TRUE CHINESE SACRED LILY. 



The Great Chinese Sa- 

 cred Lily is one of the most 

 popular winter flowering bulbs; 

 vast quantities are brought from 

 China every year. The bulbs 

 are very large and each one sends 

 up from five to twelve flower 

 stems, which bear great clusters 

 of large pure white wax like blos- 

 soms, with yellow centers, and 

 of a rich delicious fragrance, 

 About one bulb in three will pro- 

 duce double flowers, the others 

 single as shown in the engraving. 

 They grow nicely in pots of ordi- 

 nary soil, but the best and quickest 

 way to bloom them is in water. 

 Fill a bowl or some similar vessel 

 with pebbles or small stones, in 

 which place the bulb, setting it 

 about one-half its depth, so that 

 it -will be held firmly, then fill 

 with water to the top of the peb- 

 bles, and place in a warm sunny 

 window. The bulb will at once 

 commence a rapid growth and 

 bloom in two or three weeks. 

 Ours are the -genuine Chinese 

 Sacred Lily, grown in China. 



Cheaper bulbs are offered but 

 they are an inferior grade, and 

 not to be compared with these in 

 beauty. Ours are the g^eii- 

 iiine variety, grown in 

 China. Price, extra 

 larg-e quick blooming- 

 bnlbs, by mail, postpaid, 

 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 

 cts.; 7 for $L00.
