We believe that the development of new lilies is now at about the same stage that new daffodils were in 
the 1890-1900 period. A great many new varieties are coming to the foreground and some very interest- 
ing hybrids are continually showing up in our experimental plantings. 
Many hundreds of species and hybrids have been tested and grown experimentally in an attempt to 
find the best to offer to discriminating gardeners. 
While there is some variation in coloring of the flowers as well as the height of plants in soine of the 
hybrids, yet every one of these lilies is a very distinct improvement on any of the older varieties in 
color, height and form, which adds much to the beauty and usefulness of these plants for garden use. 

GROWING LILIES 
Lilies are easy to grow and do well al- 
most anywhere. An ideal soil is one 
which is sufficiently porous to drain 
rapidly, but rich enough in humus to 
retain moisture for the plants during 
the summer. All Lilies are related to 
the wild flowers and do not take kindly 
to heavy fertilizing or cultivation. 
Plant Lilies at least four times the 
diameter of the bulb, below the surface 
of the soil. Most Lilies will grow very 
well if potted. 
LILY, UMBELLATUM HYBRIDS From 
crosses between several outstanding 
strains of Umbellatum, we raised a 
magnificent strain of new Hybrids that 
contain an unusual variety of color and 
forms. We offer this fine assortment 
of disease free bulbs, which we recom- 
mend highly for its clear coloring and 
good form.

in almost any type soil. It is a strong grower, 
producing as many as 20 flowers on a stem when 
fully established. Contrasting colors of sunset-red 
and yellow spotted petals makes it very showy.
