A Foreword From 
SLandyloam 
It has been several years since we have issued a comprehensive cat- 
alogue and we are glad, again, to be able to send it to our gardening 
friends. 
There have been a number of changes in the lily scene in the last 
few years. One or another of the older hybrids have dissappeared — 
some because they were not sufficiently vigorous to stand up io wide 
distribution —— others because they have been supplanted by superior 
strains —- one or two because demand for them was insufficient to war- 
rant commercial propagation of stocks. This latter is regretable in several 
instances, but unavoidable as well. 
Among the new hybrids in this current catalogue Joan Evans ana 
Felicity of Mr. de Graaff are particularly recommended as are the inter- 
esting new hybrids of Dr. Patterson. For those who did not receive White 
Gold and Jasper last season we should comment that the bulk of ihe 
stocks we expected were frozen overnight in the ground but delivery 
will be made this fall. 
As usual we intend to send out the finest bulbs of those lilies we 
offer that can be obtained from any source.
