Neu Hybrid Lilies by De Graaff 
Foolproof lilies are here at last—the new Mid- 
Century Hybrids are almost unbelievably 
healthy and vigorous—lilies for every man’s 
garden. Hardy everywhere and not particular 
as to soil. They are the answer to the gar- 
dener’s prayer for lilies anyone can grow, 
anywhere. From hundreds of thousands of 
seedlings we have selected a few representa- 
tive varieties. You will find them worth 
while, everyone. In the limited space of the 
catalog adequate descriptions are not pos- 
sible. Only when you see them growing in 
your own garden can you appreciate their 
real value. PD 5 in. Full sun or slight shade. 
ENCHANTMENT-887-(Pat.) See color 
photo page 25. Some of the experts consider 
ihis the finest of these new hybrids. Its vivid 
nasturtium-red blooms fairly glow and glisten 
in the sun and even on dark days it is the bril- 
liant highlight of the bord2r. This wonderful 
upright lily grows anywhere with a minimum 
of care, multiplies rapidly, is healthy and long 
lived. As a sced parent, it has proven ideal, 
transmitting its vivid coloring quite readily. 
Produces stem bulbils. In fact Enchantment 
seems to have everything a good lily should 
have and few faults. Demand exceeds the 
supply.

PAGODA-885-An upright wide open lily with 
six to eight or more blooms, orange-chrome

cels give it an immense flower head. June- 
July. Each $1.75, 3 for $4.85, Doz. $19.25

VAGABOND-892-—An unusual shade of 
salmon orange lights up this large out-facing

wide op2n blooms and distinctive color has 
made this one of the highest rated in trials of

one of the favorites. June.
