Lilium Regale 
(The Regal Lily) 
One of the most beautiful and also one of the 
easiest of Lilies to grow; it never fails—’Lilium 
Regale’”’ is truly a Royal Lily; worthy of a place 
in every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. 
A vigorous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet 
high, densely covered with fine foliage. Center of 
flower flushed with yellow shading to white at outer 
edges; externally, the flowers are streaked with 
brown on the “‘ribs,’” shaded through the almost 
translucent petals with a delightful pearly tint; the 
contrast between the color of the reverse of the 
petals and the gold shading of the throat is ex- 
traordinarily beautiful. The Regal Lily is very 
floriferous and when thoroughly established, bears 
as high as 18 to 20 flowers.

Regale, Big Boy Each $2.25 
Big Boy is a selected variety reproduced from 
offsets and scales only. As its name implies, 
it is a giant form of Regal Lily, outstanding 
and bold on a stiff stem. Grows as easily as 
the common Regal. 
Regale, Gold Cup Each $3.00 
A beautiful form of Regal Lily, producing 
handsome flaring flowers which are canary- 
yellow at the base with primrose-yellow petals 
showing only a very small margin of white at 
the tips of the petals. This rare form and color 
will be greatly appreciated by the connoisseur. 
Only a limited few bulbs available.

Bellingham Hybrid Lilies 
The first Bellingham Hybrid Lilies were raised and improved by the late Dr. Grif- 
fiths, expert on bulbs at the United States Department of Agriculture Bulb Station 
at Bellingham, Washington. As long ago as 1919 a beginning was made by Dr. 
Griffiths to improve these fine hybrids and since that time they have been steadily 
improved by reselection. 
It is now our pleasure to introduce them and we feel certain that the Belling- 
ham Hybrid Lilies will from now on be a permanent and important feature of 
American gardens. 
They are robust plants, growing about 4 to 5 feet high; stems are stiff and 
require no staking. The foliage is good and flowers grow in pyramidal clusters 
of 20 to 30 blooms. The blooms are Turk’s-cap-shaped, sharply reflexing petals 
in some, others not. The colors range from soft yellow, buff-terra-cotta, through 
shades of copper and orange to red, distinctly spotted with dark red or soft brown 
spots. Some flowers resemble Orchids in their markings. 
As usual, nice things come in small packages; the supply is yet limited; there- 
fore, order promptly. A-No. 1 flowering bulbs are offered as follows:

Dr Abel ‘ Fiesta Hybrids 
This new race of seedlings has neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on thin 
wiry stems. Resulting from crosses between L. Davidi (L. Willmottiae) and re- 
lated types, they are one of the brightest patches of color in our Lily fields during 
July. The colors range from bright yellow through orange to a beautiful dark 
rich red. The latter color is new to this type of Lily. Most of the flowers are of 
the typical recurved Turk’s-cap shape and many of the plants have blossoms 
facing outward or somewhat upward with the petals only slightly recurved. A sun 
loving group, plant them five to six inches deep where they will get plenty of 
direct sunlight. Propagation is most rapid from the numerous underground stem 
bulblets which may be separated from the old stem in the fall and replanted near 
the mother bulb. This group has proven a wonderful addition to the garden Lilies. 
Excellent cut flowers, the stems are easy to handle and arrange, and the colors 
are particularly attractive indoors. Award of Merit, Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, 1946.
