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 bemg 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 

 practicabilty of this method of producing Lilies out of season. 

 The main point in their culture, however, is to be careful to keej) 

 the bulbs, when first potted, in a cool place or cellar, so as to 

 produce the greatest root-action before bringing to the light. 



Liliitm speciosum so treated will flower from four to six 

 months from time of potting up. 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.
