%LILIUM HARRISII = 



WK OVFER A SELECTED STOCK OF THE ORIGINAL, TRUE HARRISII FOR EARLT FORCING. 



These bulbs have been grown from the original pure Harrisii, 

 and will be found to be splendid stock for early forcing, for which pur- 

 pose Harrisii is so valuable. We have had the stock inspected, and 

 are assured that it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free 

 from disease. This is not stock picked up indiscriminately from differ- 

 ent sources, but is grown from one stock and will be found very supe- 

 rior to the ordinary Harrisii usually offered, both in regard to free- 

 dom fi'om disease and purity, and not the late type now so often 

 furnished. 



Lilium Harrisii has been deteriorating slowly for years, and in 

 order to get back to the true type of the original Harrisii, we have had 

 our stock grown from the original pure stock and it will be found 

 very superior to the Lilium Harrisii usually offered. • While the stock 

 is A-No. 1, our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices asked for 

 indifferent stock. 



We have only a limited quantity of thi* stock to offer so it 

 will be advisable to place orders without delay in order to insure 

 securing this stock.

from doing any harm to Bermuda lily 

 trade, Mr. Harris 's letter is likely to have 

 a very beneficial effect and it would even 

 appear to be desirable topass a law mak- 

 ing it an indictable offense to sell L. 

 longitlorum as L. Harrisii. 



"The lesson to be drawn from the 

 results of the last few years is that the 

 Bermuda farmer has got to give up his 

 old rule of thumb methods and careless 

 packing and follow in the footsteps of 

 his brother farmers in other lands. If 

 he does not wish to go to the wall alto- 

 gether, he has got to learn to farm sci- 

 entifically and to grade and pack his 

 produce carefully. Instead of trying to 

 raise an enormous crop of onions for 

 which he cannot find a market, he will 

 have to go in for intensive farming and 

 raise small crops of high-grade produce, 

 for which he can find a market. First- 

 class stuff carefully packed and graded 

 will alWays find a sale when inferior 

 stuff is quite unsalable. This is a lesson 

 which the Bermuda farmer has got to 

 take to heart, or in the very near future 

 he will be in a worse plight than he is 

 at the present time, if such be possible. ' '
