These Lilies are grown by Jan de Graaff at the Oregon Bulb Farms 
in large part because of a consuming interest in their beauty, re- 
sponse to hybridization, ease of culture and to provide gardens with 
sound, vigorous bulbs which give glorious bloom the season follow- 
ing planting and for years to come with the minimum of care. 
Our interest was reawakened in Lilies after seeing these new 
strains and revitalized species growing so vigorously under no 
specially prepared situation or soil, and realizing again how Lilies 
and Primroses are companion plants with overlapping blooming sea- 
sons and never a dull month. 
To encourage your interest—which will be in direct proportion 
to the extent of your acquaintance with the various types and forms 
—collection prices are given. A 10% discount may be taken when 
ordering not less than 6 bulbs, all different. 
Considering possible collections is always a temptation and a few 
Suggestions follow: 
. Succession of bloom from late spring to fall. 
. Tall Lilies for summer color in the shrubbery or 
among evergreens. . 
. Lilies for the cutting garden and perennial borders. 
. Lilies for naturalizing in woodsy situations. 
. A collection of trumpet types. 
. A collection of recurved types. 
. A collection of native Lilies. 
. A collection of Asiatic Lilies native to the same 
general localities as Asiatic Primulas. 
. Combinations of any or all of the above.

Future Introductions 
By special arrangement with Mr. de Graaff, Barnhaven will be 
able to offer limited quantities of new Lily varieties before they are 
offered the general trade. This includes hybrid seed, bulbs of un- 
named seedlings and special collections not generally available. The 
proximity of the two establishments makes it possible for us to note 
new hybrids and novelties of special merit and observe’ their perfor-- 
mance during the development period preceding introduction.
