BELLINGHAM HYBRID LILIES 
LILIUM x CENTIFOLIUM 
“Olympic Hybrids” 
This superb strain of hardy lilies was selected from 
hundreds of crosses between the best existing types of 
trumpet lilies. Of exceptional vigor and hardiness, 
they are noteworthy for the greatly improved flower 
placement and the size, form and color variations of 
the flowers. The immense trumpets vary from the 
widely flaring bowl-shaped form to the traditional 
symmetrical trumpet lily. The petals shade from 
greenish brown to wine color with green, white, yel- 
low or pink throats. The stiff straight 4 to 6 feet 
stems require no staking. Plant 6 to 7 inches deep 
in full sun or very light shade in well-drained soil.

The BEAUTIFUL BELLINGHAM 
HYBRID LILIES 
Our collection of Bellingham Hybrids is the result 
ot constant selection from hundreds of crosses of only 
the most vigorous plants. The color range extends 
from clear yellow and buff to copper and red. The 
flowers are spotted brown, reddish-brown or maroon. 
The stems are 4 to 6 feet tall and bear 20 to 30 grace- 
fully placed flowers. They are excellent cut flowers, 
unusually long lasting. Cut them when the lower 
flowers are fully open, leaving enough foliage to allow 
the bulb to continue its growth. Plant 4 to 5 inches 
deep in light, well-drained soil where there is some 
light shade during the hottest part of summer. Late 
June to early July flowering. i

newer and better varieties, and from these many 
thousands, an occasional NEW variety may result, 
superior in shape, color, height, form or substance. 
Our 1947 introduction is the FIESTA HYBRIDS. 
Its colors are vivid and gay, and the plants are the 
healthiest, most vigorous specimens on our farms. The 
3 to 4 foot stems are straight, strong and wiry—each 
bearing several nicely placed flowers. The individual 
flowers are slightly reflexed in the manner of the 
Turk’s cap type. Many of the color shades such as 
the rich maroons and the bright tomato-reds are new 
to the lily group. All colors are non-fading and blend 
together beautifully. Plant them in colonies against 
a green background in full sun or light shade. Place 
bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep in well drained soil at least 
12 inches apart; they multiply rapidly. July flowering.
