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 " An- 

 nunciation 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, Mammoth Bulbs, 9 to 11 inch, 75c. doz.; $5.00 per 100; $4.5.00 per 1000-

 Gladstone. A new, large flowering Spiraea Japonica — -an improvement 

 over all other white-flowering Spiraeas — and one of the most beautiful 

 winter and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses of 

 flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong stalks 

 18 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume-like 

 trusses, practically enveloping the plant with a feathery foam; large 

 imported clumps. $1.25 per doz.; $9.00 per 100; $85.00 per 1000. 



The New Pink Spiraea " Queen Alexandra." This beautiful rosy pink 

 variety is of the same dwarf compact habit as " Gladstone." It 

 forces equally as well under the same cultural conditions, only it comes 

 in to bloom a few days later. If slightly shaded when coming in to 

 bloom the color will be brought out to perfection. Well grown pots of 

 it in bloom are very attractive and salable. Strong clumps of the true 

 deep rosy pink strain. $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100, $95.00 per 1000.
