True Cbipese Sacred Lily 



The demand for Chinese Sacred Lilies 

 is still increasing. Every year takes more 

 than the last. A\'e have an unusually iine 

 stock this season at less tJian usual 

 prices, and hope to fill all orders. It is one 

 of the most popular Winter-blooming 

 Bulbs we have. Very easily grown and 

 sure to bloom quickly. 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 when set in a sunny window they 

 will make rapid growth and commence to 

 bloom in two or three weeks. The bulbs 

 are large, and each one sends up from five 

 to twelve flower stems bearing great clus- 

 ters of large pure white wax-like blos- 

 soms with yellow centres, and rich deli- 

 cious fragrance. Some are single and others 

 double, but all are so beautiful and desirable 

 for winter flowers that American flower 

 lovers have gotten to value them almost as 

 much as the Chinese themselves. They 

 continue to bloom a long time, and by plant- 

 ing a succession you can have flowers all 

 winter. OURS ARE THE GENUINE

 China. Price, extra large, quick-blooming
