Bellingham Hybrid Lilies 
A strain of Lilies which has more than lived up to our hopes, since this 
group has proven the most desirable for cut flower purposes and informal 
or woodland planting. Ideally spaced on tall, slender, straight stems, the 
flowers are particularly long lasting. The pyramidal flower heads, bearing 
up to 20 flowers, may be cut as the first buds open and will remain fresh 
until the entire spike is in bloom. The color range is complete from clear 
yellow through the yellow-oranges to the bright orange-reds with scarlet 
tipped petals. Most of the flowers are interestingly spotted with brown or 
reddish brown. 
Ideal for partial or light shade, they prefer a cool, light soil. They are 
at their best when left undisturbed since the bulbs divide and branch 
rapidly to form large clumps. Plant 5 inches deep in ordinary soils. 
Mixed Colors Only Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $7.50, 25 $15.00 
Giesta Hybrid Soitlies 
A Magnificent and Brilliantly Colored Race of New Lilies 
This new race of seedlings has neatly reflexed flowers, nicely spaced on 
thin, wiry stems. Resulting from crosses between L. Davidi (L. Willmottiae) 
and related types they are one of the brightest patches of color in our Lily 
fields during July. The colors range from bright yellow through orange to 
a beautiful dark rich red. The latter color is new to this type of Lily. Most 
of the flowers are of the typical recurved Turk’s Cap shape and many of 
the plants have blooms facing outward and somewhat upward with #he 
petals only slightly recurved. A sun-loving group, plant them 5 to 6 inches 
deep where they will get plenty of direct sunlight. Propagation is most rapid 
from the numerous underground stem bulblets which may be separated 
from the old stems in the fall and replanted near the mother bulb. This 
group has proven a wonderful addition to the garden Lilies. Excellent cut 
flowers, the stems are easy to handle and arrange, and the colors are 
particularly attractive indoors, Award of Merit, Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, 1946.

4-5 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.
