^ CHINESE 
SACRED LILY 
This is the variety grown by Chinamen for decorating their 
Temples or Joss-Houses on their New Year's Day, which 
occurs in February. For the most part they are grown in 
water in fancy bowls, with just enough pebbles around them 
to keep them from toppling over. They can also be grown in 
pots in soil, s.and or moss. We annually import from China a 
large quantity of the finest quality bulbs, and if planted on 
arrival (about October 1st) tliey will flower by Christmas and 
a succesion of flowers can be had by making sever.al plantings. 
The white and yellow flowers are borne in clusters, and are 
highly scented. Large Bulbs, Each, lOC, doz., $i.oo, postpaid. 
SNOW DROPS 
Planted in groups and left undisturbed, they will 
come forth annually with renewed strength and 
beauty. They are also particularly suited for 
planting singly in the grass, the dainty flowers 
showing exquisitely against the fresh green, while

jury by time the lawn is readv to be mown. In 
the house they will be in bloom' bv Christmas.
