Bulbs and Seed for Fall Delivery 
Prices have not been established yet on Croft Lily bulbs for fall 
delivery but we are in a position to meet any legitimate prices. The 
above quotations are on our surplus stock for this spring only but 
we believe the fall prices will be somewhere around these figures. 
These prices are as low as top quality bulbs can be grown. 
In order to spend more time on our hybridizing we are not send- 
ing a salesman on the road so please send your order directly to us.

ering size bulbs next fall: Yellow Callas, Tigridias, Tuberoses (lim- 
ited quantity), Ornithogalum Saundersiae and the following varieties

PLANTING STOCK—We will need to sell thousands of year-old 
bulbs about %-inch diameter in order to help finance our hybridi- 
zation this year. These bulbs are the result of hand pollenizations of 
30,000 flowers during 1947 and seed planted January 1948. These 
will be planting stock to grow on with a few in this young stock to 
bloom in 1949, but this is quicker and surer than growing from seed. 
We will have the following available for fall delivery: 
Henryi Hybrids—crosses with about 20 other varieties, Princeps x 
-Sulphurgale also crossed with some 15 or 20 varieties, Speciosum 
Hybrid seedlings, Wilmottiae Hybrids crossed a great deal with 
Cernuum, Parryi seedlings. 2 years old, Sargentiae, and others if 
‘you are interested. 
LILY SHED—We are in a position to make crosses of lily seed 
to order. Please place your order soon for seed for fall delivery so 
we will know how to make our hybridizing plans. We will have seed 
of the following varieties and crosses between any two varieties you 
wish to order. We guarantee to hand pollenize seed but, of course, we 
cannot guarantee they will break for hybrids in the first generation.
