Don't Miss the CAll.Summer Glory of Lilies 
Few flowers bring your garden the unusual and exotic beauty of Lilies, the romance of the far corners of the 
earth in which many of them were discovered. They have come from Europe, Asia, Africa and the wild crannies 
of America to delight you with their different grace and loveliness, their uncommon charm and colors that offer

you the pleasure of “’pointing with pride.’ 
faction like that of collecting rare jades and porcelains. 
Growing some of the stranger varieties gives you enjoyment and satis- 
Lilies have taken their rightful place in American gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty but 
because of their challenge to the gardener’s originality and skill. As a group they are not the easiest flowers to 
grow; but in the past few years it has been demonstrated that a great many kinds are not difficult, in fact 
some are just plain easy while others just difficult enough to stimulate gardening interest. 
And they pay you 
well in distinctive results, a steady parade of changing bloom from early June to late October. 
Lovely Lilies Easily Grown 
Among those easily cultivated, certainly you want the fragrant 
whiteness of MADONNA LILIES (LILIUM CANDIDUM). A beau- 
tiful and healthy type is now being cultivated in Oregon, and there 
are also again available fine bulbs from France as in the past. 
The NANKEEN LILY or LILIUM TESTACEUM gives you the deli- 
cate brilliance of soft apricot against bright orange anthers, a per- 
fect combination—still called the most beautiful of Lilies. 
Of recent introduction are the ‘““MID-CENTURY HYBRIDS.” 
Nothing equals them in vivid colors, ease of culture, freedom of 
disease as well as rapid increase. They create a superb color effect 
in early summer. Look at pages 20, 21 and 22, for complete 
descriptions and color illustrations. Printer’s ink simply cannot 
reproduce the sparkle and glow these flowers possess. 
For later bloom there is the true and tried REGAL LILY which 
is now put into second place by the introduction of the new 
CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS. There is nothing that can compare with 
these for midsummer bloom, colors vary subtly from purest white 
to others faintly shaded emerald-green or pink. Their wide flaring 
trumpets are superb, and last but not least they are of easiest 
culture. 
Then there is TALISMAN, and the UMBELLATUM ELEGANS 
HYBRIDS, not to forget the SPECIOSUMS and AURATUMS to 
close the season. Don’t miss the enjoyment and adventure of them, 
and many others.

Lilies Gfor Indoor rowing 
These are usually grown for specimens in pots for exhibition and 
decoration. 
The short time required to bring these peerless Lilies into flower 
renders them invaluable. The flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure 
waxy white, and if cut when partially open can be kept for two weeks, 
if desired. A succession of bloom can be kept throughout the winter 
by bringing a few pots of bulbs from cold frames at intervals. Bloom- 
ing plants in pots are suitable for Easter offerings and presents. 
Longiflorum, Crofti (Estate Lily) 
This is the most popular kind to grow as pot plants, for decoration and 
equally as valuable for cutting. 
Mammoth Bulbs Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00, 100 $60.00 
Longiflorum Harrisi (Bermuda Easter Lily) 
This is the common Easter Lily for decoration and equally as valuable 
for cutting. Bulbs should produce from 8 to 12 flowers. 
Mammoth Bulbs Each 85c, Three $2.40, Doz. $9.25, 100 $65.00 
Lilies, unlike most bulbs, are not all grown in one locality under 
one and the same conditions, but are gathered together from many 
foreign countries. All ripen at different times of the year; therefore, 
orders for Lilies cannot always be filled at one time. The require- 
ments of Lilies vary with each variety. We have a booklet on their 
culture, which will be sent to you upon receipt of 25 cents. Because 
of the lack of knowledge and the carelessness of many planters, we 
cannot guarantee Lilies to grow. We do, however, guarantee to supply 
you bulbs in good condition and will replace without charge any 
damaged bulbs, immediately upon hearing from you.
