gins and tips of pure white and gorgeous 
bright yellow centers. Established plants 
reach 6 feet or more in height with as many 
as twenty blooms. As the first flowers fade 
secondary blooms arrive, giving the plant 
an extra long flowering period. 
SUNBURST Each 1.50 
This group is made up of the flowers which 
most closely resemble L. Henryi in shape. 
They are much larger and more reflexed 
and possess unusually fine texture and sub- 
stance. Color varies from cream to soft 
buffs, straw yellow to waxy orange and some 
are bicolors. When established plants will 
grow from 5 to 8 feet and bear 5 to 25 flow- 
ers during late July and early August. 
HEART’S DESIRE Each 1.75 
The typical intermediate strain with simi- 
larities of both the trumpet form and the 
L. Henryi shape. Flowers are essentially 
shallow, bowl formed and wide flaring. 
Most are more or less bicolored with orange 
throats that shade to cream or white at the 
tips. Height 4 to 5 feet. Color illustration on 
page 5. 
Each 2.50 
True trumpet lilies in shades of yellow 
ranging from clear butter-yellow down to 
warm cream. Stock is very scarce because of 
heavy demand. Color illustration on page 4. 
MEI LING Each 3.00 
This free flowering lily displays yellowish- 
cream colored blooms subtly blending to 
old gold in the throat. You can expect over 
20 gorgeous flat faced blooms with re- 
curving tips. Planting in partial shade will 
serve to prolong the life of the blooms. In- 
deed, a most charming addition to any lily 
garden.

BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS 
Strong flow’g: Each .50; 3 for 1.25; 12 for 4.00 
Top size: Each .75; 3 for 2.00; 12 for 6.00 
Originated by and named in honor of the 
late Dr. David Griffiths whose work with 
lilies at the U.S.D.A. experiment station at 
Bellingham, Washington, is well known to 
lily fanciers. Ideally spaced on tall slender 
stems the jaunty flowers are long lasting 
and unsurpassed for cut flower purposes. 
The pyramidal flower heads bearing from 
10 to 20 flowers may be cut as the first buds 
open and will remain fresh until the entire 
spike is in bloom. The color range is wide 
from light clear yellows through oranges to 
bright reds. Most are spotted deep brown 
or maroon. For the woodland garden in 
dappled shade these lilies are ideal but they 
will also thrive in the ordinary garden, June- > | 
July. Height 5 to 6 feet. Mixed colors only.

as many as 20 to 30 large flowers on 5 to 6 
foot stems. These are rare clear yellow hues

Lilies and their handsome foliage will really 
do something for your garden. 
ABOUT OUR LILIES 
Culture: Detailed Cultural Instructions Will Be Included with Every 
Lily Order 
BACKHOUSE HYBRIDS 
Lilies, unlike most other bulbs, resent disturbance at any time and deteriorate steadily when kept 
out of the ground. Also, lilies possess, in addition to the cluster of fleshy scales which comprise 
the bulb, a system of live roots attached to the bulb base just like any other perennial. No gar- 
dener would be foolish enough to remove all the roots from a perennial phlox or delphinium before 
planting it in the garden. Likewise the live roots attached to a lily bulb should never be removed 
or allowed to die before planting if maximum results are desired. With exception of some imported 
stocks all lily bulbs we use for filling orders will arrive with attached live roots. This advantage 
guarantees our customers maximum vitality at planting time so necessary to get any plant or bulb 
off to a good start in a new garden. 
Time of Shipment: Late October to Early April (Unless Noted 
Otherwise) . 
Most lilies may be planted in fall or early spring with equally good results. The only requirement 
is that the bulbs are properly cared for during the winter months. We have ideal facilities for winter 
storage and can supply vigorous fresh bulbs any time from October to early April. Please indicate 
when you would prefer shipment and we'll ship as near that date as possible. 
How We Pack Your Lily Order 
We pack all lilies in sealed, moisture retentive polyethylene bags. If for any reason you cannot 
plant the bulbs upon arrival, do not open the bags until you can plant them. Lily bulbs may remain 
for weeks or months in polyethylene bags with perfect safety. They will NOT lose one bit of their 
FRESHNESS or VIGOR. A cool room or basement is ideal for storage.
