LILY GARDEN OF MRS. GUY FAIRFAX CARY, JERICHO, LONG ISLAND 
Madonna Lilies 
MONG the Lilies, the lovely Madonna Lily rules supreme! 
Combining fragrance, stateliness, 
beauty and inspiring characteristics in a high degree, it adds a touch of chaste refinement 
to any garden, no matter how sumptuous or modest. 
Because of their pure white color, Madonna Lilies fit into any garden scheme. For best 
effects, plant them in clumps of 8 to 10 bulbs each throughout the hardy border. 
The best time to set out the roots is during August and September—the sooner the better. They 
flower from late June into July increasingly beautiful from year to year. 
Madonna Lilies are not particular as to location; they thrive equally well in sun or shade, but 
prefer partial shade to be at their best. Planted in conjunction with Delphinium (Hardy Larkspur) 
Bella Donna, truly beautiful effects are easily obtained. 
Both Madonna Lilies and Delphiniums are perfectly hardy, and a planting of them will give you 
joy for years. 
This Lily is very easy to grow, the prime requisite for successful cultivation being the correct 
start with the right kind of bulbs. Our special Northern France Strain has proved most successful 
for many years; it is the finest that can be had, and is absolutely guaranteed to flower the first year 
after planting. Upon arrival of the bulbs from France during late August the very best bulbs are 
selected from the entire crop and sent to our clients in original French hampers at the following prices: 
Hamper of 100 heaviest bulbs $38.00 
“ “ 50 “ “ 20.00; per dozen $6.00 
After selection of these heaviest bulbs the balance of good flowering bulbs, all guaranteed to 
flower the first year is offered at the price of $20 per hundred; $12.00 for fifty. 
Delphiniums Bella Donna—the hardy blue Larkspur, strong 3 year-old field-grown clumps (for 
large effect next June) $9.00 per dozen, $75.00 per hundred.
