THE NORTH AMERICAN 
LILY SOCIETY 
was organized in July 1947, “to promote interest 
in the genus Lilium, scientific research in its 
breeding and culture, standardization of its 
varietal names, the dissemination of information 
concerning the above and to promote such other 
purposes as may advance the culture of lilies.” 
All persons interested in flowers, whether garden- 
ers, growers or dealers, are cordially invited to 
become members of the Society. 
Annual Membership is $3.00. 
Sustaining Membership is $5.00 or as much more 
as the member desires to contribute. 
Life Membership is $100.00. 
The fiscal year of the Society runs from January | 
through December 31 and memberships run for 
those dates only. Among other things, membership 
entitles one to the yearbook which is always pub- 
lished in the last quarter of the fiscal year. 
Since this is the principal benefit of membership, 
all new members are enrolled for the current year 
up until the first of October, unless they direct us 
otherwise. Copies of the bulletins are saved and 
sent until exhausted to new members as they join 
and the activities are concentrated in the last haif 
of the fiscal year so that this arrangement is usual- 
ly satisfactory. 
Copies of the yearbooks already published are 
available through the secretary at $2.50 each to 
members, $3.00 to non-members. They form an at- 
tractive, well bound series of books, each contain- 
ing completely different material which would be 
of great help and interest to a lily grower. ‘There 
are articles by scientists, commercial growers, and 
amateurs on all phases of lily culture and breeding.
