 quires no special culture. The flowers are a beautiful

 bulb producing 15 to 30 umbels ; the twining scape is 

 often over 10 feet long, and does best when twined.

Babianas 



These vary from the brightest blue to the richest 

 carmine, and many of them are very fragrant. Any 

 one can succeed with them, and for pot culture we 

 know of nothing that will attract greater attention.

Floral Firecracker 



The color is deep, rich crimson, tipped with greenish 

 white. 5 cts. each, six for 25 cts., 45 cts. per doz.,

The Easter Lily is a vigorous grower with 

 ordinary attention. Flowers pure white and de- 

 lightfully perfumed. It is unexcelled as a win- 

 dow plant. 



Fili a six-inch pot closely with soil to the top, 

 plant the bulb, water moderately and put away 

 in a dark, cool 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 Win- 

 ters if protected with leaves or litter. They 

 flower in thi-ee months from planting. 



The bulbs we offer are the true Bermuda Easter 

 Lilies (Lilium Harris ii), secured direct from our 

 Bermuda grower, and are the best to be had. 

 We offer only large and healthy bulbs, which 

 will make a vigorous growth and give an abun- 

 dance of extra-large, magnificent flowers, 5 to 8 

 on each plant. Can be supplied any time after 

 August 15th.
