LILIUM HARRISII 



Now Ready for Delivery 



Our first consignments have Just reaobed us, and our ad- 

 Tance orders are all filled. In view of the fact that crop is 

 shorter than last year, we advise those who have not already 

 ordered to lose no time in doiup so. Last year we were not 

 able to meet the demand for our selected Harrisil on late 

 orders. At present we have a good supply, and will be able 

 to take care of early orders; but there should be no delay In 

 ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, 

 especially In the large sizes. .... 



We offer selected stock of the original true Harrisil tor 

 early forcing, grown from the original true stock — splendid 

 stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so val- 

 uable Our stock is not picked up indiscriminately from dif- 

 ferent sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found 

 very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in 

 regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late 

 type now so often furnished.

APHINE'S 



Increasing Popularity 



As a general iosecticide for de- 

 stroying greenhouse ond outdoor 

 pests, 



Is due to the hearty endorsements 

 of the many expert floriculturists 

 who have fully tested Aphlne and 

 have not found it wanting. 



Its success is the talk of the 

 trade. 



It does nil that is claimed for It, 

 and more.
