HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—BULBS 39 
DREERS ‘SPECIAL SELECTED 
LILIUM CANDIDUM. 
(Annunciation or Madonna Lily.) 
This is one of the most popular of garden Lilies. The 
flowers are pure snow-white and very fragrant, borne on long 
stems. Tosucceed with it, it should be planted early in the 
autumn, so that it can make some growth before frost; give 
the bulbs a light dusting with powdered sulphur, and do not 
cover with more than 2 inches of soil; 3 to 4 feet; May-June. 
The bulbs we offer are grown speciatly for us in the north of 
France and are much superior to those grown in the south of 
France, having finer flowers of greater substance and better in 
every way, particularly for outdoor planting.

LILIUM WARRISITI (The Bermuda Easter Lily). 
This magnificent Lily is undoubtedly the best for winter 
forcing, as it comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are 
trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delight- 
fully fragrant. The bulbs should be potted in early fall in 
rich soil, and the pots plunged in sand, where they should be 
allowed to remain until the approach of cold weather, The 
freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly remark- 
able; even the smallest bulbs blooming freely.

ORNITHOGALUM ARABICUM. 
(Arabian Star of Bethlehem.) 
A very showy and distinct species, bearing racemes of white 
flowers with a black centre, having a sweet aromatic odor; 
grows 1 to 2 feet in height, and succeeds either outdoors or in 
pots. Excellent for forcing, and largely used by florists for 
this purpose. Of the easiest cultivation. 5 cts. each; 30 cts. 
per doz.; $2.00 per 100. 
a peculiar grace of form, and its fragrance is most delightful, 
one pot of a dozen bulbs being sufficient to perfume a whole 
house. As cut flowers they are extremely valuable; the unex- 
panded blooms, opening in water, fill the air with the most 
delicate perfume, and their endurance is really remarkable. 
They force very easily, and can be had in flower in January, and 
continue in succession until June. When potted these should 
not be placed in a dark place, like most other bulbs, but should 
be put directly in the light, and prefer a rather cool position and close to the light, 
which keeps them short and sturdy.
