 France grown stock is of considerable importance

Lilium formosanum 



(Beady in November) 



A remarkable Lily with umbels of large, white, 

 fragrant, long trumpet-shaped flowers. They are 

 excellent both for growing under glass and in the 

 open ground. Splendid for pot culture or as a cut 

 flower. Under favorable greenhouse conditions, 

 suckers from the parent bulb keep up an almost 

 continuous supply of blooms. We have wintered it 

 in the open ground without protection and have had 

 as many as twenty flowers to a single stem. Strong 

 flowering bulbs, 5 to 6 in. circ. $1.00 per doz.; $7.00 

 per 100; $65.00 per 1000.
