LILIUN HARRISII 



(THE BERMIUDA EASTER LILY) 

 LET US SUPPLY YOUR WANTS IN LILIES THIS SEASON 



'We think we can make it to your advantage to do so, as tegaad* both quality and price. 



The (tock that we offer is not slathered indiscriminately from all kinds of sources, but is grown for us by a few selected grow- 

 ers whose stocks have been worked up from the true, original stock. In order to insure the health of tlie product, theibulbt are not 

 grown on the same field oftener than one season, other crops being grown on the field the preceding year. The ground is thor- 

 oughly manured when the previous crop is grown, leaving it in a nigh state of cultivation, and when the lily bulbs are planted 

 no fresh manure is used; this prevents £sease and insures a crop of strong, healthy bulbs. 



In addition to this, we do not dig our bulbs as early as they are usually dug, but leave them in the ground until they arc 

 thoroughly ripened and matured. When Harrisii is good it leaves little to be desired. There is very little, if any, stock obtain- 

 able as good as the stock that we are offering. We are supplying only this one grade of selected stodk and when this is disposed 

 of we ^all have no more to offer. 



While the quality of the stock that we offer is of the highest^our prices are as low as, or lower than, the prices of those wfio 

 offer the ordinary stock gathered from indiscriminate sources, we are sure buyers will find our stock very satisfactory, and 

 much more so than the Japan-grown Longiflorum, which has badly deteriorated in recent years. 



Bear in mind that we were the original introducers of Harrisii in Bermuda, and that we have exceptional fadHties for 

 obtaining our present supplies. Also take note that the smallest bulbs that we offer are 6-7 inch bulbs, not 5-7 inch, as usually 

 offered. 



6- 7 inch bulbs, 335 to the case, $15.00 per case; full thousand lots, $ 40.00 per 1000 



7- 9 inch bulbs, 200 to the case, 16.00 per case; full thousand fets, 75.00 per 1000 

 9-11 inch bulbs, 100 to the case, 18.00 per case; full thousand k>ts, 175.00 per 1000

individual in any one calendar month. 

 These tests will be made and reports 

 sent as promptly as possible and in the 

 order in which the samples are re- 

 ceived. 

 4. Test for germination. 



This test is made to determine the 

 percentage of seed which will ger- 

 minate under favorable conditions. The 

 seed of cereals, clovers and many vege- 

 tables can be easily tested without the 

 use of special apparatus. Some seeds, 

 however, including a number of the 

 grasses, are more difficult to test, re- 

 quiring exact conditions of tempera- 

 ture and moisture. 



Samples will be tested for germina- 

 tion in the order in which they are 

 received, and not more than ten (10) 

 tests for germination will be made for 

 any one firm or individual in any one 

 calendar month.
