 days for 
the bulbs to reach the United States. The grade, de¬ 
scribed by measuring the circumference of the bulbs, 
is shown for each variety. 
Lilium Elegans, Mi.xed. 4 to 5 in. The number of 
flower forms and colors found in this group defy 
description. Gorgeous red and orange shades, rich 
purples and crimsons, delicate pale lemon-yellows, 
stunning orange-browns, all are here and more. And 
the blooming season commences in late 
June and continues through July when 
your other garden flowers are beginning 
to thin out. If Europe had time to think 
of anything besides slaughter, Lilium Ele¬ 
gans bulbs would cost you $2.75 a dozen. 
War panic price, $1.80 a dos.; 3 for 55c. 
Lilium Henryi (Yellow Speciosum). 7-9 in. 
Gorgeous, rich apricot flowers, 20 or 
more in a bunch carried on stalks 8 feet 
tall. Flowers in August and September. 
Since, if war comes, the flowers will not 
be provided for Europe’s dead, Lilium 
Henryi instead of costing $4.00 a dozen, 
can be bought for the war panic price 
of $2.75 a dozen; 3 for 85c.

Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
AH plants sold under the standard non-warranty of the nursery 
trade as used by every reputable nursery in the world. AH bulbs 
sold under Elliott’s special money-back guarantee. 
Lilium Elegans 
ilium Philippinense Formosanum. 6-8 in. 
This lovely new gem produces around 
five very long trumpet-shaped flowers, 
white with a reddish brown shading 
on the exterior, carried gracefully on each of the 
lYl' to 3-ft. stems. The flowers are very fragrant, 
and the petals gracefully recurving. Besides being 
one of the loveliest, it is among the hardiest of Lilies. 
Blooms from late August until frost. Flowers will 
not be planted in the pill boxes of the Maginot line, 
nor in the bomb-proof shelters of London. There¬ 
fore, Lilium Philippinense does not cost $2.75 a 
dozen. The war panic price is $1.40 a doz.; 3 for 50c. 
Lilium Regale. 8-10 in. The flower is flushed yellow, 
shading to white. Externally the flowers are reddish 
brown with a delightful pearly tint. Truly a royal 
Lily and most extraordinarily beautiful. Blooms in 
July. The European expects his garden may be 
blown to eternity before the plants have a chance 
to bloom and, therefore, you, safe in America, in¬ 
stead of paying $4.00 a dozen for your bulbs of 
Regal Lilies may plant them at the war panic price 
of $1.45 a doz.; 3 for 50c. 
Lilium Speciosum Album. 8-9 in. Cost alone has here¬ 
tofore prevented this stately, pure and serene beauty 
from growing in every garden. No flower known 
to horticulture has a better form, or grows in a more 
graceful manner. The color is glistening snow-white, 
and through the center of each petal runs a golden 
erreen stripe. In sharp contrast stand out the anthers, 
colored copper. Finally, it blooms in September, 
the month during which the garden is barest. 
'When one’s garden is drenched with poison gas 
one may not remove one’s mask to inhale the 
fragrance of the flowers. Your garden will not 
be drenched with poison gas as your European 
friend’s may he, and so you may safely plant 
Lilium Album not at the regular price of $3.75 
a dozen, but at the war panic price of $2.75 a 
dozen; 3 for 85c. 
Lilium Speciosum Rubrum Magnificum. 8-9 in. 
Magnificum is the pink twin of the incomparable 
white Speciosum Album and the perfect foil of 
its white color. Like Speciosum Album, it pro¬ 
duces 10 to 12 flowers in a cluster on the top of a 
4-ft. stem. Like Album, Speciosum Magnificum 
blooms in September. It is equally as hardy and 
as easily grown. The only difference is that the 
flowers are colored the loveliest imaginable ruby- 
carmine with a white margin. Caterpillar tanks 
rumbling across one’s garden will destroy the 
garden and perhaps the owner, too. Knowing 
this, our European neighbors will not plant. It 
cannot happen here and you may plant in 
safety and save money doing it since you do 
not pay the regular price of $2.75 a dozen but 
the war panic price of $1.95 a dozen; 3 for 70c. 
Lilium Tenuifolium. 4-5 in. Graceful flowers 
with sharply recurved, waxy petals colored an 
intense, brilliant, gleaming scarlet, which will 
make an accent that none can miss. It grows 
18 inches high and flowers in June. Unlike 
most Lilies, Tenuifolium will stand consider¬ 
able shade. Unhappy Europe, where each in¬ 
dividual must sacrifice butter for guns! In 
America we may have both if we wish but only a few of 
us will wish guns. Instead you may want to plant Lilium 
Tenuifolium which does not cost $1.50 a dozen as it should. 
The war panic price is 90c a dozen; 3 for 35c. 
Lilium Tigrinum Splendens. 5-6 in. Your grandmother, who 
appreciated the finer things of life and had all she could 
oet of them, planted Tiger Lilies almost automatically as 
a matter of course. Her descendents, it would seem, have 
forgotten this most beautiful and gorgeous flower and it is 
high time that they relearned about it. For the Tiger Lily 
is one of the richest, most colorful, and satisfactory plants 
in existence. The flowers, 
perfect in shape, are colored 
dark, rich salmon-orange, 
spotted intense glossy black. 
And the Tiger Lily, flowering , 
in August and September, is ' - 
robust, of easy culture, and 
hardy enough for Northern j 
Minnesota. And if you plant ; 
a Tiger Lily no war plane will ' , 
plant a bomb on top of it. 
Your garden will remain as 
peaceful as your grandmoth¬ 
er’s was and be less costly 
since Tiger Lilies no longer cost $2.75 a 
dozen. The war panic price is 85c a dozen; 
3 for 35 c. 
Lilium Speciosum Rubrum Magnificum Lilium Speciosum Album 
All Lilies will be delivered free at the prices quoted.

