LiLiUM Candidum (Madonna Lily) 



White Calla {Richardia ^thiopica). The White Calk, 

 or Lily of the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, 

 and in winter is one of our best window plants. To aid pro- 

 fuse blooming keep them dormant from the middle of June 

 until the last of August; repot in good, rich soil, using 6 to 8-inch 

 pot; give water, light and heat in abundance, and the result will 



be most satisfactory.

Godfrey Everblooming. This is a great improvement over the 

 ordinary wliite Calla, being of even freer growth and much more 

 floriferous over a longer season. The flowers, while a trifle smaller, 

 are of purer white and delicately scented. Strong flowering bulbs, 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



FREESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, possessing 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 unexpanded blooms opening 

 m water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 

 ance is really remarkable. For full cultural directions, see our new
