 Wild Garden Seeds. This novelty in the flower-gar-

The Best in the World for Forcing, 



FOR WINTER FLOWERS,

 fragrant, never fails to bloom, and produces from three 

 to four times as many flowers as any of the older 

 sorts. Commonly bearing from 10 to 15 flowers, and

FIRST PREMIUM 



New-York Horticultural Society, May, 1882. 



The New York Times, speaking of this exhibit 

 (which it styles a rich floral display), says: "Their 

 pure white, fragrant, and systematically formed flow- 

 ers were as beautiful as anything nature has ever 

 produced." For other notices of the press, full de- 

 scription, etc., see our circular, mailed free to all. 

 After forcing in the greenhouse or parlor, it can be 

 planted in the open ground, where it will bloom again. 

 It is perfectly hardy. Our bulbs are grown in Ber- 

 muda, the native home of the Lily. Owing to the 

 large wholesale demand, our stock of common-sized 

 bulbs this season has been exhausted, but we have a 

 limited supply of extra large bulbs, which we offer at 

 $1 each— $9 per doz. Also a few extra large mammoth 

 bulbs at S2 each, suitable for exhibition purposes.
