Dingee Bermuda Easter Lily 



(See Illustration on the Back Cover.) 



The Easter Lily is a vigorous grower with ordinary attention. Flowers pure white 

 and delightfully perfumed. It is unexcelled as a window plant. 



Fill a 6-inch pot closely with soil to the top, plant the bulb, water moderately and 

 put away in a warm place until the roots begin to form. Then transfer to the sitting- 

 room to the warmth and light. Bermuda Easter Lilies may be planted outside. They 

 are hardy in the southern states and will survive northern winters if protected with 

 leaves or litter. They flower in three months from planting.
