Glenn Ford and Dane Clark are iv ured in the new film now at Warner s Elsinore theater. Oregon, Saturday, July 13, 1946 "Tthe intersection of Glen Creek road and Kingwood drive in West Salem. Mrs. Rigdon, a native of Cur ry county, obtained 4500 bulb- lets, representing an investment of $1100, and last December planted them in her 60 by 80 foot dooryard. Now the plot is white with fragrant Croft lilies, 16 to 18 inches in height. Some plants produce three blos soms each. Alluring as the Croft lily may be in full bloom, flowers are not the fundamental purpose of commercial growers. Bulbs that have sold for an average price of 70 cents each to greenhouse forcers for the Easter trade are the producers' goal and the fer tile, red hill soil on Mrs. Rig don's place promises as good a yield in quantity and quality as more established coastal re gions. Named for Bandon Man Croft lilies bear the name of Sydney Croft, Bandon experi mentalist who first promoted the strain as a commercial crop. Bermuda and later Japanese grown bulbs of another lily variety formerly supplied the market at nominal prices. At Brookings, since 1941 when Japanese importations ceased. Croft lily culture has seduced the smithy from his forge and the banker from his counter On a 70x70-foot plot one grow er produced $700 worth of mar ketable bulbs and had a lot of bulblcts left over for lining out stock. Best bulb ground in this locality has sold up to $3000 an acre. A Booklet Is Available Here bulblcts are planted late in the fall and hilled over for winter protection- When growth starts they are fertilized and nurtured until July bloom. In September, or when the bulbs are mature, harvest begins. A bulb of first quality for florist's forcing may be produced in one season from a bulblet. Mrs. Rigdon's plot of vigor ous, healthy Croft lilies affords good reason to believe that suc cessful culture of this lucrative bulb may be adaptable to select sites in the Polk county hills. Those further interested in this possibility may obtain circular 3.19, "Growing Easter Lily Bulbs in the Northwest," from the stale college and learn about the technical aspects of Croft lily culture for themselves.
