Golden Harwest 
HAybrids 
Produced by 
EDGAR L. KLINE 
We introduced this strain in ‘54 and it is easily one of the most 
important of the new lilies. The picture on the cover of this catalog 
and on this page does not do them justice as the printer made it 
too orange. The strain contains NO ORANGE lilies but is made up 
of creamy whites, with delightfully colored throats, buffs, pale and 
bright yellows and a wide variety of shades and tones in between. 
If you could see the field of them in bloom, you would pronounce 
them outstanding. 
And not only are their colors most pleasing but they have a degree 
of vigor and vitality almost unbelievable. They produce enormous 
flower heads on heavy five to seven foot stems without any pamer- 
ing. Truly, they are “‘lilies of the future’’, lilies for every man’s 
garden. 
These Golden Harvest Hybrids are the results of nearly two decades 
of hybridizing using the famous Sulphureum and Henryi. This is a 
cross similar to the very fine Havemeyer strain. Through the years 
it has been crossed and re-crossed, selected and back crossed, using 
only the outstanding specimens as seed parents. Today they stand 
close to the top among the newer hybrids. 
To enjoy their delightful colors to the utmost, plant in light shade. 
They grow well in average soils but reward you handsomely for care- 
ful preparation. As a cut flower, I’ve kept them eight days on my 
desk, a joy to behold.

Golden Harvest Hybrids 
Please don’t be misled by this picture. The actual blooms are clear 
vivid colors as described on this page and there are no oranges in 
the group. The smaller picture at the right fails also to adequately 
portray their delightful colors.
