LiLIUM AURATUM. 



TUBEROSE 



The flowers of this popular plant 

 are waxy- white, double and exceed- 

 ingly fragrant. They are useful in 

 buttonhole bouquets, in large bou- 

 quets, or as single specimens. 

 A good way to grow Tuberoses 

 is to All five-inch pots half full 

 of well rotted cow manure, and 

 the remainder with good, rich, 

 sandy soil. Plant the bulbs in 

 this, in April, water moderate- 

 ly, and hasten growth by put- 

 ting in a warm, light place. 

 When weather has become 

 warm, plunge the pots in the 

 earth out of doors. Thv.y will 

 usually flower before cold 

 weather; if they do not, the 

 pots can be brought in and they 

 will bloom in the house.

D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 



Lilies have always been regarded as among the most beautiful of gar- 

 den plants. Of queenly beauty, faultless purity and stately form, too 

 much cannot be said in their praise. Bulbs should be planted as soon as 

 the frost is out of the ground— the earher the better. Select a well drained 

 spot, dig the soil deep, and make it fine, enriching it abundantly with very 

 rotten cow manure, adding a liberal mixture of sand. Set the bulbs from 

 thi-ee to five inches deep, according to size. During the winter it is advis- 

 able to cover the surface of the bed with a thin layer of manure, which 

 will afford a slight protection to the bulbs, and also materially enrich the 

 soil. In spring the manure may be removed or dug in between the rows. 

 Care should be taken that they have proper drainage, no water being 

 allowed to stand around the roots. Once firmly established, they should 

 not be disturbed oftener than once in five years. To produce extra fine 

 specimens, plant bulbs in pots early in spring and raise them in the green- 

 house or house.
