Now Ready for Delivery 



Our first consijrnmentB have juBt reached us and we are now filling early order?. Easter cornea very early 

 next year, March 87, and a good many grnwers will have difficulty in getting Japan Longiflorum in flower in 

 time, and there will be an extra demand for Harrieii in consequence. 



In view of the fact that crop is short, we advise those who have not already placed order to lose no time 

 doing so. Last year we were not able to meet the demand for our selected Harrisii on late orders, so we urge 

 customers to order without delay. At present we have a good supply still to offer, and will be able to take care of 

 early orders, but there should be no delay in ordering, as there is sure to be a scarcity of good stock, especially 

 in the large sizes. 



We offer a selected stock of the original, true Harrisii for early forciuK. These bulbs have been grown from the original pure 

 Harrisii, and will be found splendid stock for early forcing, for which purpose Harrisii is so valuable. We have had the stock 

 inspected, and are assured it is almost absolutely pure and almost entirely free Irom disease. It is not stock picked up indiscrim- 

 inately from different sources, but is grown from one stock, and will be found very superior to the ordinary Harrisii usually 

 offered, both in regard to freedom from disease and purity, and not the late type now so often furnished.

 Carrying over some of the same seed, it 

 ■was again planted, with an opposite re-

 the average planter it was an entirely 

 different strain of seed from that which 

 had been used the year before, though 

 actually it was not only the same strain

 Being familiar with the variety, I do 

 not hesitate to say that the trouble was 

 due to overbrecding, or selection with- 

 out proper regard to securing, as a first 

 requisite, the greatest degree of hardi-
