BEAUTIFUL 
FLOWERS AT CHRISTMAS AND EASTER. 
The subjoined Drawing is a Key to the Coloured Illustration on the Covers of this 
Catalogue ; and we can confidently recommend the eight forms of White and Coloured 
Flowers there displayed, as being most valuable for Winter and Early Spring use. 
They are all of simple cultivation, and equally adapted for Church or House Decoration. 
Key CARTERS’ BERMUDA EASTER LILY.— No 
No, Bulb of recent introduction has secured such uni- 
1, versal admiration and widespread popularity as 
the beautiful Easter Lily of Bermuda. I'he chaste 
snow-white flowers supply a long-felt want for 
purposes of Church Decoration. In establishments 
where a quantity of bloom is required for cutting, 
or grown in pots for general furnishing and de- 
coration, the Easter Lily is indispensable. The 
flowers are produced in clusters, and are exquisitely 
perfumed. We offer fine sound and well-seasoned 
Bulbs, specially grown for us in Bermuda by the 
most celebrated cultivator upon the Island, and the 
true Easter Lily Bulbs shipped by this cultivator 
^or sate in Europe can only be obtained from us. 
This Lily may be forced into bloom by Christmas. 
It is a most robust grower, and will thrive 
luxuriantly if the Bulbs are planted in 8-inch pots 
about 4 inches below the surface, the compost con- 
sisting of one-half sand, peat, loam, and leaf- 
mould, and one-half well-decayed farm manure. 
" The Batter Lillet have turned ont ex- 
ceedingly well. I cut 131 bloofflt from 15 Bnlbt.” 
F. G. Lkmon, Esq., Castle Cary.
