COLOR .... three of each, $3.00; nine of each, $8.50; thirty-six of 
each, $30.00. Three little lilies originally from China and Japan. Am- 
abile is a rich lacquer-red and the largest of this group. Pumilum is the 
smallest and the earliest, with lovely coral-colored bells. Concolor is 
star-shaped, upright flowering and from two to three feet tall. 
CASCADE MADONNA LILY... . each, 70¢; three 
for $2.00; twelve for $7.00. A startling improvement 
on the oldest-known cultivated garden plant, highly re- 
sistant to disease. The foliage stays green long after the 
flower has gone. Must be planted yery shallow. Order now 
and plant just as early as possible. 
CASCADE “WHITE ELF”—(Not illustrated) .... 
each, $2.50; three for $7.00; twelve for $25.00. A 
charming dwarf variety, never over fourteen inches tall, 
with pure white flowers, a perfect miniature of the tall 
Cascade Madonnas. This is the first dwarf Madonna lily 
variety ever offered. There is nothing lovelier among all of 
our lilies. Plant shallow like all Madonnas. Order very 
early for we have only 500 bulbs to go this year. 
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 id 
over the top of the bulb. So treated they will start 
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 brazen giants with vibrant 
colors or small, refined and in modest white—they 
come for every purpose and taste and in all shapes 
and sizes, 
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 garden— 
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 fully 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 har- 
vested and packed the day they are shipped, they 
will be full of vigor, ready to grow in your garden.
