2005 Lily Evaluation Form
Lily Bulb Description
From time to time, we add a FREE Test Bulb to fall delivered orders for gardeners in certain areas of the USA to trial and provide feedback on growth, color and the like.
Additionally, at the Flower and Garden Shows this past spring, bulbs of new Longiflorum-Asiatic crosses were available. For those of you who have received these bulbs, print out the form linked below.
Please mail this completed form to our post office box, with your self-addressed, stamped envelope for the "thank you" coupon. Please do not e-mail photos; we are in a remote area (no DSL or Cable) and our computer will discard incoming files that are too large. E-mailed evaluations will not receive the $5 coupon, you must send us a return envelope.
If you would like to enclose a print of your garden or a especially nice lily image of a named variety (must be identified), please attach your name and address to the print, slide, high quality color photo or computer disk. We accept tiff or Photoshop (preferred)documents and give a $25 gift certificate for any image that we are able to use in our print catalog or website. Jpeg files are OK, but cannot be used in our print catalog.
Be sure to watch your background, natural greenery is best; flat areas of house siding and chain link fence are not as pleasing, but fences, shrubs, brick and open vistas are great. Some of our favorite photos have broken down farm equipment in the distance, so look at balance and try to shoot your photos on an overcast day for best color reproduction. Mail evaluation forms or photos to:
