A Veritable Hedge of 



Madonna Lilies 



LILIUM CANDIDUM (Choice Northern Grown) 



The favorite lilies of the old-fashioned garden; produce strong, stiff stems, 

 studded with a mass of pure, glistening, white flowers, that enliven the peren- 

 nial flower garden or, for effects of contrasts with the beautiful green shrubs of 

 the June garden, are unequalled. 



Plant some bulbs during August and September and enjoy a big crop of 

 flowers next June or pot up, store in cold frame, and force for early Winter 

 in the greenhouse or conservatory. 



Extra Large bulbs 15c. each $1.50 doz. $10. per 100 

 Jumbo bulbs 25c. each $2.50 doz. $15. per 100 



Giant Freesia Purity 



A charming little bulbous plant for window-garden, greenhouse or conserva- 

 tory. Has tall, stiff stem, bearing six to eight beautiful, snowy white flowers. 



Plant a dozen bulbs in a 5-inch pot and enjoy a feast of blooms 

 for Christmas. Where a continuous display during winter is desired, plant 

 a dozen or more pots and set in cold frames bringing in at intervals of 

 two weeks from October. Excellent for cutting, remaining in good con- 

 dition a week or more in water. Much superior to the popular Refracta 

 Alba Freesia, in size of flower, strength of stem, (often measuring 20 

 inches) and purity of color. 



Large fine plump bulbs 75c. doz. $3.50 per 100 $30. per 1000

 ing of water gardens, handling Water Lilies 

 suitable for all purposes. If you contemplate a

 doors now for winter flowers, let me advise you.
