This is the U-Bar. 

 The Bar That 

 Makes U-Bar 

 Greenhouses the 

 Famous Green- 

 houses * they Are. 



THIS little 

 glimpse gives 

 you only a 

 suggestion of the 

 beautiful setting of 

 this unusual range. 

 The photo was 

 taken directly 

 from the residence 

 terrace, look i n g 

 down the sunken 

 grass plot toward 

 the rose gardens. 

 On the terrace is 

 a choice U-Bar 

 p a 1 m house of 

 Classic design, which is connected 

 to the residence conservatory by a 

 loggia that is glass enclosed in win- 

 ter. The palm house leads directly 

 into the greenhouses themselves. A 

 very unusual grouping you see — one 

 that, because of its close associa- 

 tion with the residence, demanded 

 a construction combining both sim- 

 plicity and ornameiitalness. The 

 U-Bar is. strictly that kind. That's 

 why it won out. And that's the 

 seo.uel. The catalog shows numer- 

 ous views Of the entire layout. 

 Send for it.

LET *J S supply your wants in L_ilies 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 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 bad- 

 ly 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 5-7 inch, as usually offered. 



6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.60 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 lota, $175.00 per 1,000.
