The Worlds Finest Lilies 
JILLIAN WALLACE-405-Unquestionably the most spectacularly 
beautiful of all new lilies, this gorgeous creation is almost beyond 
imagination. As we have observed it intimately the last three years 
and studied its behavior under varied conditions, we are more than 
ever convinced of its true superiority. Hybrid lilies are, without doubt, 
the real answer to the huge pent up demand for better lilies. And in 
this bold and lovely new hybrid will be found the ultimate in lily 
satisfaction. This lily seems to have everything one could want in 
the perfect lily. It is strong, vigorous and healthy. It’s a rapid 
grower, the bulbs stand shipping perfectly, it propagates rapidly and 
all in all, seems to have no faults whatsoever.

New, Rare and

Jillian Wallace has developed from a chance seedling presum- 
ably between the rare speciosum “’Gilray’’ and the rarer still auratum 
‘Crimson Queen’’, in the Australian garden of Mr. Roy M. Wallace, 
who named it after his daughter. The fully opend blooms are eight 
inches across. The five to six foot stems, when established, bear up 
to seven, beautifully held, almost flat opening flowers. Our picture 
on the front cover but poorly portrays its real beauty and black and 
white pictures are miserably inadequate. The color is an intense 
carmine-red with glistening white margins and intensely deep crim- 
son spots. Once you see this lily, you’ll never be satisfied until it’s 
growing in your garden. 
Mid-August flowering. Plant full sun or part shade, the latter preferred as the blooms last 
longer. Planting depth, cover with 5 inches of soil. Because we feel every bulb is precious, 
we include one of our wire planting baskets with each bulb to protect from moles, gophers 
or field mice and from damage with hoe or cultivator. As the supply is somewhat limited 
this year, please, no orders for more than three bulbs to one customer.
