Bulbs 
We offer a limited list, comprising some of the more desirable flowering bulbs 
that are suited to this section. 
HARDY LILIES. These are best planted in 
a Perennial border where the ground around 
the bulbs is shaded by the foliage of the Peren¬ 
nials. 
Candidum (Madonna Lily), 2'-3'. Pure 
white, very fragrant flowers in June. Plant in 
September. 
Regale (Regal Lily), 2'-3'. Large, white, 
with golden yellow center and pink shadings on 
outerside of petals. A beautiful, very fragrant 
variety and one of the easiest to grow. Blooms 
in July, just following the Madonna Lily. 
Speciosum Album, 2 -3'. Large pure white, 
fragrant flowers in August and September. 
Plant Speciosum lilies in spring.

to white at edge of petals, with crimson stripe 
through each petal and numerous deep pink 
dots. Fragrant. August and September.

orange with purplish spots. August. 
Tigrinum flore-pleno. Double Tiger Lily. 
NARCISSUS or DAFFODILS. These popu¬ 
lar flowers are of easy growth and do well in 
partial shade, such as the border of shrubbery 
plantings. They should be planted in early 
fall and do not need to be re-set for several 
years. We list a few varieties that seem to give 
general satisfaction. 
Emperor. Large, clear yellow, with long 
yellow trumpet. One of the best. 
Queen Victoria. Large, long yellow trumpet 
with white perianth. 
Von Sion, Double. Large, double yellow; 
fragrant; the most popular double yellow.

white Narcissus with a small yellow cup. Late. 
TULIPS and CROCUS. We usually import 
from Holland an assortment of the best varie¬ 
ties of Darwin Tulips and also Crocus. These 
we sell either in separate varieties or in special 
mixture. A list of the different varieties will be 
gladly furnished on application.
