Delivery—M arch to May 
Summer flowering bulbs which produce tall 
spikes of fragrant, waxy white flowers. It is best 
for the home gardener to procure bulbs from the 
seedsman or bulb dealer each Spring. Cut off 
all of the dried roots and plant the bulbs out in 
the open garden after all danger of frost is over 
and when the ground has become warm. A 
light, sandy loam is best. 
For early blooming, clean bulbs of all old roots 
and plant them singly in pots or spaced about 
3 inches apart in boxes during March or April. 
Use a light, sandy loam.

spikes of fragrant, double white flowers.
