BEAUTIFUL EASTER LILY. 



One of the most superb Lilies known, and one 

 of the finest varieties in existence for house decora- 

 tion, and should be included in every collection. 

 The plant, while in full bloom, is lovely beyond 

 description ; it is of neat and graceful habit ; the 

 flowers are pure white and delightfully perfumed. 

 As a window plant it is unexcelled and decidedly 

 effective. In cultivating the Easter Lily none 

 should anticipate failure if the directions given 

 below are adhered to, as the plant is a vigorous 

 grower with ordinary attention. 



Cultivation* 



In order to get the best effects a rich soil is re- 

 quired ; this can usually be obtained in the yard 

 or garden. The pot or box to be used should be 

 not less than six inches in depth ; place about two 

 inches of broken crockery or coal cinders at the 

 bottom in order to secure free drainage ; fill loosely 

 with soil to the top and, after planting the bulb, 

 water moderately and put away in a cool place 

 until the roots begin to form, when it should be 

 transferred to the sitting-room and given a warm 

 and light exposure. 



THEY SHOULD FLOWER IN ABOUT 



THREE MONTHS FROM THE 



TIME OF PLANTING. 



... This Lily may be planted outside, and is hardy 



•^ in the Southern States, and will survive the 

 northern Winters if protected with a covering of 



M leaves or other litter. The bulbs that we offer are 



J the true Bermuda Easter Lily (Lilium Harrisii), 



}^ secured direct from our Bermuda grower, and are 



# of the best. 



^ Smaller and inferior bulbs can be pur- 

 chased at a much less price ; such bulbs 

 are almost worthless, as they produce few- 

 flowers. We prize the customer's satis- 

 faction, and therefore secured only large, 

 healthy bulbs — the different sizes are the 

 finest we have ever sent out ; they will 

 quickly make a vigorous growth and are 

 sure to give an abundance of bloom. "We 

 can unqualifiedly recommend them to 

 give absolute satisfaction.

Lilium Longiflorum Albo Marginatum. 

 (Striped I/ongiflorum. ) 



This is one of the great novelties of the season in the bulb 

 line. The flowers are as large as the well-known Lilium 

 Longiflorum, while the luxuriant foliage has-a broad mar- 

 gin of silvery white, which combines well with the white 

 flowers, giving the plant a unique appearance, just like 

 Dracaena Sanderiaim. This is a highly meritorious new 

 Lily, and, although of recent discovery, it has already re- 

 ceived two first-class certificates. Very rare. Stock limited.
