from more than fifteen years o 
skillful, patient crossing by 
Mr. Carleton Yerex in the Pa- 
cific Northwest. 
We have visited Mr. Yerex’s 
place many times, and the 
lilies he has there are astound- 
ing. We first planted these 
lilies here in Shenandoah in the 
fall of 1949. ihey are perfectly 
- hardy and as easily grown as 
any other plant. Some grow 
stems higher than our head, 
and they are topped by great 
clumps of magnificent, beau- 
tiful blooms. They are without 
a question the most beautiful 
lilies in the world today. One 
of the seedling Yellow Trumpet 
Aurelians won the Griffith Cup 
and Sweepstakes Award at the 
1950 National Lily Show, and 
a seedling from this same 
strain won the “Award Merit’’ 
at the 1951 national show. Yet 
’ they are so easy to grow that 
anyone can grow them well.

NEW! HYBRID CENTIFOLIUM LILY 
NEW Rainbow Hybrid LILIES 
These are big, brilliantly-colored, new 
hybrids from the west coast. Not only are 
they gorgeous but, since they have a lot of 
umbellatum, or Flame Lily, parentage, they 
are one of the most fool-proof, absolutely 
hardy lilies we know of. Grow anywhere. 
Run from palest straw yellow to deepest gold 
with lots of maroons and deep reds—and 
sometimes with all these colors in one blos- 
som. Lone, tall stems. The best part is we 
don’t have to-sell them for $4 or $5 apiece. 
These are our low prices: B5O25—59c 
each; 3 for 1.49; 6 for 2.25, ppd. 
These are magnificent pure 
white hy brids from the West 
Coast, perfected after over 15 
years of hybridizing. They are the 
result of crossing of a half dozen 
or more lilies, and they far out- 
shine the Regal Lily in every re- 
spect. After several years of 
growth, they reach a height of 6 
to 8 feet with great clusters of 50 
or more blossoms crowning the 
top. 
The flowers are shaped like 
broad flaring trumpets, as you 
can see in the picture, and are 
pure white inside. The reverse of 
the petals are often pink, emer- 
ald green, or brown, making some 
striking contrasts in color. 
These lilies are exceedingly 
hardy, growing and blooming 
beautifully indoors. Because of 
their deep root system, they stand 
severe drouth well. Plant 6 inches 
deep. 
They are called Lilium Centifo- 
lium (Hundred Leaved) because 
of their abundant, rich green 
foliage.
