HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
We take great pride in offering to our customers this year some new Lily 
Hybrids from Jan de Graaff’s Oregon Bulb Farms, one of America’s foremost 
hybridizers. We made a personal visit to the fields during the blooming season 
again last year. These Lilies have been bred not only for color but for disease 
resistance and hardiness. The new pink, sulphur, red, orange and yellow 
shades are truly beautiful.

Large white bowl-shaped flowers are carried on stems 4 to 6 feet 
tall. Each of the six petals of the flower has a gold stripe down 
the center and is also heavily spotted with crimson. Has a won- 
derful fragrance. Blooms in August. These are hybrids from 
especially vigorous stock and free from virus diseases. American 
grown. Top size bulbs: Each $2.40

AURELIAN HYBRIDS 
These grand Lilies are the result of many years of patient hybridi- 
zation, selection and propagation by a Northwest Lily hybridist. 
Many thousands of crosses have been made resulting in a dis- 
tinctly different and beautiful strain of trumpet and semi-trumpet 
Lilies in white, ivory, cream and sulphur tones. 
“SUNBURST”’ 
This group most closely resembles L. Henryi in shape. Un- 
usual texture makes them suitable for garden or cut flower 
work. In random size only. Each $3.00

and bowl-shaped. Large bulbs: Each $3.00

native lilies. All of them are handsome, brilliantly colored flowers 
in shades of yellow and orange. Each 75c, doz. $7.50

One of the oldest lilies in cultivation and one of the most popu- 
lar. Because these lilies form a rosette of leaves in early fall 
they MUST be planted in late August or early September. Beau- 
tiful blossoms of pure white; blossoms upturned and many on a 
stem. Very fragrant. Blooming time late June. Order early.

L. CANDIDUM (Cascade Strain) 
This is a new strain of Madonna lily developed over a period of 
years from the best in foreign and American strains. It is un- 
usual in that it sets seeds freely and is greatly resistant to Botrytis. 
The bulbs should be planted not later than the 15th of September 
as their dormant period is very short.

CENTIFOLIUM ‘‘OLYMPIC HYBRIDS” 
This modern strain of Trumpet Lilies has been proven in field 
tests to be the finest strain of hardy garden lilies available. Over 
a period of years crossings have been made with regale, centi- 
folium, Brownii and other trumpet lilies, the best of these seed- 
lings being selected to produce this Olympic strain. There is a 
pleasing variation among the individual plants, some having long 
trumpets, others being more wide-open with petals slightly ruffled 
and twisted. The color range of the parent plants is found in this 
strain plus lovely shades of creamy yellow, soft fuchsia pink and 
cool icy green. The plants do best in partial shade. If the flowers 
are to be used for show purposes they should be given shade as 
soon as the buds show color. 
Large exhibition size bulbs: Each 50c, doz. $5.00 
Good planting size bulbs: Each 30c; doz. $3.00

flowering. Each $2.50, doz. $25.00
