The Byzantine Wonder Lily in Bloom 



BYZANTINE WONDER LILIES 



An ideal decoration for your dining table or parlor — a unique gift highly appreciated by invalids or 

 shut-ins, to whom the unfolding of these flowers is a source of greatest interest and delight. 



These bulbs bloom absolutely without SOIL or WATER. Placed in the light, preferably a sunny 

 window — the flowers shoot up as if by magic in succession, such beautiful satiny blossoms blush to rose 

 with a corolla of Golden Stamens in the center. Delicately fragrant in the sunshine. Bulbs bear, ac- 

 cording to size, .10, 20 and more flowers.

 Free Booklet 



Why You Should Buy Dwarf Trees 



i. They bear bigger, better fruit; come into bearing several years 

 earlier, and produce more fruit from the space than standard 

 size trees. 



2. They are easy to care for, because the heads are so low 

 that insect pests can be controlled. Picking is easy, because the 

 fruit is within reach. 



3. With dwarf trees, you can use the land for vegetables, as 

 the shade is less dense. 



You can have forty trees, with a variety, in a space 20 feet 

 square, save several years, get better fruit, and each tree should 

 bear a bushel a year. 



We offer the best stock ever produced in this country. Our 

 apples are grafted on Paradise stock, and the pears on quince stock. 

 They will succeed in many places where standard trees would fail. 



To secure full season's growth, order at once for Fall 

 planting. Our illustrated Booklet including descriptions of 

 Varieties and Cultural Directions sent on request.
