Text Appearing After Image:
THIS magnificent Lily can be had in full bloom 4 weeks from time of planting in water or soil, and can be kept back for late blooming until May 1. Keep bulbs dry in a cool place until you want to flower them. For Easter, or any gatherings where floral decorations are wanted, nothing is more easy to pro- cure at the proper time than this beauti- ful plant. The bulbs I supply are the true large- flowering variety from the Yalu Hirer. They give from five to twelve spikes, whiph bear clusters of large, perfect, waxy-white blossoms, with a yellow cen- ter, and of a powerful and delightful fragrance. They grow well in pots of soil, but the most popular way of bloom- ing them is the Chinese method. Fill a bowl with pebbles, in which place the bulb, setting it about one-half the depth, so that it will be held firmly, then fill with water to the top of the pebbles and place in a warm, sunny window. The bulb will at once commence a rapid growth and bloom in three or five weeks. The bulbs are so large, and have so much vitality, they can be kept perfectly dry all winter and planted a month before flowers are desired. Price for large bulbs 12c. each 3 for 30c, 6 for 50c. Golden Sweet Scented Sacred Lily. Called also GIANT GOLDEN SACRED LILY, THE GREAT GOLDEN SACRED LILY. This is a fragrant, large, flower- ing Campernelle or Jonquil. It blooms very readily when treated similar to the Chinese Sacred Lily, in a bowl with water and pebbles. It also blooms quickly in earth, in pots, and is hardy when planted out. The color is a rich golden yellow, and the fragrance very pleasing. 5c. each, 3 for 10c.
