LILIUM HARRISII 



(The|Bermuda Easter Lily) 



LETi|US] supply your {wants in Lilies this season 



We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as regards 



both quality and price 



n — HE stock that we offer is not gathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is 

 grown for us by a few selected growers, whose stocks have been worked up from the 

 true, original stock. In order to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are 

 not grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the 

 field the preceding year. The ground is thoroughly manured when the previous crop is 

 grown, leaving it in a high state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted no fresh 

 manure is used, and this prevents disease and ensures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. 



In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them 

 in the ground until they are thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good, it leaves 

 little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtainable as good as the stock that we are 

 offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stock, and when this is disposed of, 

 we shall have no more to offer. 



While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest, our prices are as low as, or 

 lower than, the prices of those who offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources. 

 We are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan- 

 grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated recent years. 



Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we 

 have exceptional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest 

 bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 



6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $40.00 per 1,000 



7-9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, $16.00 per case; full thousand lots, $75.00 per 1,000 



9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, $18.00 per case; full thousand lots, $175.00 per 1,000
