LILIUM HARRISII FOR EARLY FORGING 



We uffer somo extra choice Lllluiu Harrisll which has 

 heen grown for us fnim the original pure stock. This is the liind 

 or stocli that you want for the very earliest forcing, as it 

 is the true, original Harrisii. The small sizes— 5-7s and 6-7s— 

 are particularly desirable for this purpose, as they will flower 

 more quickly than the larger bulbs. If you want to get a lit- 

 tle of the original, pure Harrisii. try a case or two of this. 

 .\s our slor-k of this is limited, we can offer only a few cases 

 to a single buyer. If you have been dissatisfied with the 

 Harrisii that you have forced heretofore, try a case or two of 

 this, and seo if it is not more than worth the difference in 

 price over the stock that you have been buying. In order- 

 ing, ask for the pure selected strain of original Harrisii, which 

 we oHer as follows: 



5 to 7 inch bulbs. 400 to the case, ?17.00 per case 



6 to 7 •' " 350 17.50 " " 



7 to " " 200 oii.du " 



EASTER COMES EARLY THIS YEAR-MARCH 3Ut 



and a great many growers will want to use Harrisii instead 

 of Longiflorum so" as to be sure to have the plants in flower 

 in time, as the season Is going to be short for Japan Longi- 

 florum The crop of Harrisii this year is the shortest it has 

 been in years, and in view of the extra demand, we advise 

 those wlio have not already covered their requirements to 

 lose no time doing so. 



For very earliest forcing— Christmas and later— we recom- 

 mend the pure Harrisii offered above, but for later forcing, 

 for Easter our customers will find the regular stock offered 

 bel;)w first-class stock— much better than the average stock 

 usually offered. We can quote the regular stock as follows:— 

 6 to 7 inch bulbs. 33.j to the case, $13.30 per case 



FREESI.V REFRACTA ALBA, the true white variety. Now 

 really. Finest Bermuda-grown stock. $1.00 per 100; 

 $7.5o" per 1,000. 



BEUMViU.A BUTTERCUP OX.ILIS. ?1.00 per 100; $7.50 per 

 1,000.
