Lilium 



Now Ready for Delivery 



Oar first conBignmenta have just reached us and we are now filling early orderp. Easter comes very early 

 next year, March 27, and a good many growers will have difiScalty in getting Japan Longiflorum in flower in 

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



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 forciag. These bulbs have been grown from the original pure 

 Harrisii, and will be found splendid 6tock 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 furniehed.
