NEW BOOK OF LILIES 
by Jan de Graaff 
Superbly illustrated in natural colors, this

ence with lilies, their commercial pro- 
duction, their history and their uses in the 
garden. An authentic and delightful book 
on this loveliest of all flowers. Where they 
come from, companion plants, basic cul- 
ture, pests and diseases and what to do 
about them, how to grow lilies, reference 
charts, blooming dates, etc. etc. Order 
direct from us. 
GOLDBAND LILIES.... each, $1.50; three 
for $4.00; twelve for $15.00. This is a true L. 
auratum platyphyllum, the so much sought- 
after, strong-growing, wide-leaved type. Grown 
by us in Oregon in virgin soil and an ideal climate, 
we see immense blooms, from seven to nine inches 
across, unusually exotic, richly scented, as many 
as fifteen on a stem of a mature plant, standing 
fully six or seven feet high. They need a rich 
well-drained soil and prefer light shade. Late fall 
planting has given us the best results. 
OLYMPIC PINK .... each, $4.00; three for $1 1.00; twelve for $42.00. 
Among tens of thousands of Olympic lilies raised by us, we found a few 
sports or mutations that showed a definite pink coloring. 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, robust giant trumpet lilies in shades of fuchsia 
to rose-pink. They need filtered sunlight and cool weather to bring out their 
best color. They are apt to bleach in the full sun. 
Per copy $3.50 postpaid.

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 
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 beld, 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.
