To Our Griends and Customers: 
Yes, we have again a fine selection of modern lilies for you despite what you may 
have heard of our last winter. 
The winter 1948-49 was the most severe in the history of the Northwest. Our soil 
froze to a depth of 14 inches. Not expecting such weather no mulch whatsoever had 
been used on any of our plantings. While such semi-hardy bulbs as Watsonias, Ixias, 
Ornithogalum, etc., suffered heavily (Watsonias 95% winter killed) all the lilies 
mentioned in our list came through the winter in excellent shape if planted in the 
ground. Some lilies that were kept in boxes and exposed to severe freezing were 
damaged or lost. 
We have been growing lilies for over 10 years and still believe they are the most 
fascinating flowers to grow. The number of new Hybrids of great merit is astonishing 
and many a thrill is in store for the lover of beautiful lilies to see these in bloom for 
the first time. 
It is our sincere endeavor to get lilies to our customers in first class condition; that’s 
why as a rule we dig our lilies the day they are shipped. When you receive our lilies you 
will see the difference for yourself. We ship beginning October first and appreciate 
early ordering. 
Sincerely, 
Lilydale Bulb and Flower Gardens

lished specimens will bear 15-35 immense trumpets 
almost twice as large as Regal. Color is white to 
velvety cream, open flared trumpet with tips of petals 
rolling back. Pleasantly fragrant.

L. THEODORE D. HAVEMEYER 
This much sought after lily is very scarce in the 
U. S. However, our stock has increased now to a point 
where we can offer it at only $3.50 for the medium 
size bulb. 
Our stock 1s the true Havemeyer. It is a vigorous 
grower. To the astonishment of visitors to our gar- 
dens last year, bulbs that were not disturbed for a few 
years grew toa height of 11 feet with 45-60 flowers to 
a stalk. The blooming period lasts over four weeks. 
In fact, the flowerheads are so heavy that staking is 
advisable. The flowers are large, 6-8” across, of semi- 
trumpet or bowl shape and of a warm, soft buff or 
creamy old ivory color with deep green at throat. Re- 
ceived Award of Merit from Royal Horticultural So- 
ciety of England. Unsurpassable for cutting. August 
flowering; 6-7” deep. Light shade. 
Medium bulbs, $3.50 each. Large bulbs, $5.00 each.
