True Cbipese Sacred Lily 



CHINISE SACRED LILY 



The Great Chinese Sacred Lily is still 



one of the most popular Winter-blooming 

 Bulbs we have. They grow very easily and 

 are sure to bloom quickly, they like moderate 

 moisture and plenty of light and heat. They 

 grow nicely in pots of ordinary soil, but the 

 easiest and quickest way to bloom them is in 

 a bowl of water. A few pebbles will hold the 

 bulbs in place, and when set in a warm sunny 

 window they will start to grow at once, and 

 begin blooming in two or three weeks. The 

 bulbs are large, and each one sends up 

 from five to twelve flower stems bearing 

 great clusters of large pure white wax- 

 like blossoms, with yellow centres and de- 

 liciously fragrant. Some are single and 

 others double, but all equally beautiful, and 

 they bloom so quickly and abundantly they 

 are in great demand everywhere. They con- 

 tinue to bloom a long time, and by planting 

 at different times, a few weeks apart, you can 

 have flowers all Winter and Spring. Ours 

 are the Genuine Chinese Sacred Lily grown 

 in China. Price, first size quick-blooming 

 bulbs, 12 cts. each, 3 for 35 cts., $1.35 per
