large and perfect in form ; color bright 
rosy pink, changing to a beautiful 
soft pink, with salmon shading when

best pink varieties ever offered and 
truly a Tidal Wave in pink carnations.

TYPE OF THE NEWER CARNATIONS. 
THE TRUE CHINESE SACRED LILY. 
This is the one great winter blooming bulb which is more eagerly sought after than 
any other where it is known, 
the main reason being the ease 
with which it is brought into 
flower. The bulbs are very 
large and each sends up several 
spikes which bear clusters of 
large perfect waxy white blos- 
soms with yellow center and 
a delicious fragrance, which is 
not excelled by any other flower. 
The Chinese method of bloom- 
ing them is as follows : Fill a 
bowl or some similar vessel 
with pebbles and sand, in which 
place the bulb, setting it two- 
thirds its depth so that it will 
be held firmly ; then fill with 
water to top of pebbles and 
place in a warm sunny window. 
The bulbs will at once com- 
mence a rapid growth and 
bloom in five or six weeks. The 
bulbs have so much vitality that 
they can be started as late as 
April 1st, by being kept per- 
fectly dry up till that time. By 
obtaining a half dozen and start- 
ing them at intervals, you can 
have them for many months in 
growth. Extra large bulbs, 35 
cts. each ; two for 60 cts.
