Mid-Century Hybrids 
B88 Mid-Century Hybrid Lilies. This is a cross which was 
thought impossible until accomplished recently by Jan de 
Graaff. The result was outstanding. First of all they grow and 
thrive everywhere even under adverse conditions. Very hardy, 
live in the far north. Then the range of colors is superb, shades 
of yellow from canary to gold, apricot, pinks, rose, salmon, 
many shades of red. The blooms come in clusters on strong, up- 
right stems 3 to 4 feet tall. Just plant them in a well-drained 
spot, full sun or partial shade, any ordinary soil, 7 inches deep. 
Without special care, they will come up year after year, multi- 
plying and increasing in beauty. Plant them freely. You will be 
greatly rewarded. Beautiful in the garden and excellent for 
cutting. Our bulbs come direct from the originator. We guar- 
antee them to please you when you get them and also when 
they bloom this summer.
