For your Easter pot plant sales, use Ball Crofts. 
FOR CUT 
Ball Crofts make a large, more perfectly formed flower than 
other cut flower lilies. Close planting, adequate water, feeding, 
and slight shading will produce Croft Lilies plenty tall for cut 
flowers. Several cut flower checks we have had in past years 
averaged 30 inches.
