THE CHASE NURSERIES, GENEVA, N. Y. 
BEST HARDY LILIES. (Fall Planting.) 
No class of plants capable of being culti- 
vated out of doors possesses so many charms; 
rich and varied in color, stately and handsome 
in habit, profuse in variety, and of delicious 
fragrance. They thrive best in dry, rich soil, 
where water will not stand in winter. After 
planting thpy recjuire very little care, and 
should not be disturbed for several years. Es- 
tablished plants bloom more freely than if 
taken up annually. 
Auratum.— (Gold Banded Lily of Japan) — 
Flowers very large, of a delicate ivory white 
color, thickly dotted with rich chocolate crim- 
son spots, with a bright golden band through 
the center of each petal. The finest of all lilies. 
Candidum. — The old-fashioned pure white 
garden lily. One of the hardiest. 
Harrisii. — (The Bermuda Easter Lily) — 
Flowers large, trumpet shaped, pure waxy 
white, gracefully formed and delightfully 
fragrant. The ease with which it can be forced 
into flower in winter has made it wonderfully 
popular as a winter flower. 
Longiflorum. — ^A well known and beautiful 
variety, with snow-white trumpet-shaped 
flowers that are very fragrant, quite hardy 
and blooms freely in the open ground in June 
and July. 
Pardalinum. — (Leopard Lily) — Scarlet and 
yellow flowers spotted with purplish brown. 
Speciosum Album. — Very fragrant large 
flowers, pure white with a green running 
through the center of each petal. 
Tiger Lily. — Bright orange scarlet with dark 
spots; a strong growing, showy variety, and 
entirely hardy. Succeeds well everywhere. 
CALLA LILIES. 
NARCISSUS— Jonquils. (Fall Planting.) 
Pretty varieties of the Narcissus, having a 
very agreeable fragrance; adapted to either 
pots or outdoor culture. The bulbs being 
small, six or eight may be put in a 6-inch pot. 
TUBEROSES. (Spring Planting.) 
Tuberoses are among the sweetest and most 
beautiful flowers in existence. Plant, after the 
ground gets warm and weather settled, where 
they are to remain. 
TULIPS. (Fall Planting.) 
Without these bulbs, for one or two months 
of beautiful spring weather, our gardens would 
present a bare appearance. We know nothing 
that for the money invested will give a more 
gorgeous show during early spring and there 
is nothing more easily grown than the Tulip. 
Should be planted in October or November.
