Croft Easter Lilies 
CROFT EASTER LILIES. The Croft is America’s 
finest forcing or pot Easter Lily but it also makes 
a wonderful garden plant, proving hardy in most 
parts of the United States. It is probably advisable 
to mulch them in winter. The dark green foliage 
makes an ideal setting for the huge fragrant white 
bells. It grows 14% to 2 feet tall and makes a fine 
plant in the foreground of a mass Lily planting. 
Lovely planted in front of blue Delphinium. All 
of the following sizes will flower in the garden 
but from 7 inch up is the best for forcing or pot cul- 
ture. Sizes are in circumference. July*, PD** 6 in.

CROFT SPECIAL BULBLETS. There are planting 
stock for growing on. About 25% or more should 
carry 1 bloom each the following summer after 
planting. It takes two years to form a commercial 
size bulb or a good sized flowering bulb. They 
will average about 75 per lb. $5.00 lb. 
Can supply in 100 or 1,000 lots in commercial size 
bulbs. Please write for prices. 
CROFT SPECIAL (Clone propagation). Growth of 
Croft Special is similar to Croft but has slightly 
shorter leaves and darker green color. It also has 
an average of two more flowers to a 7-inch bulb 
though they are slightly smaller. It requires either 
a higher forcing temperature or a longer time in 
forcing. It is fine in the garden. A 6-inch bulb 
can be ferced in Croft Special. July, PD 6”.

KENYON DAVIDSON. It is probably what is left 
of a group of 30 or 40 seedlings after Croft, Croft 
Special and others were taken out. They flower 
over a longer period and most of them carry more 
flowers than Croft with a very similar growth. 
These also make fine garden Lilies and they are 
very valuable for summer cut flowers. Early July,

WHITE QUEEN. Grown from seed. They will vary 
in height from 24 to 36 inches tall. The magnifi- 
cent white, fragrant trumpets are more numerous 
than on the Croft. 25c each, largest size 40c each 
SULPHUREUM (Burma). One of the most beautiful 
trumpet Lilies in existence. It has large sulphur 
yellow trumpets and blooms late in the season 
when we need a trumpet Lily in the garden. It is 
delightfully fragrant. Well grown specimens reach 
6 to 10 feet, bearing up to 10 large flowers per 
stem. Our variety is pure sulphur yellow both in- 
side and outside the flower, contrary to most de- 
scriptions of this Lily. It is truly beautiful. In 
severe climates Sulphureum should be protected 
with a heavy mulch. September, PD 10”. 
Flowering size $2.50 each 

PLEASE READ 
All the Easter Lilies we know of contain 
mottle or mosaic, one of the viruses, also 
better than 35% of the Holland Rubrums 
we received are the same. Testaceum, old 
type Candidums, many of Ddauricums, 
broken Tulips, Sulphureum, Speciosum Al- 
tum also contain mottle or mosaic. These 
varieties do not seem to be seriously af- 
fected by this disease but it is very disas- 
trous to Lilium Formosanum Cernum, Aura- 
tum, Japonicum and other Lilies to a lesser 
degree. Keep these groups separated for 
best results.
