Our Ideal Plan Number 87 at E. L. Chadbourne's Place, Portchester 

 New York, Albert Dornberger, Gardener 



IT'S ideal because ii combines attractiveness, utility, 

 economy and convenience in a way that can't be 

 beaten for a small range. 



It is fully illustrated in color with plan and full de- 

 scription in that new catalog of ours. 



Jusl to show you how popular this Ideal Plan No. 

 87 has proven: five duplicates were ordered from differ- 



ent parts of the country in as many weeks, after the 

 catalogue was published. One of the orders came from 

 California and the business was transacted all by tele- 

 graph. 



Perhaps it's just the house you need. 



Send for catalog and know.

LILIUM M A R R 8 S I i 



Tl-»e Bermuda Eas-fcet- l_ily 



l_E1~ US 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 dag, 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 6-7 inch, as usually offered. 



6-7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lota, $40.00 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 lots, $175.00 per 1,000.
