Lilium Harrisii 



Now Ready for Delivery 



Oar first consiKnmentB have just reached us add we are now filling early orders. Easier comes very early 

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

 time, and there will be an extra demand for Harrisii 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 lae 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 forciDg. 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 from 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 fumifihed. 



fl/7 Inch bulbs, 8S0 to the case $ 6.00 per 100; $ 55.00 per 1000

wliole by the sixty millions of cheap 

 jiaekets of common garden seeds it sends 

 (lilt at the behest of Congress, through the 

 Seed Section of the Bureau of Plant In- 

 tlustry, a distribution not in any sense 

 ilesigned to elevate agriculture, but bare- 

 facedly to keep the memory of the con- 

 ;;ressmen green in the minds of their 

 iiinstituents. 



Should Not Play Second Fiddle. 



So long as the government has an ex- 

 |ierimental farm, or agricultural station, 

 or whatever it may be called, it should 

 not in any way play second fiddle to any 

 state experimental station, but situated 

 IS the present farm is, it can never as- 

 sume a leading place, while the work of 

 ilie scientists of the field staff is almost 

 :■ waste of time compared with the good 

 ' ork they could do under more favorable 

 I ireumstances. 



Nearly all governmental projects, once 



f ommenced, go far beyond the original 



i'lans, and in the case of a national farm 



'■ may be considered as one which will 



' ' greatly developed, but if the location 



' IS been badly determined upon, the 



1 'Orations will be forever handicapped 



the adverse physical conditions. 



The writer does not advance objections 



a national trial grounds. On the con- 



•'^^y, he firmly believes such a govern- 



cnt station would be fully within the 



I'linince of the Department of Agri- 



"ilture, for testing and reporting the 



•niality and suggestively pointing out any 



' I rors in nomenclature, covering what is 



pparently the same plant advertised un- 



'''i" another name. "While the Department
