LniUM Candidum (Madonna Lily) 



CALLA LILIES 



White Calla {Richardia Aclhiopua). The White Calla, or Lily of 

 the Nile, is a well-known plant of easy culture, and in winter is one 

 of our best window plants. To aid profuse blooming keep them 

 dormant from the middle of June until the last of August; repot in 

 good, rich soil, using 6 to 8-inch pot; give water, light and heat in 

 abundance, and the result will be most satisfactory.

Godfrey Everblooming. This is a great improvement over the 

 ordinary white Calla, being of even freer growth and much more 

 floriferous over a longer season. The flowers, while a trifle smaller, 

 are of purer white and delicately scented. Strong flowering bulbs, 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



FREESIA 



This is one of the most beautiful of all Cape bulbs, possessing a 

 peculiar grace of form; and its fragrance is most delightful, one pot 

 of a dozen bulbs being sufficient to perfume a whole house. As cut 

 flowers they are extremely valuable; the unexpanded blooms opening 

 in water, fill the air with the most delicate perfume, and their endur- 

 ance is really remarkably. For full cultural directions, see our new 

 book, "Hints on thcGrowing of Bulbs." Price, 25 cts., or free to custom- 

 ers who ask for it when ordering. 



Dreer's Improved Purity. The finest and purest white variety 

 yet introduced; of strong growth and with very large flowers.

 blue, violet, mauve, pink, lavender, etc. The flowers are as large 

 as the best white type, and equally as fragrant. We offer them in 

 mixed colors only. 70 cts. per doz.; $5.00 per 100. 



Dreer's Select Liliurti Candidum 



(Annunciation or Madonna Lily) 



This is one of the most popular of garden Lilies. The flowers 

 are pure snow white and very fragrant, borne on long stems. 

 Should be planted early as possible in the autumn; give the 

 bulbs a light dusting with powdered sulphur, and do not cover 

 with more than 2 inches of soil; 3 to 4 feet; May and June. 



Our supply last, year was greatly delayed in arriving. We 

 have made all possible plans this season to have them come 

 forward so as to have them here in September,

LILIUM HARRISII 



(Bermuda Easter Lily) 



This is undoubtedly the best Lily for winter forcing, as it 

 comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, 

 pure while, and delightfully fragrant. The freedom with 

 which the flowers are produced is truly remarkable. 



Fine bulbs, 6 to 7 inches, 30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



Extra bulbs, 7 to 9 inches, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Mammoth bulbs, 9 to 11 inches, $1.00 each. $10.00 per doz. 



QXALIS 



These are profuse bloomers, and very attractive in the house 

 or conservatory during the winter. Plant 3 or 4 bulbs in a 

 pot or hanging basket, which should be kept close to the Hght 

 to prevent the fohage from growing too long.

of bloom from November till June. We offer them in three 



distinct colors, viz.: Pink, White and Lavender.
