Wholesale Price List 1950 Crop 

The presentation of our 1950 wholesale price list marks our 20th year in the 
field of commercial Lily culture and we are pleased to be able to offer to the Trade 
a most complete selection of species and hybrids, all bulbs grown in the Pacific North- 
west and available for delivery during the coming fall season. In addition to the 
varieties listed we grow moderate quantities of a number of other Lilies and welcome 
inquiries concerning any which are commercially available at the present time. 
During the 1949 season we introduced several new hybrid lilies to the Trade, 
namely Galahad, Red Bird and Viking from the original stocks produced by Dr. E. F. 
Palmer, Vineland, Ontario, Canada, and the strain of Aurelian Hybrids, Special Selec- 
tions and Aurelian Hybrid ”' Mei Ling”. The Trade response to these offerings was most 
encouraging and they will all be found included in our current descriptive list. 
For the present year we are introducing three new hybrid strains, one new hybrid 
clone and a new form of an older species—all of which we believe are most valuable 
additions to the stocks of American grown lilies. Listed in alphabetical order their 
descriptions follow: 
L. Chehalem Hybrids—Large, shapely trumpet lilies of heavy texture and fine 
quality, having a trace of L. Henryi in their ancestry. In color they vary from waxy 
white to cream with throats of yellow, apricot or pale green. Height 5 to 6 feet. 
Flowering through July. 
L. Grenadier Hybrids—-A group of select seedlings from the same original cross 
as L. Grenadier (Maximowiczii Wadai x Dauricum Wilsonii) which received the first 
class certificate of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society when first exhibited in 1946. 
We find but little variation in this group from the original selection, mainly in height 
from 3 to 5 feet. The large broad petaled flowers are held horizontally, open flat with 
slightly recurved petal tips and are Chinese coral in color with oval dots of garnet 
brown. Extremely hardy and of easiest culture. July flowering. 
L. Sargentiae x Centifolium Hybrids—A very robust group of new hybrids, par- 
entage as indicated, flowering in August with large white trumpets of great substance. 
The external coloring varies considerably, the majority being greenish brown to reddish 
brown with yellow throats. These plants carry stem bulbils same as Sargentiae but are 
larger flowered and taller—5 to 7 feet. 
L. Speciosum Album (New Form)—A very superior new white speciosum, with 
larger flowers of great keeping quality. The light greenish midrib and golden anthers 
serve to accentuate the clear white flower. Tall, robust plant with broader foliage than 
other forms and the flowers do not recurve as much. Height 5 feet. August flowering. 
L. Valiant—Our newest introduction from Dr. E. F. Palmer’s hybrid stocks, this 
plant is a sister seedling of L. Red Bird (LCroceum x Elegans Mahogany] x Tigrinum). 
The large flowers, however, are held somewhat more upright than in Red Bird and 
are deep cardinal red, heavily dotted black. Established bulbs carry stems up to 5 feet 
with a raceme of 12 to 16 flowers which open quite flat and recurve at the tips. Bears 
bulbils somewhat less freely than L. Tigrinum. July flowering. 
In addition to the above described new lilies we are again able to offer stock of 
the true L. T. A. Havemeyer, undoubtedly one of the most outstanding hybrids intro- 
duced in the past 15 years. This lily represents the first successful crossing of a trumpet 
and recurved lily (L. Sulphureum x L. Henryi) and the ensuing years have not 
diminished its beauty.
