GUERNSEY LILIES. 



Fothergilli Major. Th^s is one of the 

 most beautiful bulbous plants for the consen'a- 

 torj' or window garden. It is a vigorous grower, 

 floweiing with great certamty and producing 

 clusters of large, wavy petaled, lUy-hke flowers 

 of the most glittering vermihon scarlet It 

 blooms at various seasons. It requires pot- 

 ting but seldom, and should be left to grow, 

 blossom and increase for several years, as well- 

 established plants, when in flower, are simply 

 magnificent. We know of no plant that will 

 give more contmued delight than this. 75c. 

 each. 



Nerine Sarniensis, (Syn. Jafionica.^ 



Popularly known as the " Guernsey Lily^'^ and 

 ""Japan se Spider LiJy.'''' These beautiful 

 Lilies are perhaps the most popular and useful 

 of the Amaryllis family ; perhaps no bulb 

 blooms with more certainty and softness after 

 potting; for autumn and winter flowering they 

 are extremely beautiful, throwing up stems 

 from 18 to 24 inches, surmounted vd\.\i 

 lily-hke flowers about two inches across ; 

 colors very brilliant, and in the sunhght 

 glisten as if sprinkled with gold dust. 

 {See cut.) 15C. each, §1.50 per doz.
