STAR OF OREGON-785-A hybrid of Hum- 
boldtii x pardalinum. It produces 14 to 20 
Martagon type blooms on vigorous stems six 
to seven feet tall. Color is cadmium orange, 
spotted black in the throat with spots enlarg- 
ing with red zones outward. Strikingly bril- 
liant Lily. July flowering. PD 6 inches. 
SKYROCKET-770-This is the first offering 
of this new hybrid and we anticipate it will 
find great favor when better known. The me- 
dium size blooms are pendulous and a glow- 
ing vermilion-red, dotted with black, a stun- 
ning Lily and worthy of a prominent location 
in your garden. Try it against a white flower- 
ing shrub and use plenty of blue flowering 
plants in the foreground. Ht 4 to 6 ft. PD 5 in. 
SZOVITSIANUM-810-A rare Caucasian lily 
closely related to Monadelphum but bloom- 
ing somewhat earlier. In fact, one of the 
earliest cf all, and valuable for this reason. 
Blooms are pale straw-yellow, freely spotted 
purplish black. A very beautiful and desira- 
ble lily. Ht 3 to 5 ft. PD 4 in. Generally re- 
quires a year to establish. Partial shade, ample 
humus. 
Spring Planting 
We can not consistently recommend spring 
planting of Lilies. There are a few such 
as Regal, Centifolium Hybrids, Henryi and 
others that do not seem to resent it but 
the great majority should be planted as 
soon as possible after their digging at ma- 
turity in the fall. 
However, sometimes it is impossible for 
various reasons to plant in the fall and 
for these customers we will pack their 
orders ail ready to ship and hold them 
in cold storage until spring. These orders, 
however, must be received in th2 fall or 
the bulbs will not be available as we do 
not carry over but a very few varieties. 
There is no charge for co!d storage but 
PLEASE send orders EARLY.
