A FEW SELECT LILIES 
Few flowers bring your garden the exotic beauty of lilies. Lilies are beginning to take their 
rightful place in American gardens, large and small, not only for their beauty but because of 
their challenge to the gardener’s originality and skill. Lilies are planted only in the fall with 
the exception of the two “Cascades” which should be planted in late August or early September. 
Orders for lilies are accepted at any time and are filled in the order received. Our lilies are 
largely from Jan de Graff’s famous Oregon Bulb farms. 
Cascade Madonna Lily. 
Pure white. Remarkably floriferous and delight- 
fully fragrant, this superb new strain of Madonna 
or St. Joseph Lily was developed by Jan de Graff of 
Oregon. You will find them vigorous and disease 
resistant. Flowering in June they make a.lovely 
picture planted with Summer Skies Delphiniums 
and pink Roses. Cover the bulbs just one inch deep. 
Each 70c; 3 for $1.80; 6 for $3.50; 12 for $6.50. 
Cascade ‘‘White Elf.’’ 
A charming dwarf variety never over fourteen 
inches tall with pure white flowers. A _ perfect 
miniature of the tall Cascade Madonnas. This is 
the first dwarf Madonna Lily variety ever offered. 
It is an ideal lily for the rock garden for border and 
even more so for the informal flower arrangements. 
Each $2.00; 3 for $5.50; 12 for $22.00. ' 
Jillian Wallace. 
This is an auratum hybrid. The fully opened 
flowers are more than 8 inches across and the 
plants bear as many as seven of the huge flowers on 
five to six foot stems. The best color description 
that we can give is that the petals are of carmine 
red color with white margins and spotted with a 
really intense, crimson. The flowers are strongly 
but nicely scented and the entire plant makes an 
unforgettable impression on anyone lucky enough 
to see it in bloom. Once again we are sorry to say 
that our supply is very limited. Flowering size 
bulbs $6.00 each. 
Gold-band Lilies. 
This is true L. auratum platyphyllum, the so 
much sought after strong-growing wide leaved 
type. Grown in good lily soil the blooms often 
measure seven to nine inches across, unusually 
exotic, richly scented as many as fifteen on a stem 
of a mature plant standing fully six or seven feet 
high. They need a rich well-drained soil and prefer 
light shade. Each $1.25; 3 for $3.50; 12 for $12.50. 
Olympic Hybrids. 
The Centifolium lily hybrids which have become so 
popular, the finest and largest trumpet lilies yet 
produced. Overshadowing the old regal lily 
because of their broader and stronger flowers and 
pyramidal flower heads, they are the product of an 
intensive eleven year breeding program that has 
given very good results. The flowers vary in color 
from ivory white through soft green with deeper 
green and russet tints on the outside of the petals. 
These tall graceful plants from five to seven feet, 
flower in July and do equally well in full sun or 
light shade. Each, 65c; 3 for $1.75; 12 for $6.50. 
Orange Triumph Lily. 
Big open cup shaped blossoms of terrifically 
brilliant orange open in June on 3% foot stalks. 
A very desirable lily. Plant in October and 
November. Bulbs 3 for $1.10; 6 for $2.00; 12 for $3.60. 
Sunburst Yellow. 
New 1953 introduction so limited in quantity that 
we can offer only one to a customer. This is 
selected from among the best of the sunburst lilies. 
This is a pure overall golden yellow that stands 
the sunshine without bleaching. Each $6.00. 
Mid-Century Hybrids. 
Out of the thousands of Tiger-Candlestick hybrids, 
fifty were selected for their beauty, hardness and 
vigor. From these fifty, this group was selected. 
Plant them in groups in the border for color and 
for cutting. Each 75c; 3 for $2.00; 12 for $7:50. 
Golden Chalice Hybrids. 
After years of painstaking selection we can now 
offer a true-breeding strain of richly colored, 
golden upright lilies that are a joy to behold. These 
hybrids, masses of golden cups on tall, straight 
stems, flower in June. Each 60c; 3 for $1.50; 12 
for $6.00. 
Olympic Pink. 
Among tens of thousands of olympic lilies raised 
there were found a few sports or mutations that 
showed a definite pink coloring. Intercrossing the 
rare finds and re-selecting the best among their 
offspring gave a strain with accentuated coloring 
and wonderfully large widely expanded flowers. 
We offer a few of these new, robust giant trumpet 
lilies in shades of fuchsia to rose pink. They need 
filtered sunlight and cool weather to bring out their 
best color. They are apt to bleach in the full sun. 
Each $4.00; 3 for $11.00; 12 for $42.00. 
Fireflame. 
A vivid sparkling Indian-red that arrests the eye, 
wide-petaled flowers of great substance that face 
straight outwards and glossy, healthy foliage com- 
bine to make this a most rewarding plant. Late 
June flowering. Two to three feet tall. Each $1.75; 
3 for $5.00; 12 for $17.50.
