GARDEN LILIES 
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 of the lily bulbs offered below will bloom the first year they are planted. Some 
disbudding should be done however so that the bulb may become better established. 
It is advisable to dig and divide the bulbs every four or five years. Plant the Madon- 
nas only 2 to 3 inches below the soil surface; the others not more than 6 inches. 
The New Esperanza Goldband Lily. 
CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS 
(“Glorified Regal Lily’’) 
Shipped in April and early May or late October. 
Another new hybrid lily developed by the plant 
breeders and grown from seed to insure greater 
vigor. Immense trumpets white on the inside, 
the outside varying from emerald green through 
tints of pink to brownish purple. Very fragrant; 
very hardy; grow 6 to 8 feet high; bloom in July 
and August. A little later than the old Regals. 
Abundant foliage, hence the name Centi-folium. 
Each 60c; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00.

first to have them in your garden.

NEW ESPERANZA 
GOLDBAND LILY 
Be Among The First To Plant This 
New Disease Resistant Strain of 
Goldband Lily 
Shipped in April and early May only. 
L. auratum Esperanza. Some years ago well 
grown Goldband Lilies were exhibited with 
great pride by the gardeners fortunate enough 
to grow them. Because the imported bulb was 
so subject to disease North American plant 
breeders began to work toward a disease re- 
sistant stock. Most outstanding result of their 
efforts is the Esperanza strain which is grown 
from seed. 
In general the large blooms are ivory-white 
with a broad gold band down the center of each 
reflexed petal. Over this is a flecking of dots 
which vary in color as do the projecting anthers. 
But because the bulbs are grown from seed 
there are variations in the form and coloring of 
the flowers, all of them unusual and breath tak- 
ing in their loveliness. There is variation too in 
the time of bloom from late July to September. 
The introducer recommends planting them only 3 to 4 
inches deep. 
Each $1.50; 3 for $4.20; Doz. $15.50. 
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 be- 
come 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 60c; 3 for $1.65; Doz. $6.00. 
The new Estate Easter Lily is really hardy.

CASCADE 
MADONNA LILY 
Shipped in early fall only. 
L. Candidum, Cascade Strain. Known to many 
as St. Josephs or Resurrection Lily. Hybridizers 
in many parts of the world have been working 
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 flowering date more 
uniform. Best of all the Cascade strain is re- 
sistant to botrytis blight which has always 
plagued this variety. Blooms in June with 
Delphiniums and is very fragrant. This is one 
of the new lilies about which you have been 
reading in the garden magazines. We urge you 
to plant a few of them next fall. 
Each 75c; 3 for $2.10; Doz.$7.50.

creasing in size and beauty through the years.
