NEW LILY HYBRIDS 
LILIUM CANDIDUM “CASCADE STRAIN”. A new strain of beau- 
tiful, improved forms of the ever-popular MADONNA LILY, which 
produces plants of exceptional vigor, with tall straight stems, and 
large flowers of unusual texture and perfect form. All forms are 
greatly resistant to botrytis blight, and possess a vigor far surpass- 
ing the best of the original species. The foundation of these hybrids 
was an extensive collection of all forms of the MADONNA LILY 
available to the trade, including several unusual types obtained 
from a French priest. Culture and time of bloom is the same as the 
Original species. 
Strong Flowering Bulbs—Each-65c, 3-$1.65, 6-$3.00, 12-$6.00. 
Extra Select Bulbs—Each-75c, 3-$1.95, 6-$3.65, 12-$7.30. 
LILIUM CANDIDUM ““WHITE ELF”. A unique hybrid selected from 
among many thousands of new seedlings of the CASCADE STRAIN. 
White Elf is a true dwarf in every respect, as the entire stem of a 
fully grown bulb measures not more than 18 or 24 inches in height. 
Flowers are beautifully proportioned, while the foliage is a deep 
healthy green. Ideal for the rock garden, for borders and for in- 
formal flower arrangements. Each-$3.25, 3-$9.25. 
LILIUM CENTIFOLIUM “OLYMPIC HYBRIDS”. One of the finest 
of the new strains of hardy, trumpet type garden lilies produced in 
recent years. There is a pleasing variation among the individual 
plants of the strain, from the stylized typical trumpet shaped flowers 
to the more unusual forms, such as the widely opened bowl shaped 
flowers with petals artistically twisted and ruffled. A wide range of 
colors has been inherited from the parent plants, in addition to many 
exquisite new combinations, which include creamy trumpets, soft 
fuchsia pink, and the popular cool, icy greens. Exteriors of the petals 
are delicately shaded with light greenish brown or soft wine tints, 
and in some instances are a pure glistening white. All are July 
flowering, blooming later than Lilum regale, and their period of 
bloom extends from three weeks to a month. They do equally well in 
full sun or partial shade, and the dominant colors do not fade ap- 
preciably in the full sun. However, as with other Lilies, the flowers 
are at their best in very light shade, and when grown for show pur- 
poses should be given light shade as soon as the buds lengthen and 
begin to show color. Plant bulbs 5 to 6 inches deep in well drained 
soil where they can be left undisturbed for several years. Every hy- 
brid is a majestic creation of breathtaking beauty, massive size, and 
noble proportions. Strong and vigorous in growth, easy to establish, 
and long lived. 5 to 8 feet in height. Available in a selected mixture 
of all colors and types. 
Strong Flowering Bulbs—Each-45c, 3-$1.20, 6-$2.30, 12-$4.55. 
Extra Select Bulbs—Each-55c, 3-$1.50, 6-$2.90, 12-$5.80. 
LILIUM CENTIFOLIUM “SPECIAL SELECT”. Specially selected 
bulbs of the OLYMPIC HYBRIDS. All plants are individually se- 
lected and tagged in the fields during the flowering season, and 
represent the choicest and finest of the entire crop. Each plant is 
of superb exhibition quality and outstanding in all respects. General 
types included are the large formal waxy white trumpet, with either 
white or light pink exteriors—the wide flaring open bowl shaped 
type, usually with brownish or light greenish exteriors to the petals— 
and the very large irregular forms with longer petals, usually slightly 
twisted or ruffled, giving the flower a most graceful informal shape. 
Supply is very limited. 
Strong Flowering Bulbs (Random Sizes Only) — 
Each-$1.30, 3-$3.60, 6-$6.50. 
Spectal LALY LIST 
We have listed only a few of the gorgeous new Lily Hybrids 
introduced to American gardeners in the past few years. If 
you are interested in a complete list (including many superb 
named varieties selected from among the Olympic Hybrids, 
Fiesta Hybrids and Mid-Century Hybrids), write for a copy of 
Special List #L-300 
which will be ready in late June. 

LILIUM “FIESTA HYBRIDS”. As cheerful and gaily colored as the 
name implies, this new race of seedlings has dainty neatly reflexed 
flowers of typical Turk’s Cap form, nicely spaced on thin wiry stems 
4 to 6 feet in height. Extremely uniform as to flowering time and 
habit, with pleasing variations in color and form of flower which en- 
hance their beauty and usefulness. Colors range from bright yellow, 
through orange and copper, to gold and beautiful rich reds, provid- 
ing a most brilliant display of unusual charm. Many of the plants 
have blossoms facing outward or somewhat upward with petals only 
slightly recurved. A sun-loving group, plant them 5 to 6 inches 
deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Very resistant to 
mosaic. Excellent cut flowers, as stems are easy to handle and ar- 
range, and colors are particularly attractive indoors. Of easy culture, 
and absolutely hardy. Available in mixture only. 
Strong Flowering Bulbs—Each-80c, 3-$2.10, 6-$4.00, 12-$8.00. 
Extra Select Bulbs—Each-$1.00, 3-$2.75, 6-$5.00, 12-$10.00. 
MID-CENTURY HYBRIDS. Another beautiful new series of hybrids 
introduced for the first time last year. They are the result of a rather 
involved hybridization process that has included such popular Lilies 
as LILIUM TIGRINUM on the one side, and hybrids between L. 
DAURICUM, L. CONCOLOR, L. AURANTIACUM, and _ several 
others, on the other side. There are in these hybrids such widely 
divergent types and colors that no parallel can be drawn between 
them and any other group of lilies ever introduced. The colors range 
from palest straw-yellow to deepest maroon-red, and they vary in 
habit from pendant (as in the Tiger Lily), to large outward-facing 
flowers—never seen before—to enormous vividly colored, upright 
Lilies. Bulbs of these hybrids should be planted about 4 to 6 inches 
deep in any good, well-drained, porous garden soil, preferably in 
full sun. Selected mixture of all’types and colors. Supply very 
limited. Each-$2.00, 3-$5.75. 
LILIUM “ENCHANTMENT” (United States Plant Patent #862). 
This is the most prolific, as well as the most beautiful of all hybrid 
Lilies introduced in the past few years. It is an upright Lily of 
excellent habit, with many well formed flowers of a vivid Nasturtium- 
red, and so full of life and depth that the color literally blazes in 
the sun. We believe that ENCHANTMENT is the most promising 
new hardy Lily of the century; a completely new type of Lily that is 
vigorous, hardy, disease resistant, and virtually indestructible, if 
only the very slightest care is given to it. Increases at an amazingly 
rapid rate. 
Extra Select Bulbs—Each-$2.00, 3-$5.70. 
RAINBOW HYBRIDS. The result of hybridizing various upright 
flowering species, these Lilies all have cupped shaped flowers that 
open straight up like Tulips. The colors vary from true golden 
yellow, through all shades of orange to deepest mahogany red; are 
gay and sparkling in quality, do not fade in the sun, and blend well 
in floral arrangements. Since this strain is grown from seed, it is 
entirely free from all bulb-born diseases and pests. Available in a 
selected mixture of all colors and types. Each-65c, 3-$1.75, 
6-$3.00, 12-$5.90.
