We are doing a great deal 
of hybridization, especially 
on the lovelier colored 
lilies such as Speciosum 
and its forms, Auratum, 
Rubellum, Japonicum, Sul- 
phureum, Chalcedonicum, 
Parryi, and the Martagons, 
also with Longiflorums, 
Dauricums, Cernum, and 
Tenuifolium.

OUR 1945 CROFT EASTER LILY PLANTING 
No garden is complete without lilies with their beauty and fragrance. Many 
people are a little afraid to try lilies as they think they are hard to grow, but 
we offer you some of the hardier varieties that are well worth your trial.

We have hand pollinated 
somewhere over 10,000 
flowers this past season 
and have in process of ger- 
mination nearly 5 pounds 
of seed. We should have 
some interesting hybrids to 
flower this coming season 
from previous work.
