CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids, Pink—211—Would you like a big pink trum- 
pet lily as hardy and vigorous as the famous Regal? Maybe you have 
seen Regals that were somewhat pink on the exteriors but this 
Centifolium is pink on the face of the petals, a real pink-toned lily, 
something we have dreamed of but seldom seen. Last year we did 
not have nearly enough of these in spite of the high price that had 
to be asked. Now we have a more ample supply of flowering size 
bulbs (all have bloomed in the nursery). They are strong growing 
with wide open blooms, all grown from seed and selected. They 
flower about three weeks later than the Regals due to the Centi- 
folium blood. Selected flowering bulbs $7.00. 
REGAL, Light Pink-682-These are a selection from thousands of 
seedlings. They are pink-toned, not as pink as the Pink Centi- 
folium Hybrids offered above but still distinctly pink. They bloom 
along with the regular Regals and are of the same rugged disposi- 
tion. Same culture as the Regale. We have but a limited stock of 
these this year so order early. Each, flowering size, $3.00, Three 
for $8.00. 
CENTIFOLIUM hybrids—212-This is the regular strain. Offered on 
the back cover. 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids, Selected Forms—2 1 3-There is a lot of vari- 
ation in the tens of thousands of these hybrids as they grow from 
seed. Some have the clusters of bloom exceptionally well spaced 
and held so that each flower shows to the best advantage. Others 
are simply the most perfectly formed flowers. These Selected forms 
are exactly what the term implies. | personally go through the field 
and tag the outstandingly perfect blooms when they are in flower 
and at digging time these are kept separate to fill your orders. 
There are, of course, but a limited number of these and when they 
are sold, no more are to be had until the next year. While they last, 
each $1.75, Three for $4.75. 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids, Pure White-214-This is a selection from 
the above Selected Forms but instead of the regular color effect, 
they are pure white both inside and out. The very large trumpets 
are beautifully held and all in all they are a grand group of white 
trumpets flowering during the early part of July. These are be- 
coming more plentiful and I’m able to offer them at, each $2.75, 
Three for $7.50. 
Orders for the above two Selected Forms must be in early. 
DUCHESS-—284-Here’s a brand new Lily, hybrid of Amabile, a 
variety of which we have comparatively few hybrids. It has lovely 
semi-recurved blooms of medium size. A fine orange-yellow with 
brown spots. It is a good grower and blooms freely. Try it in your 
border with blue flowers as the background. There are so many 
schemes that can be worked out if you study your garden with the 
thought of color combinations. Late June into July. Ht 2 to 3 ft. 
PD 5 in. Flowering, each $8.00.

Oregon Giant 
We offered this for the first time last season. Without 
doubt it is the finest of all the Speciosums available today. 
The blooms are larger, the color and form exceptionally fine 
and all in all it bids fair to be “‘tops’’ for some time. 
In general effect it is the punctatum type, white with 
pink spots or blotches. You would call it a pink lily with 
white margins and simply fall in love with it. The photograph 
shows its recurved form and the extreme breadth of the 
petals. Vigorous, 2 to 4 feet, free flowering. 
All the stock has been grown in carefully isolated plant- 
ing to insure disease free bulbs and we have not found any 
evidences of disease at any time. Last year we had but a 
few hundred bulbs and they were sold quickly. This year the 
supply is better but not plentiful so order early. 
August flowering, planting depth (PD) 5 inches. Se- 
lected flowering size bulbs, each $1.75, Three for $4.75. 
We have a few large bulbs at, each $2.25.

AURELIAN HYBRIDS 
We offer for the first time a lot of hybrid lilies by Carleton 
Yerex, lily hybridist of Oregon. He terms them ‘Aurelian Hybrids 
and while in some respects similar to the older Aurelianse Hybrids, 
they are a distinct step forward. The original crosses were made by 
Edouard Debras in France more than 20 years ago and from these 
thousands of seedlings have been produced. They vary in form and 
color from white lilies shaped like Henryi to trumpet lilies of deep 
yellow and apricot and all imaginable intermediate shapes and colors. 
Some are shaped almost like Auratums. Throughout the years they 
have been selected and re-selected. This year we are offering three 
groups of these new hybrids which we feel are most worth while. 
PD 6 inches. 
AURELIAN Hybrids, Henryi Form—150-Both the plant and the 
flowers are large and come in delightful pastel tones. Some have 
up to 20 blooms on eight-foot stalks. They can only be offered as: 
mixed hybrids though each one is selected for perfection of form 
and type. They are truly lovely. Each $3.00, Three for $8.00. 
AURELIAN Hybrids, Semi-trumpets—|51—Some of the most beauti- 
ful and striking forms of these hybrids are in this group. The Henryi 
blood shows in the shortened trumpets and the recurved petals. 
They vary from pure white through the pastel shades but all show 
the influence of the Henryi blood. Each $3.00, Three for $8.00. 
AURELIAN Hybrids, Ivory, Buff and Sulphur Trumpets—|52—These 
are true trumpet lilies showing the Sargentiae blood but the lovely 
buff, ivory and yellow color comes from th2 Henryi infusion. Some 
of the experts who have seen them consider them superior to the 
Burmese lily Suiphureum. They are tall, vigorous and very large. 
A delightful picture is produced by planting them with the charm- 
ing blue flowered Aconitum napellus Sparks’ variety. There are 
countless lovely combinations that may be worked out in your bor- 
ders, effects that will give your garden a degree of charm truly 
expressing your individuality. Only a limited number of these 
Aurelian Hybrids can be sold this year. Each $3.00, Three for $8.00. 
LONGIFLORUM GARDEN PRIDE-441-Here’s a brand new lily 
somewhat like Estate but with larger blooms and more of them 
giving a longer blooming season. Two to five feet tall, very sturdy 
and vigorous, especially good for greenhouse forcing. PD 6 inches. 
Large bulbs, each $1.55.
