Bring Garden Success 
Princeps Hybrid Lilies 
These are hybrids of L. Sargentiae and L. Regale. They are a very 
vigorous, handsome and large flowered group flowering later the 
Regale, from early July into August. Their long buds resemble those 
of Sargentiae but the more open blooms are white stained with 
rose. Being even better plants than either of the parents, they fill 
a very real need for a mid-summer Lily to follow the Regale. It is 
by carefully selecting the varieties for your plantings with an eye to 
their flowering seasons and picture value in the border that you can 
plant garden pictures of rare beauty. These hybrids and many others 
offer the material and with painstaking study and observation you 
can achieve very marvelous results. 
PRINCEPS, G. C. CREELMAN (True) —630-This is considered one 
of the finest of the Regal x Sargentiae hybrids now in commerce. 
producing truly extraordinary heads of trumpet type bloom late in 
July. The long tubular blossoms are white with lemon yellow center 
and brownish-lavender exterior. Extremely valuable in the mid- 
summer border. It was considered by the late E. H. Wilson superior 
to either of its parents. Full sun or partial shade. Ht 6 to 8 feet. PD 
6 in. We have but a limited supply of this Lily. Flowering bulbs, 
each $4.25. 
Princeprs Creelmau Hybrid S eedlings 
PRINCEPS Creelman Hybrid Seedlings—634-This group of seed- 
lings has won well deserved popularity. All are handsome 
trumpet Lilies similar to the true Creelman but they vary in 
blooming time from early July to mid-August, extremely val- 
uable for this reason. Of these also we never have enough to 
meet the dernand. Culture as above. Flowering bulbs, each 85c, 
Three $2.35. A few extra select jumbo bulbs, each $1.40. 





PRINCEPS Creelman x Centifolium Hybrids—650-A grand strain of 
hybrids produced by Miss Beatrice Palmer of Cobble Hill, B. C., 
Canada. They are similar to their parents in appearance and ex- 
tremely vigorous producing immense heads of white bloom in late 
July. Culture same as Creelman. Choice bulbs, each $3.75. 
PRINCEPS Shelburne Hybrids—656-A tall slender Lily of the Regal- 
Sargentiae type, flowering after the Regals are through. These hy- 
brids are valuable to plant along with Regals that the display may 
extend several weeks longer. Scarce. Culture same as Creelman. 
Ht 5 to 6 feet. Flowering bulbs, each 95c.

Questions You Have Asked--- 
| HOW LATE CAN | PLANT? 
Lilies may be planted any time the ground is not frozen up till 
mid-April, BUT for the best results they should be in the ground 
as soon as possible after they are dug in the fall. We dig and 
ship as soon as bulbs mature, from mid-August until early De- 
cember. Some varieties, as noted in th2 descriptions, are not 
available after September while others can be had up to the early 
part of the New Year. However, many kinds are sold out early so 
the sooner you order th2 more likely you are to get those desired. 
HOW CLOSE TOGETHER TO PLANT? 
As a general rule ten to twelve inches apart is best. Small! kinds 
like Tenuifolium, Cernum and others suggested for the rock 
garden do well six to eight inches apart. Vigorous kinds like 
Regale, Henryi, Princeps and others will be best fifteen inches 
apart as they tend to form clumps and crowding spoils the ef- 
fect. 
WHICH VARIETIES ARE HARDY? 
Unless otherwise noted, all varieties are hardy throughout even 
the northern states provided they are protected from alternate 
freezing and thawing. If they freeze up solid the day after plant- 
ing, they will be all right but give them a reasonably heavy mulch- 
ing to prevent heaving and to protzct from carly injury by spring 
frosts. Follow planting depths and soil recommendations care- 
fully and make sure of the drainage. If the fall weather is very 
dry, water thoroughly before the final freeze up. Lilies like many 
other plants resent going into winter in bone dry soil. 

RUSSETT-720--Another of Mr. Skinners’ Philadelphicum-Dauricum 
hybrids. They produce large clusters of showy, cup-shaped upright 
lilies of great vigor. Being comparatively dwarf, 1 V2 to 2% feet, 
they are good in the foreground of the border. A clump makes a 
gorgeous show. Color is a deep burnt-orange or russet. Due to their 
early flowering, June, they are desirable with late blooming Iris. 
These hybrids are easy to grow and thrive in average gardens. PD 4 
inches. Full sun. Choice flowering bulbs, each $1.15, Three $3.20. 
SKINNERS ORANGE-772-A new hybrid of our native Philadelphi- 
cum and very much worth while. The bright orar.,ge blooms are 
spotted with brown and held erect on stems | 2 to 2 feet tall. An 
excellent border lily, probably best in partial shade. June. PD 4 in. 
Flowering bulbs, each $1.15. 
CREELMAN HYBRIDS 
DeGraaff Strain 
CREELMAN Hybrids—-638-A new selected 
strain of this wonderful Lily produced right 
here in Oregon, almost in the shadow of Mt. 
Hood. They have a degree of vigor seldom 
found among Lilies and when more generally 
available will be greatly in demand. This is 
our first offering of these new hybrids. They 
produce white or nearly white, trumpet type 
Lilies with yellow tinted throats and many 
have greenish exteriors. These hybrids vary 
considerable and | personaliy select the indi- 
vidual plants while in bloom from a field of 
thousands, marking them for segregation at 
digging time. We will select but a few hun- 
dred of these this year, so suggest you order 
early. Early July into August. Ht 412 to 612 
ft. PD 6 in. Selected bulbs, each $2.75.
