HIGHEST AWARD 
LILIES 
For Garden and Greenhouse 
In presenting our !941 Fall catalog, we are pleased to offer to lily enthusiasts 
a most complete list of species, varieties and hybrids composed of the majority 
of the worthwhile lilies now in commerce. This has been made possible both by 
the increased production of home grown stock and the continued rise in demand 
for bulbs raised in the Pacific Northwest. However, due to the war conditions 
which have seriously curtailed bulb shipments from Europe, we anticipate a 
shortage of stock will be apparent on a number of items of which there is nor- 
mally ample supply. We respectfully urge therefore that orders be placed as 
early as possible to assure delivery from the present season's crop. This is 
particularly true of the European species, the majority of which have heretofore 
been supplied by growers overseas. As will be noted, a number of additional 
species and varieties of Lilies have been included on our lists for this year, in 
particular among the hybrid group, many of which seem more adaptable to 
general culture than the species from which they were derived. Unless other- 
wise noted, all bulbs offered are home grown stock and the illustrations in this 
catalog are from photographs of specimens selected in our own plantings. We 
wish to particularly draw attention to the list of miscellaneous bulbs offered 
which includes many rare and attractive subjects, the majority of which are 
natives of the Pacific Coast region. This stock will find numerous uses in place 
of Dutch bulbs which are at present virtually unobtainable. Our thanks are 
again extended to our many customers for their continued support and con- 
structive comments and we hope to extend the scope of our acquaintanceship 
with garden lovers during the coming year. Please be assured that all orders 
will have our most careful attention in selection of stock and shipment will be 
made at the proper time by the most approved methods. 
NOTES ON LILY CULTURE 
The following suggestions in regard to lily culture are offered as a guide to 
proper handling and in this limited space we unfortunately cannot give in com- 
plete detail every phase of the subject. For those interested in further informa- 
tion, we will be glad to answer inquiries on specific problems or refer the writer 
to standard works on lilies and their culture which are quite authoritative.
