JVIcxican Lily 



(Sprckdia f^ormosissima.) 



We predict for this superb Lily a popularity far greater 

 than that attained by the famous Chinese Sacred Lily when 

 first introduced. For many years past we have endeavored 

 to secure a stock sufficieatly large to warrant giving it the 

 prominence its great beauty and sterling merit deserve. Not 

 until this season have we been able to get it in quantity. We 

 have at last been successful in importing several thousand 

 fine, large, blooming bulbs from Mexico, and while the stock 

 lasts we propose selling them at the remarkablv low prices 

 given below. 



To get tlie proper idea of the beauty of this lovely flower 

 it must be seen. Neither a description nor a coiored-plate 

 illustration will do it justice. While it grows readily in soil, 

 the most interesting and quickest method to secure flowers is 

 to plant the bulbs in sand, pebbles, gravel .and water like

Hyacinths or Chinese Sacred Lilies. Grown in this method, 

 it will bloom in two to three weeks— surpassing in this 

 respect the Chinese Sacred Lily. We know of no bulb so easy 

 to grow and quick to bloom ; it thrives without the least care 

 or attention. Not less than three bulbs should be planted to- 

 gether to get the best effect. The flowers are gorgeous. Our 

 colored-plate illustration will give some idea of their wonderful 

 beauty ; no flower has a more intensely brilliant color than this. 

 It is a magnificent, velvety, deep, darlc scarlet, rich 

 beyond description. By planting at different times, a suc- 

 cession of bloom may be had thro ughout the season. We offer 

 fine, large bulbs ; each one is sure to grow and just as sure to 

 bloom. Try atleast three bulbs of this grand Lily, and we are 

 certain you will be more than pleased with their ease of cul- 

 ture and the gorgeous display tney will make.
