FINE LILIES. 
The brush cannot paint, or the pen portray, the exquisite purity and delicacy, yet 
magnificent grandeur of the stately Lily. It is the plus ultra of floral beauty, and we 
urge our friends to each year add a few Lilies to their collection. No other flower will 
so adorn our homes when in bloom, and they constantly improve after planting. W e 
feel sure, if our readers could see a good collection of from twenty to forty different 
sorts in bloom, they would never rest until they had a goodly number of their own. 
As a rule, Lilies are of the easiest cultivation, especially the following, which have 
been carefully selected as the hardiest, handsomest and best. We grow at Floral Park 
about five acres of Lilies, and the Bulbs we offer are large, healthy, vigorous and cheap.

GRAND SPECIOSUM LILIES. 
The Speciosums are the hardiest, most robust and free 
flowering of all Lilies, not omitting the old Tiger Lily, 
while in beauty they are second to none. The magnificence 
of their blossoms cannot be described. Having a large 
stock we are prepared to offer them very low, and trust that 
our customers will profit by it. 
Rubrum (Lancifolium). Large, wide flowers, recurving 
more or less at the tips. Among the showiest of all, 
Lilies, and perhaps the most robust and the most 
radiantly beautiful. Very fragrant and hardy. Lovely 
rose and white-spotted crimson. 10c. ea£b-; S for 25c.; 12 
for 80c. 
Melpomene— Words cannot describe the beauty of this 
variety. Frosted, white, spotted, clouded and bearded 
with pinkish crimson. Petals deeply recurved and 
widely bordered. 20c. each ; 3 for 50c.; 7 for $1.00.

with a tinge of blush at the tip of petals.' The plush-like

Monstrosum Album- Broad, flat steins and immense heads 
of flowers, often fifty in a cluster. Pure snow white. 
15c. each ; 3 for 35c.; 7 for 75c. 
Opal— We had thought that no Speciosum could exceed 
Melpomene, hut this new Lily is even larger, grander, 
and, if possible, more richly colored. Like the opal, for 
which it is named, the eye drinks in its lovely tints with 
delight. To say that it is frosted, glistening white, 
delicately clouded and suffused with rosy blush and 
spotted with rosy scarlet, is to convey but a slight idea 
of its perfect loveliness. The deeply recurved petals are 
snowy white at the tin. gradually deepening in color to 
the base of each petal, which is blotched with a raised 
moss-like fringe, which glistens like diamonds. The 
flower is very large. 50c. each ; 3.for $1.25. 
Henryi— This is the new yellow. Very tall in growth, with 
large orange yellow blossoms. By far the strongest and 
most vigorous of all. A yellow Speciosum is indeed a 
novelty, and it is a beauty. 75c. each.
