Lilies for 
New Strains 

SLOCUM’S “ACE” (Page 3) 
LONGIFLORUM “Snow Drift’’—450-An excellent new strain from 
Australia which has proven most floriferous with individual blooms 
measuring to 7 inches. In form, this Lily somewhat suggests that 
of Auratum. The delightful fragrance has been described as touch- 
ing that of Magnolias. The wide rounded petals are pure white and of 
good substance. Mid-summer blooming. Ht 4 to 6 ft. PD 6 in. 
Choice fiowering bulbs, each 75c. A few selected bulbs, each $1.00. 
LONGIFLORUM Creole “’White Lady’’—455-Easily the finest of the 
famous Creole strain. Originally selected by U. S. D. A. and re- 
selected in our Oregon fields. Not a huge flower like Croft or Estate 
but a more dainty, refined bloom, still having real quality and charm. 
Primarily a forcing Lily for the greenhouse. Not recommended for 
outside except in mild sections. Ht 3 to 4 ft. Choice flowering 
bulbs, each 75c.

Lilies in the Greenhouse 
When the bulbs arrive, they should be potted at once in six or eight inch 
pots with good drainage, using a compost of two parts good fiberous loam, 
two parts pulverized peat or leaf mold and one part sharp sand. 
After potting place in a cold frame, cool greenhouse or other shelter where 
night temperature will be around 40 to 45 degrees and allow to remain 
there six to eight weeks, or until top growth appears. Keep moderately 
moist but do not overwater. If soil was reasonably moist at potting time, 
very little additional watering will be needed. After top growth starts, move 
to greenhouse where night temperatures of 60 degrees can be maintained. 
Ventilate whenever possible, water in the mornings so foliage will be dry at 
night. 
Flowering time depends upon many circumstances. Buds should show 
about six weeks before opening. Careful regulation of temperatures 
can hurry or retard. 55 to 60 degrees with light shading is recommended 
for bud development. Give liquid fertilizer sparingly as buds begin to show.

Lilium Lougiflerum 
Developed and Grown in Oregon 
In the world of Easter Lilies, Oregon has made a tremendous contribution during recent years 
“Croft,” ‘‘Estate’’ and now the new ‘’Ace”’ Lilies have pushed quality up to an all time high. 
These wonderful new strains, developed and grown right here in Oregon are far superior to the 
older imported stocks both for the garden and greenhouse. Probably the best news of the mo- 
ment regarding them is that after extensive and repeated careful tests we can offer most of 
them as hardy outside even in New England. They give us huge pure white trumpet Lilies for 
mid-summer gardens, a long wanted group. For the greenhouse, these new varieties are ab- 
solutely supreme. Try them and I’m sure you will be pleased. We have an exceptionally fine 
stock of these bulbs which can be shipped starting in October. 
The Estate Lily 
LONGIFLORUM “The Estate Lily’’W-440-Without question the 
finest of this species ever introduced. Under glass ‘‘Estate’’ pro- 
duces stems up to five feet tall with six to nine huge white 
trumpets at least double the size of the old imported Easter 
Lilies. For size of bloom, substance of flower, stature, ease of 
culture, hardiness and long lasting, ‘’Estate’’ far surpasses all 
other varieties. As an early spring Lily in the greenhouse, none 
other is its equal. In the garden, with nominal protection, it is 
hardy even through New England winters. Altogether, a truly 
wonderful Lily. Ht 4 to 6 ft. PD 6 inches. Extra selected Jumbos, 
each $2.00. Large bulbs, each $1.55. Choice flowering bulbs, 
Caches e255 
LONGIFLORUM “'Croft’’-430-This famous forcing Lily originally 
propagated only in southern Oregon is quite similar to the ‘’The 
Estate Lily’’ except being dwarf, 22 to 3 ft. For pot culture it is 
ideal. Reasonably hardy outside. PD 6 in. July-August. Selected 
large bulbs, each $2.50. Choice flowering bulbs, each $1.75.
