“All still and lily scented, 
The garden seemed to say: 
‘Oh, weary one, come, enter 
And cast your cares away.’ 
For tall and white the Lilies 
Like guardian angels stood, 
To ward away the evil 
And encompass the good.” 
—Lyman.

CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids—2 | 2-If 
our Oregon hybridizers had given 
us none but these grand hybrids, 
their fame would be secure. 
You'll want Centifoliums in your 
collection no matter how many 
others you have. The huge wide- 
flaring trumpets are generally 
white inside with exteriors green- 
ish-brown or soft wine-red, 
sometimes white or greenish- 
white. Sturdy stems reach 4 to 
6 feet, carrying the large blooms 
beautifully. Will grow in full sun 
but last longer in light shade. 
They flower in July after the 
Regales and last three weeks to 
a month. 
This unusually vigorous, healthy 
and free flowering lily should be 
planted in groups of three to a 
dozen or more, a foot to fifteen 
inches apart. In masses, lilies are 
far more effective than when 
planted singly. A group of 25 
makes a never-to-be-forgotten 
picture. See special price. 
Centifoliums are perfectly hardy 
to cold but, like the famous Re- 
gale, should be lightly mulched 
to somewhat hold back the spring 
growth and danger of being 
nipped by late frosts. 
We will have a good stock of 
these this year. PD (planting 
depth) 6 inches.

Centifolium Hybrid Selects 
Among discriminating gardeners, these ‘’selects’’ find ready wel- 
come. They are chosen while in flower, the cream of acres and 
acres of fine lilies. In form they vary—some are large formal waxy- 
white trumpet with unusual substance and vigor and exhibiting ideal 
placement—some are large flaring open bowl shaped with brownish 
or light greenish exteriors—others are very large irregular forms 
with longer petals slightly twisted or ruffled—all are graceful and 
altogether desirable. The field selection of these unusual bulbs de- 
mands careful painstaking work and skilled judgment. These ‘’Se- 
lects’’ are offered as a special group and though they cost more due 
to the added expense of checking and digging separately, they are 
CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS—OLYMPIC STRAIN 
more than worth it. In the border you will find them outstanding, 
spectacularly so. Culture same as for No. 212. Early orders are 
advisable as the supply seldom meets the demand. 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids, ’’Special Selects’’—213-—Every plant in this 
lot is of exhibition quality, outstanding in every respect, the choicest 
and finest ‘’selects’’ from acres of trumpet lilies. These are for gar- 
deners who want only the best and though they cost somewhat 
more, they are worth it. Culture same as for No. 212. 
Each $1.45, 3 for $4.00, Doz. $15.95 
A few extra large bulbs, Each $1.95 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids ‘’Pink’’ Selects-211—-Similar to the other 
“selects’’ but shaded pink both inside and on the outside of the 
petals, an indescribably beautiful flower. Fuchsia-pink seems to 
best describe the tone. They are definitely for sections with cool, 
moist, acid soils. Where nights are hot and soil is alkaline, they do 
not come pink. Here in Oregon they are lovely indeed. Culture 
same as for No. 212. aeyelal Hos, Sitters Shi) 2S) 
CENTIFOLIUM Hybrids, Pure White Selects—214-—The rarest of the 
“’Selects’’ as only a very few are found. Seldom can we accept orders 
for them after mid-summer. They are pure white inside and out 
except that some have a pale greenish rib or stripe on the outside.
