V aughan’s American Grown Lily Bulbs 
Vaughan’s Original Shangri-La 
Our bulbs are grown in Mexico by the best growers and under our 
direction and inspection as to their quality and dependability. We 
can supply the following facts about our strain: 
Shangri-La lilies are of the Floridii Creole type, of the highest 
quality. 
They come to you with live roots packed in peat moss, like Croft 
lilies from the Pacific coast. 
Accurately checked scientific tests have shown that they produce 
twice the bud count of ordinary rootless Creole bulbs of comparable 
size, because they start growing without check, or taking time to 
produce new roots. 
Cases are standard Japanese size and every one is tightly filled. 
All Shangri-La Bulbs are exceptionally high crowned. 
Culture—start at 60° and try and hold at this temperature. On warm days 
be sure to give them air.

VAUGHAN’S CROFT LILIES 
Croft Lilies 
Crop is short of bulbs 7 in. and up. 6in. Per 100, $60.00. 
The entire American production, as yet, equals only a fraction of 
the number required to replace the Japanese bulbs which are shut out 
by war, and which may never again be acceptable to the American 
public, even when peace returns. 
There is a bright side to this picture, however, and it shows two 
highlights: One, the high quality of American lilies, which have been 
proved to be much superior to those imported formerly from Japan; 
the other, the rapid increase in American production which is taking 
place. 
The crop this year was greater than last; and each year in the 
future, we have reason to expect, production will pyramid, so that 
it will not be long before the florists of our country have an ample 
supply of better bulbs than were enjoyed before the war. 
Vaughan's Seed Store has been in the forefront of American lily 
production for many years, and has contributed to the improvement 
of growing and handling methods, to which this new industry owes its 
success. We shall expand our own growing operations as rapidly as 
possible, and give every encouragement to other careful growers, who 
prove themselves capable of producing the quality of stock which we 
must have for our customers. 
The quality of Vaughan’s American Grown lilies was proved by 
the blue ribbons which were awarded two baskets of Vaughan’s Croft 
lilies exhibited at the Chicago Flower Show in the spring of 1941, one 
of which is illustrated herewith. 
Culture—start at 50° until 4 inches high, then grow above 60°. 
This is an ideal Giganteum type pot Lily of exceptional size, blooms of excel- 
lent substance, a prolific grower which averaged 5-6 flowers from 7-9 inch bulbs 
last year at our greenhouses. It grows best at warmer temperatures, just like the 
Japanese Southern Giganteums of about the same season, possibly a week earlier, 
True Lilium Harrisii 
Grown for Us by One of the Most Reliable Growers 
Grown in Bermuda and used mostly for early cut flowers. The 
flower is pure white but somewhat soft for shipping. It is an early 
blooming type, and the bulbs can not be cold storaged for late 
delivery, F. O. B. Chicago
