Of the Easiest Culture. 



Blooming in Wonderful Abundance. 



The TRUE Bermuda Easter Lily is our Great Specialty. We were the pioneer introducers of H in guantities for forcing 

 J'urposes^ and have alivajs been "HeadQUarterS," S3ipj>iying the trade generally and the large dealers both in Europe and America^ 



This Peerless Lily is the greitest acquisition to floriculture made 

 in many years. Their profusion of bloom, the remarkably short time 

 required to bring them into flower, and the certainty to produce 

 abundant bloum, and also the ease with which they can be make to 

 flower at any desired period, such as Christmas, Easter and other 

 special occasions, render them invaluable. 



The Flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy white, of great 

 substance, and if cut as soon as they are open, or partially open, they 

 can be kept for two weeks. 



A Short Time only is Required to Bring- them into 



Bloom, Bulbs potted in August can be had in flower in November, 

 ii desired. 

 A Succession of Bloom can be kept up from November to 

 May by bnngmg the pots of bulbs in from cold frames at intervals 

 throughout the winter. 



The Quantity of Bloom Produced is Marvelous; the 



average production of bulbs 5 to 7 in. in circumference, even when 

 forced, IS trora 5 to 8 flowers, and of bulbs 7 to o inches, S 10 12 flowers; 

 and, if desired, a second crop of flowers, frequently egual to the first, 

 can be secured the same season by drying the plants off after blooming 

 for a lime and then again starting them. 



Bloominsr Plants in Pots form typical Easter offerings and 

 presents for decoration of the window, table, house or church. Nothing 

 is more appropriately beautiful and highly appreciated.^ Thousands 

 upon thousands are sold in the large cities every winter for this 

 purpose. 



As a Garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely hardy, 

 excepting in northern climates, where it requires a protection of leaves 

 or litter to the depth of 5 or 6 inches.
