RETARDED LILY and OTHER BULBS 

 FROM COLD STORAGE 



We have been uniformly successful in tlie placing of Choice Lilies in eold storage, ami, 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 eold Storage Lilies is not an experiment any more. Florists and private gardeners can testify as to the prac- 

 ticability of this method of producmg 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. 



Li/ium speciosuni so treated will flower from four to six months from time of potting up ; Lilium gigaitteum, about two 

 months according to the time of year. The later the season the quicker 

 they come into bloom. 



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

 and for Christmas flowering, we suggest August and July delivery as 

 the be.st time for making shipments for Speciosums, and September 

 and October for Lilitim iottg iflortan giganiciim.
