LILIUM HARRISII FOR EARLY FORCINQ 



We offer some extra choice Lilium Harrisli which has 

 tieen grown for us from the original pure stoct. This is the kind 

 of stocli that you want for the very earliest forcing, as It 

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

 are parrioularly desirable for this purpose, as they will flower 

 more quickly than the larger bulbs, if you want to get a lit- 

 tle of th(.' original, pure Harrisil. try a case or two of this. 

 As our stork of this is limited, we can offer only a few eases 

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

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

 this, and sec if it is not more than worth the difference In 

 price over the stock that you have l>een buying. In order- 

 ing, ask tor the pure selected strain of original Harrisil, which 

 we oiler as follows: 



.'p to 7 inch bulbs, 400 to the case, $17.00 per case 



ti to 7 "' " 350 17.50 " " 



7 to 9 " " 200 20.0(1 " '• 



EASTER COMES EARLY THIS YEAR-MARCH 31st 



and a great many growers will want to use Harrisil instead 

 of LoiigiOorum so as to be sure to have the plants in flower 

 in tinie, as the season Is going to be short for Japan Longl- 

 ilorum. The crop of Harrisil this year is the shortest it has 

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

 those who have not already covered their requirements to 

 lose no time doing so. 



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

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

 for Easter, our customers will find the regular stock offered 

 below 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. .50 per case 



FRF.ESIA REFR.VCT-* ALBA, the true white variety. Now 

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

 $7.50 per 1.000. 



BEUMUUA BUTTERCl'P OXALIS. $1.00 per 100; $7.50 per 

 1,000.
