Bulbs and Tubers for Spring Planting. 
Lilies. 
Every one loves the Lily — and well they may, for it stands unrivaled amongst hardy plants, for variety of 
•olor and beauty of form. Lilies are of easy culture, and as the bulbs we offer are all home grown, firm and 
fresh from the ground— not dried up and worthless as is often the case with imported bulbs— there is hardly a 
ohance of failure. Plant from tour to eight inches deep according to the size of the bulb. They should re- 
main undisturbed for years, as frequent removals injure the roots. 
ms-it ordered by mall please add fifteen cents per dozen for postage. 
Twelve Liilies of any one variety will Ije sent at price of Ten.
