Lilium Caodidum 
Many people think that it Is necessary to plant this lovely Easter or 
Annunciation Lily early In September. This Is not true. We have re¬ 
peatedly planted them In November, and with complete success. In the 
Fall of 1918 we planted over 10,000 bulbs late In November. These 
bloomed spltaidldly the following: June, and we sold (lowers in the whole¬ 
sale cut flower market for more than double the price of the bulbs. 
Owing to the demoralization of the transportation systems of the world, 
It Is no longer possible to deliver Candldum Lilies by September 1st, and 
people who Insist on such early delivery are only depriving themselves 
of one of the loveliest of all garden Lilies. We have made arrangements 
for the earliest possible delivery, and, If these Lilies come In late, will 
not ship them to Northern points where it Is actually too late to plant 
them. Per 12 100 
Large selected bulbs .$.3.65 $30.00 
Our bulbs of this splendid white I.lly are the finest that come to 
America and are much larger than those usually sent out. We can supply 
bulbs from both southern and northern France. 
Special Offer of Superbum Lilies 
We make an annual contract to have 25,000 bulbs of this grand 
Lily grown for us. This enables us to offer It at low prices, which 
makes It available for naturalizing In quantity. It Is unquestionably 
one of tb* most satisfactory Lilies that oan be planted either In the 
garden or In meadows, on the edge of woods or In any rough or wild 
parts of the grounds, where It will take care of ltseir without any 
attention whatever arter planting. It will also thrive In wet or 
swampy places. It Is a grand Lily, often growing over 8 feet high, 
and produces twenty to thirty beautiful orange-red (lowers In July, 
when (lowers are apt to be rather scarce. 
Prices of extra selected bulbs, $2 per 12; $3.50 for 25; $13 per 
100; $30 for 250.

Japanese Lilies 
Transportation between Japan and United States Is not 
yet back to Its pre-war schedule and consequently, Jap¬ 
anese Lilies may not arrive In time for Fall planting. In 
this event the bulbs will be carefully packed in sand and 
placed in safe storage until the proper planting time In the 
spring, when they will be distributed.
