L. “Hollywood Hybrids’—This entirely new strain 
of hybrid lilies, offered by us for the first time in 
1952, is the result of intercrossing the Preston Hy- 
brids with some of our Mid-Century Hybrids. Since 
the latter are the result of crossing L. tegrinum with 
various upright flowering lilies, the strain is thus 
further modified by the admixture of L. davidi and 
L. concolor. The entire new “break”’ that resulted, 
gave us new star-shaped lilies, some of which resem- 
ble giant L. concolor but with immense, hybrid 
vigor, large flowers and tall, dark brown stems. 
Again, as in the Mid-Century group, there are seed- 
lings with pendant and outward-facing flowers. 
For the present we are confining the name “‘Hol- 
lywood Hybrids” to the star-shaped, upright-flower- 
ing types. We offer these Hollywood Hybrids Mixed 
in good flowering size,at per 1000, 4-5” $300.00 
“Jubilee” — A sister seedling of Meteor, warmer 
in color and with larger flowers. The wiry, dark 
stems rise to a height of from five to seven feet, 
bearing dark green, glossy leaves in large num- 
bers, nicely spaced. Flowering size bulbs. 
each, $3.00 
“Meteor’—Bright cherry-red describes the color 
better than any other hue; the flowers are star- 
shaped and face outward and up. Meteor is re- 
markable for its brightness and its long wiry 
stem and its beautiful proportions and poise. Only 
actual photographs could begin to do it justice. 
Flowering size bulbs. each, $3.00 
“Roseanna McCoy’—A bright orange, upright- 
flowering lily with from six to ten lovely star- 
shaped flowers per stem. The color is undoubtedly 
derived from L. concolor and this nice lily might 
well be described as a giant Concolor with hybrid 
vigor. It is especially recommended for cutting 
and for the larger herbaceous borders. Flowering 
size. each, $2.00 
L. japonicum—A beautifully shaped, elegant trum- 
pet lily of most refined coloring and habit. From 
one to five fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers, borne 
on thin and wiry stems. We grow this lily from seed 
OREGON BULB FARMS 
GRESHAM, OREGON 
in a humus-filled sandy loam and it seems to thrive 
under those conditions. Color intensity varies from 
almost white to purplish-pink. We offer our Oregon- 
grown stock in good flowering size. 
per 1000, 4-5” $400.00; 5-6” $500.00 
L. lankongense—Scented, pendant flowers of pale 
rose color, deepening with age and spotted purple; 
strongly recurved. Flowers here in August and seems 
to delight in a porous, loam soil. This lovely lily, of 
which we seem to have a very vigorous strain, came 
to us from the famous Rock expedition. We are 
pleased to be able to offer it to lily fanciers at the 
low price of 50 cents each for flowering size bulbs. 
L. longiflorum — variety “Croft” —A pure white, 
short-stemmed Easter lily which has been the sub- 
ject of much wild speculation during the recent 
war years. It is a greenhouse and florist flower and 
has great merit for forcing in pots. It is not a gar- 
den lily. 
per 1000, 6-7’ $150.00; 7-8” $210.00; 8-9” $360.00 
L. longiflorum — variety “Estate” — A tall form of 
L. longiflorum, and for that reason better suited for 
garden use than the Croft. Neither variety is entirely 
hardy. Their pure white flowers can be very attrac- 
tive in special settings. They are too formal and 
too short to fit in well in most gardens. 
per 1000, 6-7” $200.00; 7-8” $300.00; 8-9” $400.00 
L. martagon album — The pure white form of the 
long cultivated Martagon lily that is so popular in 
Europe and England. The dainty waxy flowers are 
gracefully placed and form a symmetrical pyramid 
on 4-foot stems. One of the most permanent of all 
lilies, once it is happily settled it will increase from 
year to year, forming larger and finer spikes. Our 
seedlings have prospered extremely well and the 
bright yellow bulbs are sound and healthy. It should 
be planted not deeper than four inches in a well 
drained sunny location. Best grown among low 
evergreen shrubs, Martagon album is equally use- 
ful in the cottage garden or estate woodland. 
per 1000, 5-6” $300.00; 6-7” $420.00
