LILIUM HARRISII 



Now Ready for Delivery 



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

 vance 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 doing so. Last year we were not 

 able to meet the demand tor our selected Harrisii on late 

 orders. At present we have a goud 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 Harrisii for 

 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.
