HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
| am fortunate in being able to offer this fall, several varie- 
ties of Hardy Lilies from the famous Oregon Bulb Farms of 
Jan de Graaff. The varieties offered are the result of many 
years of scientific breeding by Mr. de Graaff to produce 
strains that will grow and thrive for the average American 
gardener. Bulbs will be fresh and newly dug. Sizes will 
be the proper ones for the variety to give best garden results 
next summer. They have the vigor to start immediate 
growth in your garden. 
L. candidum “‘Cascade Strain” The Madonna Lily 
Careful selection and pollination has finally produced a 
race of the Madonna Lily with tall straight stems and large 
flowers of unusual texture and perfect form. Nothing is 
more beautiful than the white purity of these new Madonna 
Lilies. L. candidum is one of the few bulbs which requires 
very shallow planting. The top of the bulb should not be 
over an inch below the surface of the ground. Since the 
bulbs make a fall growth and are dormant for only a few 
weeks, early planting is necessary, preferably by October 
Ist. They increase rapidly by natural division and will 
soon form a large clump. 
Bulbs wrapped separately in vegetable parchment. Each 60c 
L. regale ‘’de Graaff Strain’ The Regal Lily 
A vigorous grower with sturdy stems 4 to 6 feet high. The 
center of the flower is flushed with yellow, shading to white 
at the outer edges; externally, the flowers are streaked with 
brown on the ‘ribs.’ The Regal Lily is very floriferous and 
when established, bears as high as 18 to 20 flowers per 
stem. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep. 
Packed three bulbs to a tube with planting instructions 
enclosed. No less than three bulbs sold. Per three $1.00 
L. pardalinum giganteum Sunset Lily 
This vigorous lily is dependable, very hardy and multiplies 
rapidly. It does well in full sun or shade. Each 4 to 6 foot 
stem is topped with a dozen or more beautiful flowers in 
early July. The petals are recurving and a brilliant sunset 
red. The base of the bloom is yellow, beautifully marked 
with brown dots. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep in a location 
where it can grow undisturbed and it will soon form a 
large clump. 
Packed three bulbs to a tube with planting instructions 
enclosed. No less than three bulbs sold. Per three $1.25 
THOMAS 
Britton, Oklahoma 
L. “Bellingham Hybrids” 
This group has proven the most desirable of all lilies for 
cut flowers or informal planting. The flower heads bearing 
up to 20 flowers, may be cut as the first buds open and 
will remain fresh until the entire spike is in bloom. The 
color range is complete from clear yellow through the 
yellow-oranges to the bright orange-reds with scarlet tipped 
petals. Height, 4 to 6 feet. Does well in almost any situa- 
tion, but prefers light shade. Plant 4 to 5 inches deep and 
it will rapidly form a large clump. 
Packed three bulbs to a box, separately wrapped with 
planting instructions. No less than three bulbs sold. 
Per three $1.75 
L. centifolium ‘““Olympic Hybrids” 
This has proven to be the finest strain of hardy garden 
lilies available. Their breeding history includes such varie- 
ties and species as L. centifolium, L. leucanthum, C. G. 
Creelman, Sargentiae, Brownii and regale. Careful selec- 
tion of the finest and choicest plants from these crosses 
has resulted in the present Olympic strain which is charac- 
terized by its extreme vigor, size, form, coloring and good 
placement of flowers. The color range includes creamy 
yellow trumpets, soft fushia pink and the popular cool icy 
green. The exteriors of the petals are delicately shaded 
with light-greenish, greenish-brown or soft wine tints and 
in some instances, are a pure glistening white. July flower- 
ing, they bloom later than the Regal Lily and their period 
of flowering extends from three weeks to a month. They 
do equally well in full sun or partial shade. Plant the bulbs 
5 to 6 inches deep and they can be left undisturbed for 
several years. 
Packed three bulbs to a box, separately wrapped with 
planting instructions. No less than three bulbs sold. 
Per three $1.75 
Madonna Lilies will be shipped about September 15th. 
The other varieties do not complete their growth until the 
last of September and will be shipped about October 10th. 
Please order as early as possible as only a limited supply 
of the bulbs will be available this fall.
