Lilies for Growing and Forcing Under Glass, in the Greenhouse, 



Conservatory or Sunny Window 



LILIES 



Lilies should lie potted immediately upon receipt if intended for growing in 

 pots or for forcing. The soil should be rich, the pot well drained. The bulb should 

 be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with 

 soil. After potting, give a thorough watering and set outside in a coldframe or 

 shady situation ; then cover with ashes or long straw. After they have stood from 

 three weeks to a month, bring into the house, till pot with soil and force gently. 

 After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used. 



Lilium Harrisii, or True Bermuda Easter Lily

Lilium Jamesii 



This is a new Lily raised by Mr. R. H. James, of Bermuda, and is an interme- 

 diate cross between Lilium Hai j isii and the Bermuda /.. lo7igiflo7um. It resem- 

 bles more the L. Harrisii, which it more nearly approaches in habit of plant and 

 form of flower, inasmuch as the flower is nearly as large as Harrisii and much larger 

 than Longiflorum; the fli wers, too, are thicker in petal and of much more sub- 

 stani e. It is also practically free from disease. jra^.|, q^iz-. 100

BODDINGTON-S EARLY, or EASTER-FLOWERING 



This magnificent Lily is almost identical with LUinni Harrisii. The only dif- 

 ference is that it flowers somewhat later and i.s, therefore, most useful for a con- 

 tinuation of bloom. The flowers are large and of great substance, and can be 

 depended upon for Easter decorations. Bulbs ready for delivery in October.

Lilium Candidum (St. Joseph, or Annunciation Lily ) 



This is the old-fashioned garden Lily. It is perfectly hardy, blooming in the 

 open ground in June. The many snow-white flowers borne on a stem 3 to 4 feet 

 high make this Lily luost effective. Very large bulbs, ready for delivery in Sep- 

 tember. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 



Retarded Lilies from Cold Storage 



; The forcine of cold storage Lilies is no longer an experiment. If \(iu have 

 not already grown some of tlu se, we can ri ter you lo hundreds of florists and gar- 

 deners who make a success of this method and have Lilies " all the year round." 

 The same as Lily-of-the-V'alley. Liliiint longijloritm takes about two months to 

 bloom from time of planting from cold storage, S])eciosum from five to si.x months ; 

 HO that Longiflorums wanted for Thanksgiving and Christmas should be planted 

 about October i, and .Speci(jsum the end of August.
