^ULIUM HARRISII- 



WS OVFER A SELKC7TED STOCK OF THK ORIGINAL, TRUE HARRISII FOR EARLT FORCING. 



These bulbs have been irrown 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 from 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 this stock to offer, so It 

 will be advisable to place orders \eltliout delay in order to insure 

 securing this stock.

tables and the prospects for abundant 

 crops of anything in this section retro- 

 grade daily. Nothing can save the situ- 

 ation but abundant rains. Sunday was 

 as warm as any day of the summer, even 

 the seashore registering 100 degrees. 



Little stock is reaching the cut flower 

 market. The hint to growers to hold 

 poor stuff, instead of losing express 

 charges, seems to have had a practical 

 effect. Everything good that came to 

 town on Saturday and Monday was 

 snapped up at advanced prices, especially 

 in carnations. Beauties, too, were scarce 

 and high; $z5 per hundred and up was 

 the quotation. But there were few to 

 be had at any price. All other varieties 

 remain at last week's quotations. 



Sweet peas are about done. Asters 

 are increasing daily and gladioli have 

 dropped to 50 cents per hundred. One 

 prominent grower of Long Island is now 

 shipping direct to the retail stores, in- 

 stead of distributing hi,s product through 

 the wholesalers, as has been his custom 

 during recent years. Tlie gladioli show 

 the effect of the long, dry spell in shorter 

 stalks and smaller flowers. Orchids are 

 l)opular and a few retail windows add 

 them to their water lily decorations. 

 There is not much that is new or at- 

 tractive now in window display. Apart 

 from the hotels and the funerals, one 

 might as well put up the shutters until 

 September. Everybody is away or going. 

 The lady bookkeepers are all making 

 their yearly conquests in the mountains. 

 Twenty-eighth street is as quiet as a

Pansy, Rawson's Giant Trimardeau 



This Pansy is grown for us in France and we claim superiority over any other strain of 

 the same name offered in America. Please do not compare it with Trimaideau Pansies 

 offered elsewhere. Our seeds are strong in germination.
