Sovely Lilice FOR SUMMER BEAUTY 
LL the Lilies we list are hardy and under normal condi- 
tions will come up year after year. But we recommend 
thabin cold sections you put on a winter mulch to prevent alter- 
nate freezing and thawing. Plant in well-drained soil. In 
heavy soil plant 1 inch less than stated, in light sandy soil 
plant 1 inch deeper. Mixing 144 to 44 Peat Moss with the 
soil when planting Lilies, is beneficial. They can be planted 
in full sun but afternoon shade will make the flowers even 
more beautiful and they last longer. In dry weather water 
thoroughly about every ten days. Annuals like Petunias 
can be planted around them. Vinca Minor Bowles is a fine 
perennial to plant among Lilies. Or a mulch of Neutral 
Peat Moss (see page 6) or lawn rakings helps to keep the 
roots cool in summer’s heat. Remove seed pods as they 
take strength from the bulbs. When cutting flowers, 
leave 14 to % of the stem. ALL THE LILIES WE SEND 
YOU WILL BLOOM THIS SEASON.

New Olympic Hybrid Lily 
Armaging New Olympic Hybrid Lila 
B79 On the slopes of Oregon’s Mount Hood this new race of 
Hybrid Lily was created by Mr. Jan de Graaff, the result of 
many years intensive hybridizing and selecting. It is a Centi- 
folium Hybrid and promises to become America’s most popular 
Garden Lily. As these are grown from seed there is a pleasing 
variation in color. Some are cool icy green, others delicate pink, 
some glistening white, still others are different shades of yellow, 
and many with lovely blends of several of these colors. We con- 
sider it the finest hardy garden Lily. Outstanding because of 
its great vigor, health, freedom of bloom, large size (much larger 
than pictured), beauty of flowers, fragrance and graceful form. 
They commence blooming in July right after the Regals and 
continue blooming for 3 to 4 weeks. Thrive in full sun or partial 
shade. Plant in a well-drained spot 6 to 7 inches deep and you 
can leave them undisturbed for several years. We send you large 
bulbs that will bloom this summer. The strong stems will grow 
4 to 6 feet tall with many lovely blooms on each stem. Our 
bulbs come direct from the originator.