Oriental Poppy 
ORIENTAL POPPIES 
(/T REMEMBER well the first time I saw an Oriental Poppy. I was a boy then, and it excited 
J|_ me wonderfully, and I thought it was the most remarkable flower in the world. And now, 
after 50 years have gone by, and I have seen all the known flowers of the world, I am still 
of the opinion it is wonderful; one of the most striking and effective perennials in cultivation.” 
Our founder, Mr, J Wilkinson Elliott, wrote this 50 years ago and it is still true. One who has 
not seen the blazing beauty of the Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden. 
Cerise Beauty. Very large, bright pink flowers 
with purple blotch. 3 for 80c; $2.50 per doz. 
Henri Cayeux. A new Poppy bearing mam¬ 
moth flowers colored a lovely old rose with 
burgundy overtones. 3 for $1.40; $4.00 per 
doz. 
Lula A. Neeley. This is the newest of the Ori¬ 
ental Poppies and is so superior to anything 
which has preceded it that it becomes by 
comparison the outstanding garden plant. 
The color is a brilliant oxblood-red and does 
not fade. The tremendous, gorgeous flowers 
are borne on strong erect stems. 3 for 
$1.30; $3.75 per doz.’ 
Olympia. In Olympia we have at last a true 
double Poppy. The color is a brilliant, vivid 
flame-scarlet overlaid with golden salmon. 
The double flowers are the earliest to bloom 
and are produced in tremendous quantities. 
3 for 70c; $2.00 per doz. 
Orientale. Tremendous cup-shaped blooms of 
the brightest, most vffid crimson-scarlet.

tinct Poppy variety and one of the 
world’s outstanding flowers. Tremen¬ 
dous blooms of the purest satiny white 
with a crimson blotch at the base. 
Grown adjacent to the colored sorts, 
the effect is really breath-taking. 3 for 
$1.40; $4.00 per doz. 
SPECIAL 
BARGAIN OFFER 
Until recently the Poppy list was considered 
.standard with little or no chance of improve¬ 
ment. However, within the pa.st year or so the 
plant breeders have made some startling im¬ 
provements, These new things will not be 
ready for the general public for some time, but 
meanwhile we intend to get ready for their 
arrival. So in order to make room for them we 
are cutting the price of Poppies in half. 
Six varieties until last year considered the 
best of their several colors are scheduled for 
replacement in the future. The varieties are: 
Bracteata, crimson-scarlet; Brightness, orange- 
scarlet; Edna Perry, rose-pink; Grand Mogul, 
red: Princess Ena, orange-salmon; Royal Scarlet, 
blazing scarlet. Price, while they last: 3 for 50c; 
$1.50 per doz.; $11.00 per 100.
