Lilium Centifolium Hybrids 
Grown in Holland 
Splendid work has also been done in developing a fine 
strain of Centifolium Lilies in Holland. 
Beautiful flowers are produced from bulbs imported from 
abroad. The bulbs are spotlessly clean and healthy, vigorous 
and long-lived. They differ from the Olympic Strain in color 
only. Great emphasis has been placed in Holland in pro- 
ducing bulbs which would give pure white flowers. There- 
fore, Holland grown Centifoliums do not contain the shad- 
ings of white and blush as are noticeable in the Olympic 
Strain. 
Mass production abroad is responsible for a considerable 
reduction in price. Here is a real opportunity to obtain a 
fine planting of Lilies at a modest price. All sizes offered 
will produce an abundance of flowers.

For the more discriminating gardener we are now able to offer a 
limited number of specially selected bulbs of the Olympic Hybrids. 
These plants are tagged in the fields during the flowering season and 
represent the choicest and finest as selected from acres of trumpet 
Lilies. Each one represents the pick of several thousand flowering 
seedlings. Quantities are limited and all reservations must be received 
early. The general types available are the large formal waxy white 
trumpets characteristic of the trumpet family, of unusual substance 
and vigcr, and exhibiting ideal placement with either white or light 
pink exteriors—the wide flaring open bowl shaped type, usually 
with brownish or light greenish exteriors to the petals and the very 
large flowered irregular form which has recently shown up in our 
seedling plants, possessing longer petals which are often slightly 
twisted or ruffled, giving the flower a most graceful, informal shape. 
Centifolium ‘Pink Selections” Each $2.00, Three $5.50, Doz. $20.00 
This is the first offering of a strain which has had our closest atten- 
tion for several years. Although in habit and in culture the plants 
are similar to tne Olympic Hybrids, the flowers are shaded pink. This 
color extends over the inner surfcece as well as the outer surface 
of the petals and is indescribably beautiful. This offering is bound 
to become one of the most popular of garden Lilies as soon as suf- 
ficient stocks are available. Specially hand selected.
