Nid- Century Ft ybrid Lilies 
For literally hundreds of years fruitless attempts have been made to cross 
the Umbellatum and Tigrinum Lilies in Europe. Finally and possibly because 
of more favorable conditions, this feat was accomplished a few years ago in 
Oregon. The results are astounding and sensational. The cross produced mag- 
nificent plants 4 to 5 feet tall, rigid stems which do not require staking, beauti- 
fully formed flowers growing in big open clusters. Fool-proof and perfectly 
hardy; they will grow anywhere. Here at last is what every gardener has been 
waiting for—tLilies that will grow, multiply and live under almost any condi- 
tions. From the hundreds of seedlings were selected twelve superb and dis- 
tinct, long blooming varieties which we now have the pleasure of offering 
you. We cannot say too much about these remarkable new Hybrids. Be sure 
and plant a set of them this year and when you see the results, we are sure 
youll be more enthusiastic about them than we. This group of Lilies is truly 
a horticultural sensation. 
Enchantment (Plant Patent No. 862) Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.90 
A veritable giant, growing about 36 to 40 inches tall when established. 
Color is nasturtium-red. Flowers upright in big heads blooming week 
after week, providing a blaze of the richest possible color in the gar- 
den. Enchantment is probably the most vigorous Lily in cultivation, as 
well as the most rapid multiplier of bulbs. There is a surprise in store 
for you. If you ever failed growing Lilies, you won’t with this one. 
Fireflame Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75 
This is possibly the best in the red shades. Color is described by cus- 
tomers who have seen it as Indian red, burnt orange and mahogany- 
red. Flowers grow horizontally, are wide open with recurving broad 
petals in big heads on stems about 25 to 28 inches tall. It produces 
bulbils on the stem, all of which will bloom in 2 years. Sturdy, rugged 
grower. 
Gold Rush Each 95c, Three $2.75, Doz. $10.75 
Outstanding golden yellow Lily with huge, outward-facing flowers, from 
three to five per stem. The beautifully spaced and proportioned head 
is borne on a deep brown stem with olive-green, glossy foliage. A sen- 
sational novelty of great merit. 
Pagoda Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00 
This is one of the best upright blooming hybrids. On top of the 34-inch 
stem a beautiful head of flowers is produced. The flowers are well 
placed, forming a nice open head. Petals recurve gracefully. Color is a 
rich apricot to chrome-yellow and one notices again a soft pinkish 
overtone. There are only very small widely spaced spots of soft brown 
in evidence. A fine, robust grower. 
Serenade Each 90c, Three $2.50, Doz. $9.75 
Later than the others, it has a good, clean and clear orange coloring. 
It stands only a little over two feet tall in our nursery which makes it 
an ideal plant for the herbaceous border and for pots. The fine pro- 
portions, the sturdy stems and the healthy, glossy foliage make this an 
unusually fine garden Lily, impervious as it is to disease and pests. 
Valencia Each 80c, Three $2.25, Doz. $8.00 
Beautiful heads of flowers of softest gold to rich yellow, clear and clean. 
A slight midrib and a very few small coppery gold spots on the flower 
petals create an excellent effect. This is a brilliantly colored variety. 
It stands out and we consider it one of the best. Flowers, grow hori- 
zontally, are nicely balanced, petals broad. Its color glows. One of the 
“tops’’ in the collection. Grows about 27 to 30 inches high.
