Lilies for Garden and Greenhouse 
Lilium Longiflorum 
New Strains 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.

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.
