ventifolium Hybrid ilies 
Centifolium “Olympic Hybrids Special Select” 
For the more discriminating gardener we are now able to offer a 
limited number of specially selected bulbs of the Olympic Hybrids. 
These plants are tagged in the fields during the flowering season and 
represent the choicest and finest as selected from acres of trumpet 
Lilies. Every plant is of exhibition quality and is of outstanding char- 
acter in all respects. Any one of these tagged plants might well be 
propagated as a clone since each one represents the pick of several 
thousand flowering seedlings. Quantities are extremely limited and all 
reservations must be received early. The general types available are 
the large formal waxy white trumpets characteristic of the trumpet 
family of unusual substance and vigor, and exhibiting ideal placement, 
with either white or light pink exteriors—the wide flaring open bowl 
shaped type, usually with brownish or light greenish exteriors to the 
petals and the very large flowered irregular form which has recently 
shown up in our seedling plots possessing longer petals which are 
often slightly twisted or ruffled, giving the flower a most graceful, 
informal shape. 
Each $1.25, Three $3.45, Doz. $12.75, 25 $24.50 
Centifolium “Pink Selections” 


\ 
\, Special Select 
iid Contifolium 
This is the first offering of a strain which has had our closest atten- 
tion for several years. Although in habit and in culture the plants 
are similar to tne Olympic Hybrids, the flowers are shaded pink. This 
color extends over the inner surface as well as the outer surface of 
the petals and is indescribably beautiful. This offering is bound to 
become one of the most popular of garden Lilies as soon as sufficient 
stocks are available. Specially hand selected. 
Each $3.50, Three $10.00, Doz. $35.00

Lilium Cestaceum 
Also known as “’Excelsum’’ and as the ‘’Nan- 
keen Lily.” One of the choicest garden Lilies. 
The warm apricot tone, almost a cafe au lait, 
set off by brilliant orange anthers, puts it ina 
color class by itself; in fact, many people con- 
sider it the most graceful and lovely of all 
Lilies. It is beautiful for every kind of garden 
use but because of its tender coloring, must be 
planted in a mixed border with brighter flow- 
ers. In combination with light shaded Del- 
phiniums or with the Madonna Lily, which it 
resembles, it is most effective. It has the 
texture of Lilium Candidum, with reflexed pet- 
als, and does well under the same conditions 
as Candidum. Four to five feet high. June- 
July flowering.
