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 moisture during the growing- 
season. 
Lilies do not like to be disturbed and when possible should be planted 
where they can be left for several years. The bulbs increase by division, 
forming clumps that become more beautiful from year to year. 
CANDIDUM (Madonna or St. Joseph’s Lily). A tall stately lily with pure 
waxy white blossoms. Delicious fragrance. Early June to July flowering.
