sheer grace, beauty and excellent keeping qualities the new 
Lilies are without peer as cut flowers—and one bloom, well- 
chosen to accent the gown, will remain fresh an entire 
evening. 
These new Lilies satisfy a need during the months which 
seem a little less richly dressed after spring’s lavish display. 
Their color charms the day, their fragrance the night, and 
both gardener and garden are enriched by their presence. 
“Why Liltes 
Lilies accomplish for the summer garden what Primroses 
do for the spring. Not ordinary Lilies and Primroses but 
hybrid strains, new varieties, selected species that are reliably 
hardy, vigorous and robust, heavier textured, more varied 
and beautiful in form and color than older types. Both flowers 
are being developed with parallel aims, the Lilies by Jan de 
Graaff at his Oregon Bulb Farms, the Primroses at Barn- 
haven. 
The Oregon Bulb Farm is the largest of its kind in the 
world and internationally famous. It is located but a few 
miles east of Barnhaven and its acres of new and exciting 
Lilies stimulated an interest of long standing. Here the Lilies 
are hybridized, grown and wholesaled. From the fields of the 
originator to your garden in the least possible time after 
digging and curing guarantees fresh, plump bulbs, disease 
free and at the peak of vitality. We pack and ship in our 
usual careful manner delivering the bulbs to you at the proper 
time. Therein lies the germ of your success with Lilies. 
For a number of years we have noted an affinity between 
Lilies and Primroses, gardeners who like the one are attract- 
ed by the other. Perhaps it is because Lilies and Primroses 
require quite similar situations and care; perhaps it goes 
beyond into the realm of good taste and appreciation of true 
refinement. In any event, Primroses and Lilies have been 
widely cultivated together in private gardens for centuries, 
their early development has been by the same men, and the 
same plant hunters discovered and introduced from Asia 
species of both genera simultaneously.
