5 Grand Hardy 

 Garden Lilies 



See last page 

 of cover. 



THE LEMON LILY. 



These bulbs are very valuable for bor- 

 ders, having elegant grassy foliage and 

 handsome flowers varying in hue from 

 orange to clear yellow. They are per- 

 fectly hardy and thrive in almost any 

 kind of soil, but prefer one that is rich 

 and moist and in an open situation. The 

 flowers are excellent to cut. They are ro- 

 bust growers, and flourish in any garden. 

 15 cents each; 4 for 50 cents; SI. '25 per doz. 



AMARYLLIS BELLADONNA 

 SPECTABILIS BICOLOR. 



The finest of all the Belladonna Lilies, 

 its handsome and showy flowers being 

 larger than those of the ordinary species. 

 The color of the flowers is white, a delicate 

 carnation at the base, and rose toward the 

 upper part, striped or marbled in bright 

 carmine. The large umbels of this mag- 

 nificent Amaryllis are beautiful beyond 

 description, a single flower with a little 

 green forming a splendid bouquet. The 

 bulbs thrive best in a light sandy soil, and 

 may be planted rather deep, different from 

 methods observed with other Amaryllis. 

 A strong point in Its favor is that they 

 are perfectly hardy, needing no protec- 

 tion whatever. I have a good stock of this 

 grand specialty.enough to meet all orders. 

 30 cents each; 4 for S1.00; S2.50 per dozen. 



TIGRIDIAS, 

 Shell Flowers. 



Are very easily cultivated and 

 always sure to bloom in any situa-

 flowering bulb that arouses more in- 

 terest or pleasure than these.
