Nid. Century Hybrid Lilies 
For literally hundreds of years fruitless attempts have been made 
to cross the Umbellatum and Tigrinum Lilies in Europe. Finally 
and possibly because of more favorable conditions, this feat was 
accomplished a few years ago in Oregon. The results are astound- 
ing and sensational. The cross produced magnificent plants 4 to 
9 feet tall, rigid stems which do not require staking, beautifully 
formed flowers growing in big open clusters. Foolproof and per- 
fectly hardy; they will grow anywhere. Here at last is what every 
gardener has been waiting for—Lilies that will grow, multiply and 
live under almost any conditions. From the hundreds of seedlings 
were selected eight superb and distinct, long blooming varieties 
which we now have the pleasure of offering you. We cannot say 
too much about these remarkable new Hybrids. Be sure and plant 
a set of them this year and when you see the results, we are sure 
yowll be more enthusiastic about them than we. This group of 
Lilies is truly a horticultural sensation. 
Bonanza Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Somewhat later flowering, it helps to extend the blooming season of 
these new hybrids. Flowers are smooth and shiny in texture with a few 
spots distributed over the petals for added interest. The color is a clear, 
sparkling, golden orange-yellow. Fine open flower heads on rigid stems 
about 3 to 4 feet tali. A fine grower and like all others, a fine subject 
to plant in the hardy plant border. 
Campfire Each $1.10, Doz. $11.00 
The rich fiery, deep Indian red or turkey red flowers grow upright to 
horizontally in big heads ‘of 20 or more flowers on stalks 24 to 30 
inches high. Flower petals are very substantial and thick, somewhat 
pointed, making a graceful effect. The color is brilliant, full of fire and 
life and sparkles in the sunlight. It is one of the finest. 
Enchantment (Plant Patent No. 862) Each 90c, Doz. $9.00 
A veritable giant, growing about 36 to 40 inches tall when established. 
Color is nasturtium-red. Flowers upright in big heads blooming week 
after week, providing a blaze of the richest possible color in the gar- 
den. Enchantment is probably the most vigorous Lily in cultivation, as 
well as the most rapid multiplier of bulbs. There is a surprise in store 
for you. If you ever failed growing Lilies, you won’t with this one. 
Fireflame Each $1.15, Doz. $11.50 
This is possibly the best in the red shades. Color is described by cus- 
tomers who have seen it as Indian red, burnt orange and mahogany-red. 
Flowers grow horizontally, are wide open with recurving broad petals in 
big heads on stems about 25 to 28 inches tall. It produces bulbils 
on the stem, all of which will bloom in 2 years. Sturdy, rugged grower. 
Gold Rush Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Outstanding golden yellow Lily with huge, outward-facing flowers, from 
three to five per stem. The beautifully spaced and proportioned head 
is borne on a deep brown stem with olive green, glossy foliage. A sen- 
sational novelty of great merit. 
Harmony Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
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. 
Pagoda Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
This is one of the best upright blooming hybrids. On top of the 34-inch 
stem a beautiful head of flowers is produced. The flowers are well 
placed, forming a nice open head. Petals recurve gracefully. Color is a 
rich apricot to chrome-yellow and one notices again a soft pinkish over- 
tone. There are only very small widely spaced spots of soft brown in 
evidence. A fine, robust grower. 
Parade Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
Forms fine heads of twelve to fifteen outward facing flowers of richest 
golden yellow-orange. An additional interest is the golden midrib through 
the center of the flower petals which are wide. The horizontal flowers 
are well placed in a nice open head. Its effervescent rich clean color 
sparkles in the sun. We consider this one of the best. Height about 24 
to 30 inches. Makes a splendid show. 
Serenade Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Later than the others, it has a good, clean and clear orange coloring. 
It stands only a little over two feet tall in our nursery which makes 
it an ideal plant for the herbaceous border and for pots. The fine 
“proportions, the sturdy stems and the healthy, glossy foliage make this 
an unusually fine garden Lily, impervious as it is to disease and pests. 
Tango Each $1.50, Doz. $15.00 
The lightest colored of all our introductions to date is of palest amber 
or deep parchment coloring. Large, beautifully formed flowers face the 
beholder squarely, the soft colors resembling a warm, glowing desert 
sand, are neatly offset by small black spots towards the throat of the 
flower. The foliage is, as it should be in such a grand Lily, of deepest 
green, and glossy. Stems from two to three feet tall, fine pot plants 
and equally outstanding in the garden. A color never before seen in 
Lilies. 
Vagabond Each $1.30, Doz. $13.00 
A very distinctive variety growing about 24 to 30 inches high. The flow- 
ers are gracefully formed with fine broad petals. Color is soft apricot 
with pinkish overtones. The soft brown spots on the flower petals make 
the color effect most interesting. Flowers grow horizontally in a big head 
of as many as 10 to 18 blooms. 
Valencia Each $1.00, Doz. $10.00 
Beautiful heads of flowers of softest gold to rich yellow, clear and clean. 
A slight midrib and a very few small coppery gold spots on the flower 
petals create an excellent effect. This is a brilliantly colored variety. It 
stands out and we consider it one of the best. Flowers grow horizontally, 
are nicely balanced, petals broad. Its color glows. One of the ‘tops’ in 
the collection. Grows about 27 to 30 inches high.

MID-CENTURY HYBRID LILIES 
IN MIXED COLORS 
Last year for the first time we offered a number of named varieties 
of the Mid-Century Lilies. The response was so overwhelming that we 
found ourselves oversold even before the normal season opened. This 
year with still only limited quantities available of the named varieties, 
we decided to offer a mixture consisting not only of the kinds offered 
but including hundreds of. fine hybrids as well. We guarantee this mix- 
ture to contain only the choicest of our new hybrids in a range of most 
brilliant colors. Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00 
TALISMAN 
Hybrid Tigrinum Willmottiae and Umbellatum 
A gorgeously orange tinted, nicely spotted Lily which is so prolific that 
from a few bulbs you can raise a large quantity in a few years. All the 
way up and down the stem bulbils grow in the axils of the leaves. These, 
when planted in September, will flower the following year. The stems are 
tall, 4 to 5 feet, on top of which grows a cluster of lovely, nodding flowers 
with gracefully reflexing petals in July. Does equally well in light shade 
Or sun. Each 50c, Three $1.40, Doz. $5.00
