REGAL LILY BULBS 
REGALS are the most popular of all lilies. They are 
quite hardy and do well in most climates. 
QUALITY: It is our endeavor to grow bulbs of ex- 
ceptional quality. When possible, we first enrich the 
soil with cover crops of crimson clover for a few 
seasons before planting. We prefer organic fertilizers 
rather than chemicals. We disbud most of our Regais 
before blooming as this gives extra strength to the 
bulb. Regals make their best bulb growth in the fall 
and we like to leave them in as late as possible be- 
fore digging so as to let the bulbs mature. 
PLANTING: Regals may be planted in the fall or 
spring. We prefer spring. The bulbs may also be held 
in cold storage and planted in June or early July for 
late blooms. Successive plantings will make a succes- 
sion of blooms over a long period. Plant in a Sunny 
location in good garden soil. The small bulbs may be 
sown in quite thickly 1 to 3 inches deep; medium 
bulbs placed 2 to 4 inches apart and covered about 
3 to 5 inches; and large bulbs about 5 or more inches 
apart and covered about 5 to 6 inches. 
BLOOMING: Bulbs size 3 - 4 will often bloom, per- 
haps about half of them, the first season, giving 1 to 
2 blooms to the stem. Size 4 - 5 should all bloom, giv- 
ing 1 to 4 blooms to the bulb. The larger bulbs will 
rnake taller and heavier stems and more florets to the 
stem. 
ELLIS GLADIOLUS ORIGINATIONS re still going 
strong, winning many Champion, Sweepstake and 
Blue Ribbons. We are naming some more fine new 
ones this season. However, for glads, do not write us. 
but send direct to Mr. Sherrill Fleming, Aurora, Ore- 
gon. He grows and sells our Glads. 
CHRISTMAS HOLLY: We have a nice planting of 
this which is coming on better it seems with each 
passing year. But for Holly, please send direct to 
Mr. Romaine B. Ware, Canby, Oregon. He also issues 
a fine catalog in colors, listing many varieties of 
lilies. He sells our Holly.
