Giant Black Lily of India 
The Sacred Lily of India produces a very attractive palm-like 
appearing plant. During the summer the stem is straight and slender, 
green in color mottled with white spots; the leaves are green, small 
in size with a lace edging. The plant makes a beautiful and rare aodi- 
tion to any home or garden; they grow any place in the sun or shade. 
A four-year old bulb grows a plant about 3 to 4 feet tall. It makes 
this growth in about 45 days after coming out of ground; a great 
novelty.

The flowers are of very large size, of snowy 
whiteness, and are exceedingly fragrant. Bulbs 
are large and strong and begin to flower in 
two or three weeks after planting, sending up 
tall flower stems, which bear several of its 
magnificent blossoms. As a pot plant it is 
grand and as a garden bulb treated like a 
Gladiolus it is one of the choicest of all flow¬ 
ers. 25c and 40c each, postpaid. 
Elephant’s Ear—Caladium 
A very effective plant for setting out on the 
lawn either singly or in beds, and massed in 
combination with Cannas it is superb. Ca- 
ladiums will grow in any garden soil, but if 
given lots of moisture and rich soil they will 
grow to an enormous size, 5 to 6 feet high. 
It is invaluable for a tropical effect. Bulbs 
are safely stored over winter in dry sand. 
GOOD SIZE BULBS—A very satisfactory size 
to plant. Always makes a splendid growth. 
3 for 25c; doz. 90c, postpaid.

is one we recommend for best results. Each 
15c; 3 for 35c; doz. $1.35, postpaid.

that will make the largest plants you have 
ever grown. Each 25c; 3 for 70c; doz. 
$2.50, postpaid.
