WM. HENRY MAULE, PHILADELPHIA, PA. Sean 
.. SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS, ROOTS, ETC. 
Iam probably doing today one of the largest trades in Summer Flowering Bulbs in 
W) Hy America. The annual sales of this department ten years ago were very little over 
$5,000; and while my seed business has doubled in that time this department has done 
even better, as at a rough guess I should say that last year I sold over $25,000 worth of 
Bulbs and Roots. I think this emphasizes the quality of the stock Iam sending out, 
and nothing further need be said except that with every order for Bulbs, a copy of my 
little pamphlet “Bulb Culture” will be enclosed, so that no one need fail to have the 
best of success if they follow the directions given therein. 
AMARYLLIS. The Royal Lilies. [— 
FORMOSISSIMA, Also known as Scarlet 
Mexican and Jacobean Lily. Of extremely rich, 
velvety, crimson color. It is a free bloomer, and

It can also be bloomed in water, like a hyacinth. 
15 cents each; $1.25 per dozen, postpaid. 
VITATTA. A most handsome variety of ama- 
ryllis. It has immense flowers and is a continuous
