Lilium candidum 
Madonna or Annunciation Lily 
(Ready late August) 
Our bulbs are true north of France grown stock. 
They are of superior quality, free from disease, and 
produce the finest thick-petaled flowers. This matter 
of northern France grown stock is of considerable im¬ 
portance to you as southern stock has proved very 
disappointing on account of its tenderness and sus¬ 
ceptibility to disease. Our stock is well suited to grow¬ 
ing outdoors even where winters are quite severe.
