measuring, on well-grown bulbs, two inches in diameter. The 
foliage is also beautiful and it is a charming winter bloomer. 
25 cents each. 
Milk and Wine Lily 
(Crinum Fimbriatum.) “I must tell you that Milk and Wine 
Lily has done famous work. It has developed nine fine blooms, 
and there are two unopened buds. We, therefore, gave it a free 
ride last Wednesday to our chapel services. It was admired by 
everybody. There were Bostonians and people from various towns 
to admire and enjoy it.”—Mrs. E. Adams, Mass. A grand sort. 
The most beautiful of the Crinums. Its bulbs grow large, and its 
strong-growing foliage is erect and sword-shaped; flowers in um- 
bels, very large and showy, three to four inches in diameter,

Here are the Best.

THE GODFREY CALLA LILY, ‘‘Devoniensis’? — Undoubt- 
edly the finest thing ever sent out in the Calla line, and quite 
indispensable. Blooms all winter. Compared with the ordinary 
Calla, it gives three blooms to one; it is snow-white and perfect 
in form. Blooms on very small plants, though it attains to a 
very large size with very large flowers. The new Godfrey Calla 
Devoniensis is a wonder. Blooming bulbs, 35 cents each. 
GOLDEN YELLOW CALLA (Richardia Elliottiana)—Entirely 
distinct and unlike all other forms of yellow Calla; it has the 
same habit of growth as the ordinary white variety, with flowers 
of same size and shape, but of a rich, clear, lustrous golden- 
yellow color; the foliage is dark green with a number of trans- 
lucent creamy-white spots, which add much to its beauty. It 
is but a few years ago that this sold at a very high price. We 
are now able to offer strong, blooming bulbs at 75 cents each. 
Spider Lily 
This is one of the prettiest and daintiest of all Lilies. It is pure 
white with bands of a greenish color through the flower; this green 
and the white make a charming combination that everyone ad- 
mires. The filaments and stamens of this choice Lily resemble a 
huge spider; not repulsive, but the most beautiful and delicate of 
all lilies. Each, 40 cents; three for $1.00. 
Lily of the Valley 
The modest bell-shaped flowers, of the purest white, are highly 
prized for cutting purposes, and for flowering in pots in winter 
they are exceedingly well adapted. Beautiful and most interesting 
ornamental designs for the parlor or conservatory may be produced 
by planting Lily crownsin Crocus pots or in pyramidal pots made 
especially for this purpose and pierced with holes. They will last 
| several weeks in beauty. By taking them in at intervals a suc- 
| cession of different designs may be kept up all winter. They are 
| also forced in immense quantities by florists, but they are the 
most charming when grown in large patches in partially shaded 
localities around the lawn, near the borders of streams, lakes, 
etc., being perfectly hardy. Price, 4 cents each; 40 cents per 
dozen; 25 for 75 cts. 
REMEMBER—Our Gladioli are the finest in the

that of cinnamon. The fragrance is remarkable and too delightful 
to describe. Bears white flowers with fine cinnamon fragrance.
