OREGON BULB FARMS 
GRESHAM, OREGON 
MID-CENTURY HYBRIDS — Upright 
Six of the 1950 introductions are upright lilies. These are true Tigrinum-Umbellatum hybrids. All of them will 
show bulbils in the axils of the leaves, if the flower or the buds are removed early in the season. “Enchantment” will 
have bulbils, even if allowed to flower normally. All of them flower with us around the first of July. Their blazing 
colors and their straight stiff stems made them stand out in our nurseries. Their radical departure in form, habit and 
coloring from anything that has been seen in lilies up to the time these novelties flowered was noticed by every visitor. 
**Bolero”—Unusual shade of cinnamon-brown and 
mahogany. Tall, late-flowering upright with fine place- 
ment of the individual flowers. The petals are nicely 
dotted with small, maroon spots. Beautiful garden lily, 
it is the largest flowered lily among our upright intro- 
ductions. each, $1.50 
**Bonanza”’—TIs later than the others and of a clean 
orange-yellow coloring. The flowers are smooth and 
have a wonderful texture. The spotting is very slight 
and attractive. “Bonanza” was three feet high in our 
nursery planting in the full sun and in hard ground. It 
should be taller than that in the garden. _ each, $0.65 
‘“*Campfire’”’—Was the best of the upright red-colored 
lilies in our planting. The color can best be described as 
a rich, deep, fiery Indian red. It has a few spots on each 
petal, but since they are maroon-red, they are hardly no- 
ticeable. The petals are pointed and rather narrow, giv- 
ing distinction to the plant which, in a nursery, is three 
feet high and probably much taller in the garden. 
each, $0.75 
“Enchantment”, U.S. Plant Patent 862—Seems 
to be the most prolific, as well as the most beautiful of 
all the lilies that we have raised. It may be worth noting 
that this lily grew from seed planted in the spring of 
1942 and that, while our stocks are still small, only 
eight years later, we have enough bulbs to warrant color 
plating and commercial introduction. Enchantment is 
an upright lily of excellent habit, with many well-formed 
flowers of a vivid Nasturtium-Red. Full of life and depth 
the color blazes in the sun and even on dark days the 
little stock of Enchantment could be seen from miles 
away. This lily which has been so well endowed by na- 
ture, carries large numbers of bulbils in the axils of the 
leaves. It can also be propagated quite readily from 
scales and we have found that its vivid coloring is a dom- 
inant factor, so that it is transmitted to nearly all its 
seedlings. 
We believe that in Enchantment we have raised the 
most promising new hardy lily of the century. It is a 
completely new type of lily, vigorous, hardy, disease-re- 
sistant, and virtually indestructible, if only the very 
slightest care is given to it. We obtained a plant patent 
on this lily and it may not be grown commercially with- 
out our express consent. each, $0.50 
‘“‘Harmony’’—Wide-petaled, upright flowering lily in 
shades of rich and brilliant orange. Early flowering, it 
proved to be one of the finest in all our trials and was 
much admired by visitors. Long pedicels, large flowers, 
fine for cutting and large flower arrangements. 
each, $0.65 
*“‘Pagoda”—Is one of the tallest uprights in our present 
collection. Scaled bulbs grew good three feet stems and 
we believe that in the garden mature bulbs will produce 
stems of four feet. The flowers, six to eight carried on 
good pedicels and nicely arranged, are of a true orange- 
chrome or Marigold orange. This lily sems to be a “nat- 
ural” for large flower arrangements. each, $0.60 
MID-CENTURY HYBRIDS — Mixed 
After selecting some twenty clones out of these fine new hybrid lilies we had another sixty or more that were far 
too good to discard, yet looked too much like the named varieties to continue as clones. This large group we have 
propagated as a mixture and we offer it at sharply reduced prices in order to acquaint as large as possible a group 
of gardeners with their beauty and usefulness.
