FINEST and NEWEST HARDY 
Aurelian Hybrids. The most important of all the new races of Lily hybrids, 
this group Is now the subject of large-scale hybridizing. The culture is the 
same as for L. Henryi—full sun or light shade. Plant the bulbs 6 inches 
deep in a rich soil that is well drained and slightly on the heavy side. 
Height 3 to 5 feet. We offer a limited quantity of: 
Sunburst. Much larger and less reflexed flowers than those of L. Henrvi; 
the colors include white, cream-yellow and orange. The blooms are of 
unusual texture and substance and are suitable for garden or cutting. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $7.00; 12 for $26.00. 
Heart’s Desire. Almost intermediate in shape 
between the trumpet form and L. Henrvi. 
Flowers are essentially shallow, widely flared 
and bowl-shaped, in shades of white, cream and 
yellow-orange. Many have a bright orange 
throat, shading to cream-yellow at tips of petals. 
$2.50 each; 3 for $7.00; 12 for $26.00. 
Bellingham Hybrids. By far the most desirable 
of all Lilies for cut-flower purposes and 
informal or woodland planting. 
Ideally spaced on 3 to 5- 
foot, slender, straight stems, 
the flowers are very long 
lasting. The pyramidal 
flower heads bearing up to 
20 blooms may be cut as 
the first buds open and will 
remain fresh until the en- 
tire spike is in bloom. The 
buds are long and narrow 
and reveal the attractive 
spotting of the petals long 
before opening. The color 
range is complete, from 
clear yellow through the 
yellow-oranges to the bright 
orange-reds with scarlet- 
tipped petals. Most of the 
flowers are intensely spotted 
with brown or reddish 
brown. Plant 5 inches deep 
in Ordinary soil. A winter 
mulch is recommended in colder sections. 
65c each; 3 for $1.75; 12 for $6.50. 
Candidum, Cascade Strain. A new Madonna 
Lily, disease free and producing excellent spikes 
3 to 4 feet in height, with many blooms to a 
stem. They make a wonderful show in the gar- 
den and are fine as cut flowers. Plant only an 
inch deep in rather heavy but well-drained 
soil, in August, September and October. 75c 
each; 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7.00. 
Candidum, White Elf. A new dwarf Madonna 
Lily selected from the Cascade Strain. The 
stem measures not more than 24 inches. The 
flowers are beautifully proportioned. Ideal for 
the rock garden, for borders and informal flower 
arrangements. $3.25 each; 3 for $8.75.

THIS FALL 
Centifolium, Olympic Hybrids. We are especially proud to offer this 
modern strain of trumpet Lilies. Field tests have proved them to be the 
finest strain of hardy garden Lilies available. This strain is characterized 
by its extreme vigor and size, form, coloring and good placement of the 
flowers. There is a pleasing variation among the blooms, from trumpet 
shaped to widely open, bowl-shaped ones with petals slightly twisted and 
ruffled. The color range of all the parent plants is present, plus new com- 
binations that include creamy trumpets, soft fuchsia-pink and the popular 
cool icy green. The exteriors of the petals are delicately tinted with light 
greenish brown or soft wine tints and sometimes are 
pure glistening white. They bloom in July, later than 
L. regale, and their period of flowering extends from 
three weeks to a month. They do equally well in 
full sun or part shade. The dominant colors do not 
fade appreciably in full sun, but the flowers are at 
their best in very light shade. When grown for show 
purposes, the plants should be given light shade as 
soon as the buds lengthen and begin to show color. 
The bulbs form strong stem roots mn addition to the 
: extensive basal root system, 
which provides good in- 
surance against drought. 
= Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 
_.-* inches deep in well-drained 
soil and they can then be 
left undisturbed for several 
years. 60c each; 3 for $1.50; 
12 for $5.00. 
Centifolium, Olympic Hy- 
brids, Special Select. For 
the more discriminating 
gardener we offer a limited 
number of specially selected 
bulbs of the Olympic Hy- 
brids. These plants are 
tagged in the fields during 
the flowering season and 
represent the choicest in 
acres of trumpet Lilies. 
Every plant is of exhibition quality and is out- 
standing in allrespects. Quantities are extremely 
limited and all reservations must be received 
as soon as possible. The general types available 
are the large formal waxy white trumpets of 
unusual substance and vigor, with white or 
light pink exteriors, the wide flaring, open 
bowl-shaped type, usually with brownish or 
light greenish exteriors, and the very large- 
flowered irregular form with longer petals, 
which are often slightly twisted or ruffled. 
$1.10 each; 3 for $3.00; 12 for $11.00. 
Centifolium, Olympic Hybrids, Pink Selec- 
tions. In habit and culture these are similar 
to the Olympic Hybrids, but the flowers are 
pink. This color extends over the inner as well 
as the outer surface of the petals and is in- 
describably beautiful. Our experience with 
these Lilies has shown that while they are a 
true fuchsia-pink in cool, moist climates, they 
do not show this color when grown in regions 
where warm nights prevail during the blooming 
season. Apparently the heat bleaches the colors 
even before the buds open. AIl Lilies of this 
type are tagged in the field by experienced men, 
harvested by hand at shtpping time, and come 
in random sizes only. $3.50 each; 3 for $10.00. 

reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on thin, wiry 
stems. They are one of the brightest patches of 
color in our Lily frelds during July. Extremely 
uniform as to flowering time and habit; pleasing variations in color and form of flower 
enhance their beauty. The colors range from bright yellow through orange to a beautiful 
dark rich red. Most flowers are of the typical recurved turks-cap shape, and many of 
the plants have blooms facing outward or upward, with the petals only slightly recurved. 
Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Resis- 
tant to mosaic, this group has proved a wonderful addition to garden Lilies. The stems 
are easy to handle and the colors especially attractive indoors. Award of Merit, Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural Society, 1946. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.25; 12 for $12.00. 
Golden Chalice Hybrids. The range of colors varies from clear lemon-yellow through 
the rich warm shades of gold and apricot-orange. These hybrids are exceptionally 
vigorous. Plant the bulbs at least 6 inches deep in a warm, sunny location where they 
will get full sun. Extremely drought resistant, these hybrids are ideally suited for that 
warm, dry corner of the border where they will flower freely with a minimum of care. 
June flowering; height 2% to 4 feet. $1.25 each; 3 for $3.25; 12 for $12.00. 
Green Mountain Hybrids. An impressive group of trumpet Lilies with unusually large 
flowers, combined with a green throat and brown exterior of the petals. Quite distinct 
in shape and color from our Olympic Hybrids, and particularly valuable for exhibition 
and specimen planting, as well as cutting. They require the same culture as the Olympic 
Hybrids and are at their best when planted in very light shade, where their unusual 
coloring can be seen. $1.10 each; 3 for $3.00; 12 for $11.00. 
Mid-Century Hybrid, Serenade. Good, clean orange coloring. It stands only a little 
over 2 feet tall, which makes it tdeal for the herbaceous border and for pots. The fine 
proportions, the sturdy stems and healthy, glossy foliage make this an unusually fine 
CENTIFOLIUM, OLYMPIC HYBRIDS, Pink garden Lily, impervious to diseases and pests. Plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep in 
Selection. See this page. good, well-drained, porous garden soil, preferably in full sun. $2.50 each; 3 for $7.00.
