PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE.

Henderson's Superior Northern Grown 



...LILIUM CANDIDUM... 



(Ready in August.) 



Our Lilium Candidums are the thick, broad-petalled type so superior to the 

 narrow-petalled south of France stock. The bulbs are plump, heavy and healthy. 



This popular, fragrant, snow-white, hardy garden Lily is also known as "Annuncia- 

 tion Lily." and " Madonna Lily." It grows 3 to 4 feet high, and blooms in the 

 open ground in June. When grown in bold masses or in rows these lilies are es- 

 pecially effective, the brilliancy of their snow-white flowers against surrounding 

 greenery of shrubs, grass and trees is very telling. This lily dislikes being coddled, 

 thriving best when it can remain undisturbed for years in good garden soil. 

 Price, 8 to 9 inch bulbs, 60c. doz.; $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000.
