RETARDED LILY and OTHER BULBS 

 FROM COLD STORAGE 



I have been uniformly successful in the placing of Choice Lilies in cold Storage, and by special care and inspection 

 during the time they were being retarded and of re-inspection before shipment. The bulbs sent out by me have been as 

 solid and in as good condition as when they originally arrived. 



The forcing of COld Storage Lilies is not an e.xperiment any 

 more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the practicability 

 of this method of producing Lilies out of season The main point in 

 their culture, however, is to be careful to keep the bulbs, when first 

 potted, in a cool place or cellar, so as to produce the greatest root- 

 action before bringing to the light. 



Lily bulbs so treated will flower from three to four months from 

 time of potting up. 



As these Lilies are most useful during the early winter months, 

 and for Christmas flowering, I suggest August delivery as the best 

 time for making shipments.
