Wares Lily Goad 
Lily lovers have long bzen wanting a practical 
and safe source of food elements for their be- 
loved bulbs. They have been warned not to 
use this or that but until now, no food esp2- 
cially made for them has been available. 
With cooperation of U.S.D.A. Extension ex- 
perts and pathologists, a truly comprehensive 
lily feeding program has been worked out. 
It is believed it will fill this long felt want 
for a safe and practical program. This food 
is planned to supply the nourishment fre- 
quently lacking in many garden soils. It does 
so with a minimum of effort and without 
danger of over stimulation.

MAMMOTH HYBRID 
AMARYLLIS 
No. 1560 
If you have never grown Amaryllis in the 
house there is a real treat in store for you. 
They are among the easiest of bulbs for in- 
door forcing. Plant in pots that are but little 
larger in diameter than the bulb. They need 
to be root crowded to do their best. After 
blooming let them rest for a while and then 
start them over again. 
These Mammoth Hybrids are all grown in 
Oregon and come with roots intact, in MIXED 
COLORS ONLY. They can be had most any 
time of the year. In the greenhouse blooms 
well over eight inches in diameter are not 
unusual. Mamomth Hybrid Amaryllis are 
ideal gifts for friends who like to grow flow- 
ers in the house. If you wish them sent as 
gifts, PLEASE send a card to be enclosed.

HEMEROCALLIS 
We have discontinued Hemerocallis except 
two varieties in which we have specialized for 
several years. These two are extra good and 
deserve a place in your garden. Hyperion 
stands out in any collection as one of the 
highlights of the hardy border. Fulva Rosea 
is a rare species from the Orient, a most de- 
sirable variety. 
HEMEROCALLIS Hyperion—1470-—The ex- 
perts consider this one of the very finest°va- 
rieties. Its huge blooms, much like giant 
Amaryllis, are a lovely citron-yellow and very 
fragrant. A prolific bloomer on 40 inch tall 
stems. It is easily one of the best not only in 
the garden but also for cutting as it opens well 
in water. The Royal Horticultural Society gave 
it an Award of Merit. Even its gracefully 
arched foliage is attractive in the border. It 
is not only beautiful but grows anywhere, sun 
or shade, wet or dry. Flowers July into Au- 
gust. You will find few Hemerocallis to equal 
it. Eel W5e, 3 itor 32010), (Dreve, Sii/ SiO! 
HEMEROCALLIS Fulva Rosea, Clon Rosalind- 
1460-This is a rare species seldom found in

golden-yellow center on tall graceful stems, a 
delightfully refined flower you will like very 
much. Ht. 3% ft. June-July flowering.

Mycronized Copper for Botrytis Coutrel 
If you’ve not tried this new spray (we intro- 
duced it in ‘46) for the control of this bother- 
some lily disease you should obtain a supply 
at once. Botrytis destroys the lower leaves of 
lilies and sometimes entire stems during 
humid weather. Micronized Copper with 101 
Spreader was developed here in the North- 
west where millions of lilies are grown and 
has proven almost 100% control. Unlike the 
commonly used bordeaux, it will not burn the 
tenderest seedlings. It adheres even through 
heavy rains, keeps well in mixture and is 
very easy to clean out of your sprayer. 
Botrytis, despite reports to the contrary, is 
not necessarily fatal to lilies. It may destroy 
the foliage but it does not attack the bulb, 
nor is it carried by the bulb and it does not 
winter over in the soil. Repeated tests have 
proven that plantings affected one season 
may be entirely healthy the next but loss of 
the foliage may weaken the bulb and threaten 
its survival. So be prepared to promptly 
combat botrytis when it first puts in its ap- 
pearance. This spray is preventative rather 
than curative. 
TRIAL SIZE 
One pound of Micronized Copper and four 
ounces of the Spreader (enough to make 
25 gallons), shipped postpaid for. .$2.75

This new improved Micronized Copper and 
Spreader is all you need to combat botrytis 
but be sure you have it on hand BEFORE 
it is needed. A delay of but a few hours can 
make a great difference in results when it is 
needed. 
This Micronized Copper and Spreader can 
also be used wherever you would use the old 
fashioned bordeaux and with much better 
results. It does not leave unsightly stains on 
foliage like the latter. Once you try this new 
spray you'll never go back to the old fash- 
ioned messy bordeaux. It is so much safer and 
more sure in results. 
{f desirable you may add nicotine sulphate 
(Blackleaf 40) to control aphids at the same 
time at the rate on an ounce to 25 gallons. 
Aphids are the spreaders of lily mosaic and 
should definitely be controlled wherever lilies 
are grown. Both Copper and Spreader keep 
perfectly, so if you do not use it all this 
season you will be ready for next year. 
ECONOMY SIZE 
Four pounds of Micronized Copper and 
one pint of the Spreader (enough for 100 
gallons). Postpaid $4.95
