LILIES FOR GARDEN AND GREENHOUSE 
L. Longiflorum Creole. This variety of L. Longiflorum is extensively grown in 
Louisiana for garden and cut flower use but the strain we offer has been 
propagated in Oregon for some years and should prove quite hardy except 
in the extreme northern states where it would be best handled under glass. 
The large white trumpets are carried on 2 to 3 foot stems, and are of good 
substance. Highly recommended for Easter forcing. Plant 8 inches deep in a 
sunny well drained location and protect the early top growth from late 
frosts. Strong bulbs, 50c each, $5.00 dozen. 
L. Longiflorum, "The Estate Lily". We have here what we believe to be the finest 
strain of L. Longiflorum ever introduced. Originally propagated in the 
Southern Oregon coastal region, this lily far outstrips all other varieties in 
size and substance of flower, stature and ease of culture. Grown in a care¬ 
fully segregated situation, stock of "The Estate Lily" can be offered as def¬ 
initely virus free. First introduction of this lily was made by us during the 
past season to a limited number of private greenhouses and first public 
exhibition was at the Golden Gate International Exhibition at San Francisco 
in April 1939 of plants grown in our greenhouses. Under glass we find "The 
Estate Lily” sends up strong 5-foot stems which carry from 3 to 8 immense 
white trumpet lilies, fully 50% larger than the best imported varieties of 
L. Longiflorum. The flowers are very long lasting, much more so than any 
variety of this lily we have ever grown. For those with greenhouse facilities 
we can think of nothing finer to grow for early spring flowering than "The 
Estate Lily". As it is being propagated outdoors in Oregon it should also 
prove to be a fine garden lily except where extreme frost is encountered.
