HORTICULTURE 



November 11, 1911 



At Belle Haven Conn., We Built This Curved Eave House for 

 F. C. Ra voile. That is the Gardener, L. Repaci Standing By The Door 



IT'S one of our curved eave "fit in houses." We call it 

 "fit in" because it fits in, in a most attractive way be- 

 tween tbe gardener's bungalow cottage and the other 

 nearby buildings. 



Us placing and treatment were carefully considered 

 in relation to the surroundings. And that's why so many 

 of our houses are especially attractive. They are some- 

 thing more than mere greenhouses— they are an orna- 

 mental, interesting part of the grounds.

But back of it all is the best construction money can 

 buy and a building experience covering twice as many 

 j ears as the next oldest in the business. ' 



And these are the tilings that count with you — and 

 count big. 



Send for that 100 page catalog. 



Send along your employer's name also and we will 

 see that he gets one.

LILIUM HARRISII 



-The Bermuda Easter l—ily: 



I p--r \js 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. 



The 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 or- 

 der to ensure the health of the product, the bulbs are not grown on the same field oftener than one sea- 

 son, 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 de- 

 sired. 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 dlspo ->f, we shall have no more to offer. 



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



the prices of those who oJer the ordinary stock gathered from indisci „. tf sources. We are sure buyers 

 will find our stock very satisfactory, and much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has bad- 

 lv deteriorated in recent years. 



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

 tional facilities for obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer 

 are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 6-7 Inch, as usually offered. 



6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.0T> per 1,000. 



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



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