WESTMINSTER, MARYLAND 27 
CENTIFOLIUM, OLYMPIC HYBRIDS—We are espe- 
cially proud to offer this modern strain of trumpet 
Lilies. Field tests have proved them to be the finest 
strain of hardy garden Lilies available. This strain 
is characterized by its extreme vigor and size, form, 
coloring and good placement of the flowers. There is 
a pleasing variation among the blooms, from trum- 
pet shaped to widely open, bowl-shaped ones with 
petals slightly twisted and ruffled. The color range 
of all the parent plants is present, plus new combi- 
nations that include creamy trumpets, soft fuchsia- 
pink and the popular cool icy green. The exteriors 
of the petals are delicately tinted with light greenish 
brown or soft wine tints and sometimes are pure 
glistening white. They bloom in July, later than 
Regel, and their period of flowering extends from 
three weeks to a month. They do equally well in full 
sun or part shade. The dominant colors do not fade 
appreciably in full sun, but the flowers are at their 
best in very light shade. When grown for show pur- 
poses, the plants should be given light shade as soon 
as the buds lengthen and begin to show color. The 
bulbs form strong stem roots in addition to the ex- 
tensive basal root system, which provides good insur- 
ance against drought. Plant the bulbs 5 to 6 inches 
deep in well-drained soil and they can then be left 
undisturbed for several years. $2.50 per 10; $20.00 
per 100. 
CENTIFOLIUM, OLYMPIC HYBRIDS, SPECIAL SE- 
LECT—For the more discriminating gardener we 
offer a limited number of specially selected bulbs of 
the Olympic Hybrids. These plants are tagged in the 
fields during the flowering season and represent the 
choicest in acres of trumpet Lilies. Every plant is of 
exhibition quality and is outstanding in all respects. 
Quantities are extremely limited and all reservations 
must be received as soon as possible. The general 
types available are the large formal waxy white 
trumpets of unusual substance and vigor, with white 
or light pink exteriors, the wide flaring, open bowl- 
shaped type, usually with brownish or light greenish 
exteriors, and the very large-flowered irregular form 
with longer petals, which are often slightly twisted 
or ruffled. 75¢ each; $7.00 per 10. 
CENTIFOLIUM, OLYMPIC HYBRIDS, PINK SELEC- 
TIONS—In habit and culture these are similar to the 
Olympic Hybrids, but the flowers are pink. This color 
extends over the inner as well as the outer surface of 
the petals and is indescribably beautiful. Our ex- 
perience with these Lilies has shown that while they 
are a true fuchsia-pink in cool, moist climates, they 
do not show this color when grown in regions where 
warm nights prevail during the blooming season. 
Apparently the heat bleaches the colors even before 
the buds open. All Lilies of this type are tagged in 
the field by experienced men, harvested by hand at 
shipping time, and come in random sizes only. $2.50 
each. 
FIESTA HYBRIDS—This new race has neatly reflexed 
flowers, nicely spaced on thin, wiry stems. They are 
one of the brightest patches of color in our Lily 
fields during July. Extremely uniform as to flower- 
ing time and habit; pleasing variations in color and 
form of flower enhance their beauty. The colors 
range from bright yellow through orange to a beauti- 
ful dark rich red. Most flowers are of the typical 
recurved turks-cap shape, and many of the plants 
have blooms facing outward or upward, with the 
petals only slightly recurved. Plant the bulbs 5 to 6
