Bermuda Easter Lily 



Dingee Bermuda Easter Lily 



The Easter Lily is a vigorous grower with 

 ordinary attention. Flowers pure white 

 and delightfully perfumed. It is unexcelled 

 as a window plant. 



Fill a 6-inch pot closely with soil to the 

 top, plant the bulb, water moderately and 

 put away in a warm place until the roots be- 

 gin to form. Then transfer to the sitting- 

 room to the warmth and light. Bermuda 

 Easter Lilies may be planted outside. They 

 are hardy in the southern states and will 

 survive northern winters if protected with 

 leaves or litter. They flower in three months 

 from planting. 



The bulbs we offer are the true Bermuda 

 Easter Lilies (Lilium Harrisii), secured di- 

 rect from our Bermuda grower, and are the 

 best to be had. We offer only large and 

 healthy bulbs, which will make a vigorous 

 growth and give an abundance of extra- 



large, magnificent flowers, five to eight on
