____ #arcs HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
Please note the shipping dates for each 
of the varieties listed. 
If orders are received too late for 
spring shipment, they will be held until 
late fall. 
Planting directions are included with 
each order. 
Because they are adaptable to so many loca- 
tions, lilies are becoming increasingly popular in 
small as well as large gardens. 
Now that the hybridizers have turned their 
attention to lilies, things are happening which 
never before seemed possible. If you have had 
disappointing results with lilies in the past, we 
urge you to try some of the new ones. They 
have been bred not only for beauty, but for 
hardiness and resistance to disease. 
All the varieties we list are easily grown; all, 
except Madonnas, are stem-rooting, producing 
roots on an underground stem, so should be 
planted 6 in. or more below the surface of the 
soil. Madonnas should be planted with only an 
inch or two of soil over the top of the bulb.

Henryi Lily blooms in August. 
HENRYI LILY 
Shipped in April and early May only. 
L. henryi. Flowers of this popular lily are a 
rich orange with reflexed petals spotted with 
brown and the stamens long and showy. One 
of the most vigorous and easily grown. The 
bulbs become well established in several 
years after which they may reach a height of 
6 to 8 feet and produce up to 20 blooms. 
Flowers in August. 
Each 50c; 3 for $1.35; Doz. $5.00. 
CASCADE 
MADONNA LILY 
Shipped in early September only. 
L. Candidum, Cascade Strain. Hybridizers 
in many parts of the world have been work- 
ing on this oldest of all cultivated lilies. The 
result is a Madonna Lily with larger flowers 
of better form and texture than existing 
strains. The stems are taller and the flower- 
ing date more uniform. Best of all the Cas- 
cade. strain is resistant to botrytis blight 
which has always plagued this variety. 
This is the lily about which you may have 
read in the garden magazines last fall. We 
urge you to plant a few of them next August. 
Each 75c; 3 for $2.10; Doz. $7.50,
