OCTOBER and NOVEMBER are lily planting 
months and as this is written in August, the ’55 
crop looks extra fine. Some varieties will be 
limited but the crop of most kinds is ample. Of 
Candidums, there are none at all. Fortunately 
most of the new improved Hybrids are in excel- 
lent supply but you would be wise to get your 
orders in at once. If ordering from the East or 
extreme South, send your order via AIRMAIL. 
It saves several days reaching us and enables us 
to give you just that much better service. 
On the next page we offer two exceptional 
specials both of them extra fine values and the 
varieties in them, among the most wanted and 
desirable kinds. Every one practically foolproof. 
All are Oregon grown and fresh dug. We ship in 
October and every item offered in this circular 
comes POSTPAID SPECIAL HANDLING. 
This rushes them to you as fast as first class mail. 
All bulbs are packed in moist peat moss in cello- 
phane. Customers tell us they arrive as fresh as 
if dug from their own gardens. 
CHRISTMAS GIFTS for your garden friends 
might well be collections of fine lilies. Hundreds 
of our customers have us send lily bulbs in the 
fall with their Christmas cards enclosed. If re- 
quested, we send also a copy of our book... 
“Success with Lilies” with either of the collec- 
tions offered in this circular. In the south, we 
send the bulbs at Christmas time but where win- 
ter comes early, we send them in October. Rare 
indeed would be the gardener who would not be 
more than pleased to receive a Christmas gift of 
fine lily bulbs at planting time in the fall. 
SOMETHING NEW has been added — truly a 
startingly new item — a Christmas Gift package 
of unusual quality. You'll find it offered inside 
this circular, If you want a gift for one of those 
difficult folk who have “everything”, here it is. 
Many of you look to us as connoisseurs of fine 
exotic lilies but do not know of my life-long 
search for fine foods. You know the world’s 
finest lilies come from Oregon but few have 
heard of the extra fine cheeses and other food 
items from this far west state. If you want an 
unusual gift, a gift for the true Gourmet, you will 
find it here.
