ALICE HYBRIDS 
WHY THESE NEW HYBRID LILIES ARE EASY TO GROW... These accli- 
mated, American-grown, disease-resistant and hardy plants are bursting 
with the vigor of their hybrid origin. They come to you as large, well- 
rooted bulbs, carefully packed in peat moss for immediate planting in 
any sunny, well-drained, porous garden soil. Once planted, they 
multiply rapidly and will give you every possible variety of color, form 
and blooming time from June through October. They are best planted 
in the fall to give them time to establish themselves before winter. 
These glorious new hybrid Lilies are grown for you on the slopes of 
Oregon’s Mount Hood and come to you direct from the grower. 
For best results plant early — For best results order early. 
Here is how to grow the finest Lilies. . . 
Soils and Location: Lilies must have perfect drainage, such as a gentle 
slope provides. If site is level and the soil heavy, prepare raised beds.

Sun or Shade: Lilies need sunlight, at least until 2 p.m. Semi-shade will 
produce fine, soft colors but weaker stems. 
How deep to plant: Never put more than four inches of soil over the 
top of the bulb. 
Soil types: Lilies prefer a slightly acid soil, such as suits Rhododendrons 
and Azaleas and most other garden plants. Good drainage is most 
important. 
Cultural instructions will be sent out with each order.
