POLYANTHUS NARCISSUS 



The Polyanthus varieties are deliclously sweet-scented, very free flowering and bearing from 

 6 to 12 flowers. The pure white petals and gold cups of some varieties, the yellow with deep 

 orange cups of others and the self whites and yellows render them great favorites. South of 

 the freezing belt they are splendid for gardens and "naturalize" well. For growing in pots or 

 pans of soil, they are especially adapted and can be had in flower in the house from Christmas 

 throughout the winter by bringing the pots of rooted bulbs in from the frame or cellar every 

 week or two.

Paper White ' 'Grandlflora' ' or Large Flowering. This large flowering 

 type is such an improvement over the ordinary "Paper White" that we 

 have discontinued offering the latter. The "Large Flowering" is more 

 vigorous and earlier, producing purest snow white flowers of large size 

 and good substance in large trusses. It is largely used for early forcing 

 for cut flowers by Christmas, and even earlier .12 1.25 9. 00 



BERMUDA EASTER LILY 



The True Bermuda Easter Lily. Lilium Longiflorum Harrisii 



The short time required to bring this peerless Lily into flower, renders it invaluable. The 

 flowers are delightfully fragrant, pure waxy-white, and if cut when partially open, can be kept 

 for two weeks. Bulbs potted in September can be had in flower in December, if desired. 



A succession of bloom can be kept up throughout the winter by bringing in a few pots of 

 bulbs from cold frames at intervals. As a garden Lily it is of great beauty, being entirely 

 hardy, excepting in Northern climates, where it requires a protection of leaves or litter to the 

 depth of 5 or 6 inches. Bulbs Ready for Shipment — August to December.

THE FORMOSA EASTER LILY 



(Lilium Longiflorum Formosum) 



This is an improved type of the well known L. longiflorum also known as the 

 "Easter or St. Joseph's Lily." The plants are of healthy strong growth — about 

 3 feet high and produce beautiful snow white trumpet shaped flowers, 6 to 8 

 Inches long. It is perfectly hardy blooming in the open in June and July. This 

 lily is largely grown by Florists who "force" them as pot plants and for cut 

 flowers. It is not quite as early as Lilium Harrisii. For Shipment, September 

 to December.

PAPER WHITE NARCISSUS 



CHINESE SACRED NARCISSUS 



The Jos Flower or Flower of the Gods, etc., as it is called by the Chinese 

 is a variety of Narcissus, bearing flowers of silvery-white, with golden-yellow 

 cups. They are of exquisite beauty and entrancing perfume. The incred- 

 ibly short time required to bring bulbs into bloom (about six weeks after 

 planting) is one of the wonders of nature. They should be grown in a moist 

 atmosphere not above 65 degrees. They do well in pots of earth, but are 

 also grown in shallow bowls of water, with enough pebbles to prevent them 

 from toppling over. A dozen bulbs started at intervals will give a succession 

 of flowers throughout the winter. Price, largest true China-grown bulbs.
