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 interesting 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 
some 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 use- 
fulness of these plants for garden use.
