To Our Friends and Customers: 
At last the GIANT LILY is coming to the fore. Ever since, in Novem- 
ber 1947, the Home Gardener’s Magazine Flowergrower published our story 
on growing the Giant Lily, we have been so flooded with inquiries that it 
became necessary for us to give the general information about the lily in 
print. To grow the Giant Lily has at last been made possible for every lily- 
loving garden enthusiast. We grow this lily in large quantities to enable us 
to offer it at prices within the reach of every garden friend. 
We have been growing lilies for about ten years. Last fall we sent our 
lilies to practically every state in the Union, and we received such enthusias- 
tic comments on the quality of our bulbs and our method of packing that 
we have decided to grow our lilies on an increased scale. We are continually 
hybridizing and we should have a number of very promising crosses available 
before long. 
We want to emphasize strongly that lilies should only be transplanted in 
the Fall, for better performance. As a rule, we dig our lilies the day they 
are shipped, and you will see the difference when you receive our bulbs. Of 
course, on arrival lilies should be planted immediately without permitting 
the roots to dry. 
The lilies we offer are of excellent quality and should give you complete 
satisfaction. A number of the varieties listed are limited, and therefore we 
do suggest early ordering. 
Sincerely, 
Lilydale Bulb and Flower Gardens
