If you have never planted lilies in the fall, we urge you to 
do so. You probably know, of course, that the Madonna 
lily should be planted in the fall only, but you will find 
that all lilies are particularly well adapted to fall plant- 
ing. Just plant them in the usual way but, if you live 
where the ground freezes, mulch with 2 inches of coarse 
straw after the ground is frozen, particularly the first 
winter. 
We have assembled here for you what we sincerely be- 
lieve are the world’s best lilies. Some are the old familiar 
favorites but some are new ones that will amaze both you 
and your friends with their great beauty.

FLAME LILY 
B5011— (Red Russian). One of the easiest of all garden 
lilies to grow. Makes large clusters of blooms on plant

striking contrast in color.

15 years of skillful, patient crossing by Mr. Carleton

and as easily grown as any other plant. Some grow

magnificent, beautiful blooms. 
They are without question the most beautiful lilies in 
the world today.

B5020— Not only one of the most beautiful of the new 
Yerex hybrids, but a hardy plant and a vigorous grower.

AURELIAN HYBRIDS

B5037—From same seedling strain as spike of blooms 
that won Griffith Cup and Sweepstakes Award in 1950, 
and Award of Merit in 1951, at National Lily Show. Like 
Regal Lily but has stronger stems, larger trumpets of 
clear yellow. 2.00 each; 3 for 5.98, postpaid.
