The Cuban 

 Lily. 



One of the 

 most beautiful 

 bulbous plants 

 w e have ever 

 seen. Its ease 

 of culture, sure- 

 ness to bloom 

 and STiperb 

 flower make it 

 one of the best, 

 if not the best 

 of all bulbs for 

 pot culture. It 

 i s exceedingly 

 rare and the dif- 

 ficulty in secur- 

 ing it has kept 

 it, like many 

 other splendid 

 plant novelties, 

 in obscurity. 

 The flowers are 

 star-shaped and 

 are borne in one 

 enormous clus- 

 ter. The color 

 is distinct and 

 strikingly rich— a dark blue with golden-yellow anthers, 

 making a magnificent effect. It has a delicious fragrance 

 like that of the Sweet Alyssum. It commences to bloom 

 soon after it is planted and remains in bloom for a long 

 time. The foliage is handsome, and even without a flower 

 it is a spendid decorative plant. Hardy in open ground 

 with light protection. Splendid in pots or when planted 

 in open ground. Give it a trial. It is sure to please. Bloom- 

 ing-size bulbs., 20 cts. each ; 3 for 50 cts.; 7 for SI. 



The only trouble with my Gladiolus this year is that I have 

 not enough D. & C. bulbs, those that I have being the finest I 

 have ever had. I shall be sure to get some of your bulbs next 

 year. Arthur J. Marple, Trustee, Agric'l Soc,
