LILY BULBS 



Many amateurs think that it is impossible to grow lilies successfully from 

 bulbs. While this may be true of some of the more delicate kinds, still there 

 are several varieties which are hardy and can be easily grown. May be grown 

 outdoors for blooming the following summer or may be planted in pots in a 

 warm room and will bloom in the Spring. 



Outdoor Culture. See that the bulbs have 

 a well drained position where they will be 

 shaded to some extent from the hot sun. Spade 

 over the ground thoroughly to a depth of 18 

 inches and enrich with bone meal or some other 



suitable fertil- 

 izers before 



planting. Put 



some sand in and 



around the bulbs 



and cover with 6 



or 8 inches of 



dried, leaves 



which must be re- 



moved in the 



Spring.

We believe that Fernola is 

 the best all around plant food 

 and fertilizer that there is on 

 the market. It is unexcelled 

 as a stimulant for ferns and 

 house plants, and is an excel- 

 lent fertilizer for all sorts of 

 indoor shrubbery and plants. 

 It restores failing plants and 

 ferns to health, growth and 

 color. It is generally conceded 

 that Phosphoric Acid, Nitrogen, 

 Potash and Ammonia are the 

 best fertilizing ingredients that 

 there is and Fernola consists 

 of the proper percentages ef 

 these substances. 



Directions for Use. For each 

 plant stir thoroughly one-half 

 teaspoonful in a cup of water. 

 Apply to soiL Repeat this 

 process monthly and the results 

 will surprise you. 



Part of the ingredients of 

 Fernola do not dissolve at once. 

 Bimply apply to soil and in 

 subsequent waterings it will 

 work into the soil and event- 

 ually dissolve, becoming avail- 

 able ia about 30 day*. 



Indoor Culture. 

 Bulbs should be 

 potted immedi- 

 ately upon re- 

 ceipt of them. In 



potting use a good 

 mixture of sandy 

 loam and rotted leaf 

 6oil, adding if possi- 

 ble a few pieces of charcoal 



Lillian Candidum 

 Set the bulb about one-half 



way down in the pot and barely cover with soil. After 

 potting set outdoors in shady place and cover with straw 

 After standing outdoors for four or five weeks bring 

 them inside and keep them out of the direct light until 

 the plants are about six inches high, when they may then 

 be brought into the light. Keep temperature in the 

 room at about 661 degrees.
