FLOWER SPIKE 
MUCH REDUCED. 
LILIUM CANDIDUM. 
The White Lily of English gardens, also 
known as the Madonna Lily, the Bourbon 
Lily, St. Joseph’s Lily, and many other 
local names. 
No other flower possesses such a record of 
historical associations as this white Lily, which, 
in all ages has been deemed the emblem of purity 
and chastity. It is perfectly hardy, and thrives 
in almost any soil, preferably in beds and borders 
where the bulb is not likely to be disturbed too 
often. Planted singly or in clumps in the 
autumn, from four to six inches deep, it will com¬ 
mence to grow almost at once, and throw up in 
the spring a strong stem clothed with leaves and 
headed in summer with a cluster of beautiful 
white blossoms, as shown above. 
Enormous Bulbs, per 100, $12.00; per doz., 
$2.00; each, 20c. 
Large Bulbs, per 100, $8.00; per doz., $1.50; 
each, 15c.
