Gon de Craa Cilies 
Out of the West—land of enchantment, comes a fabulous new group of 
hardy lilies—plants bursting with vigor, full of rugged health that will be 
the highlight of your garden. Graceful or bold, soft-colored or brilliant. in 
‘prazen giants with vibrant colors or small, refined and in modest white— 
they come for every purpose and taste and in all shapes and sizezs. 
These glorious new lilies were grown for you in Oregon, on the slopes 
of lovely Mount Hood. Order them now; select a spot for them in the gar- 
den—sunny, well-drained and if possible with a humus-rich, deep, porous 
soil. The bulbs will be shipped with their full root-system intact, as living 
plants, direct from our grower to you. 
Why buy lilies the mail-order way? Because they are living plants. 
Unlike the tulips and hyacinths that are dormant for months, lilies never 
sleep. They should be planted back with the least possible delay. 
From our fertile mountain slopes in Oregon to your garden they come, 
packed in damp peat moss, just as fast as the mails will carry them. 
Usually harvested and packed the day they are shipped, they will be full 
6f vigor, ready to grow in your garden.

OLYMPIC PINK each $4.00 
three for $11.00; twelve for $42.00 
Among tens of thousands of Olympic lilies 
raised by us we found a few spots or 
mutations that showed a definite pink col- 
oring. Intercrossing the rare finds and re- 
selecting the best among their offspring 
gave us a strain with accentuated coloring 
and wonderfully large, widely expanded 
flowers. We offer a few of these new, ro- 
bust giant trumpet lilies in shades of fu. 
chia to rose-pink. ‘They need filtered sun- 
light and cool weather to bring out their 
best color. They are apt to bleach in the 
full sun.

Cultural Instructions for Madonna Lilies— 
All Madonna lilies should be planted just as 
early as possible and with not more than 
one inch of soil over the top of the bulb. So 
treated they will start growth at once and 
make a healthy rosette of leaves in the fall. 
If ordered early enough, we will 
special 
make a 
shipment and get them to you in 
time for August or September planting.
