CHINESE SACRED LILY 



Chinese Sacred Lily 



During the last few years this has be- 

 come the most popular of the winter- 

 flowering bulbs; ease of culture, certainty 

 of bloom and rare beauty combine to 

 make this a most interesting and satis- 

 factory winter flower. It will thrive in 

 soil, but the favorite method of culture 

 is growing in water and gravel. In four 

 or five weeks it will produce masses of 

 deliciously scented flowers which will 

 prove a delight to all lovers of flowers.

 market, but those offered by us are genu- 

 ine — the largest and finest procurable,

Dingee Early-Blooming Crocus 



Crocus should be given a rich, dry soil and sunny location. The bulbs should be planted 

 about 3 inches'deep; set singly or massed in beds. They are entirely hardy and will bloom and 

 increase each year. A favorite plan is to raise the sod of the lawn with a trowel to the depth of 

 3 inches, place the bulb beneath the sod and press back into place. Crocus are also great favor- 

 ites for house culture, giving very satisfactory results. The bulbs we offer are of improved 

 strains of the leading and finest varieties, and are superior as regards both form and color.
