RETARDED LILY and OTHER BULBS 

 FROM COLD STORAGE 



We 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 by 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 experiment 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. 



Liliunt speciosum so treated will flower from four to six months from 

 time of potting up ; Lilium giganteum, 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 best time 

 for making shipments for Speciosums, and September and October for 

 Lilium longiflorum giganteum.
