HARDY LILIES 
NOTICE: All lilies listed here will be delivered in mid or late fall. If 
your garden is in an area where the ground freezes early, it would be advis- 
able to prepare the bed for the lilies and then cover it over so that the surface 
of the ground can be kept from freezing. The bulbs should be planted as soon 
as they arrive. Lilium candidum is the only exception to this rule. The bulbs 
of this lovely lily are shipped in August and should be planted immediately 
upon receiving as they make a fall growth which is important to the next year’s 
flowering. 
BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS. By far the most desirable of all lilies for cut 
flower purposes and informal or woodland planting. The pyramidal 
flower head bears up to 20 ideally spaced flowers on tall, slender, straight 
stem. The flowers are particularly long-lasting. The spike may be cut 
when the first bud opens and will remain fresh until the last bloom ap- 
pears. The colors range from clear yellow through the yellow-oranges 
to the bright orange-reds with scarlet tipped petals. Most of the flowers 
are interestingly spotted with brown or reddish-brown. Plant 5” deep 
in an ordinary cool light soil. Bulbs 4-5” in circum. 
Each, $.45; 10, $4.00 
CANDIDUM, “Cascade Hybrids.” A wonderful new strain of Madonna 
Lilies which has been developed over a period of several years. This 
strain sets seed freely and possesses a vigor far superior to the best of 
the imported stocks. Large flowers of unusual texture and perfect form 
are borne on tall, straight stems. This strain represents the first real 
improvement in our time in Lilium candidum, the oldest lily in cultiva- 
tion. Requires very shallow planting. The top of the bulb should not be 
over an inch below the surface of the ground. Prospers in a fairly heavy 
soil which is well drained. The bulbs are dormant in August and then 
make a fall growth so the bulbs should be planted by September 15 at 
the latest. Bulbs 6-7” in circum. Each, $.50; 10, $4.50
