LILIES 
Lilies are considered by many to be the most beautiful and ornamental of cultivated plants. Their stately habit and 
variously colored flowers, often very fragrant, make them almost indispensable for the hardv flower garden, as well as 
for growing in the greenhouse. Many of the native species may be effectively naturalized and practically all are valuable 
for use in the mixed perennial border. Most of them will grow very well in pots, and by using several varieties, a suc- 
cession of bloom may be had over a long period. 
It should be remembered that Lilies are primarily wild plants and they do not lend themselves to formal bedding 
schemes. They are at their best in the open garden when grown with a protective ground cover planting or when located 
in shade for at least a portion of the day. They will do well in mixed perennial plantings, but be sure that the bulbs are 
not crowded by the roots of other plants.

EASTER LILIES 
We plan on handling the new American grown ‘‘Croft”’ 
strain of Easter Lilies. They force just as readily and in 
exactly the same way as the well-known ‘“Giganteums.”’ 
The flowers, however, are much larger, and a bulb of any 
given size will produce more blooms than will a similar 
bulb of the older strains. The Croft Lilies are the finest 
Easter Lilies yet produced, regardless of origin. 
We will gladly quote prices after the crop has been 
harvested. 
ELEGANS VARIETIES MIXED
