True Chinese Sacred Lily 



The Great Chinese Sacred Lily is still 

 one of the most popular Winter-blooming 

 Bulbs we have. They grow very easily and 

 are sure to bloom quickly; they like moder- 

 •ate moisture and plenty of light and heat. 

 They grow nicely in pots of ordinary soil, 

 but the easiest and quickest way to bloom 

 them is in a bowl of water. A few pebbles 

 will hold the bulbs in place, and vvhen set in 

 a warm sunny window they will start to grov/ 

 at once, and begin blooming in two or three 

 weeks. The bulbs are large, and each one 

 sends up from five to twelve flower stems 

 bearing great clusters of large pure white 

 wax-like blossoms, with yellow centres and 

 deliciously fragrant. Some are single and 

 others double, but all equally beautiful, and 

 they bloom so quickly and abundantly they 

 are in great demand everywhere. They 

 continue to bloom a long time, and by plant- 

 ing at difierent times, a few weeks apart, 

 you can have flowers all Winter and Spring, 

 burs are the Genuine Chinese Sacred Lily 

 grown in China.
