LILIUM CANDIDUM (St. Joseph, or Annunciation Lily) 



This is the old-fashioned garden Lily. Can be forced for Easter 

 and is perfectly hardy, blooming in the open ground in June. The 

 many snow-white flowers, borne on a stem 3 to 4 feet liigh, make 

 this Lily most ef?ective. This variety should be planted in the fall, 

 from the fact that it makes a w-inter growth. It is different in this 

 respect from any other variety. Very large bulbs, ready for de- 

 livery in September. (See illustration.) 15 cts. each. Si-So per doz., 

 Sio per 100.
