THE 



TRUE 



BERMUDA EASTER LILY 



GRANDEST OF ALL FLOWERS FOR WINTER BLOOM 



THIS is one of the grandest and most beautiful 

 lilies ever seen, and the best of all for Winter 

 flowering in pots; it grows easily and is sure 

 to bloom. The rlowers are pure snow-white, very 

 large and fragrant, and borne in splendid clusters, 

 six or eight at a time. Vast numbers of these 

 splendid lilies are grown for church and house 

 decoration every year. Plant in a pot or box which 

 is at least six inches deep and well drained; good 

 turfy soil with a little old, well-rotted manure is 

 best; the bulb should be covered about one inch 

 deep; firm the earth well around it, water thoroughly 

 and set away in a cool place two or three weeks till 

 the roots begin to start, then bring to the light — the 

 window of an ordinary living room is about right — 

 they require moderate heat, with plenty of sunshine 

 and water, and should bloom in about three months 

 from time of planting. Our Easter Lily Bulbs are 

 of the very best quality and warranted to give satis- 

 faction. We offer them in three sizes.
