Madonna Lilies 
Lilium Candidum 
T HE favorite Lily of the old-fashioned garden produces 
strung, stiff steins, studded with a mass of pure, glisten¬ 
ing white flowers that enliven the perennial Flower 
garden, or, for contrast with the beautiful green shrubs of 
the June garden, are unequaled. 
Plant During Month of October 
and enjoy a good crop of flowers next June, or pot up. store 
in cold frame, and force for early winter in the greenhouse 
or conservatory. 
Our bulbs of this splendid Lily are grown in northern France, and are 
the true thick-petaled variety, which is much superior in habit and 
flowering c|ualitics to that of the cheap, loose, southern-grown, bulbs.
