The bulbs we offer are grown specially for us in the north of France and are much superior to those grown in the south of Trance, having finer flowers of greater substance and better in every way, particularly for outdoor planting.

This magnificent Lily is undoubtedly the best for winter forcing, as it comes quickly into bloom. The flowers are trumpet-shaped, pure white, gracefully formed and delight- fully fragrant. The bulbs should be potted in early fall in rich soil, and the pots plunged in sand, where they should be allowed to remain until the approach of cold weather. The freedom with which the flowers are produced is truly remark- able; even the smallest bulbs blooming freely.
