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

 vance orders are all filled. In view of the fact that crop Is

 able to meet the demand for our selected Harrisll 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 Harrisll for 

 early forcing, grown from the origiaal true stock— splendid 

 stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisll 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.
