"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.
